So Harvey was found guilty on two counts today.I wonder, was a fair trial even technically possible for him to get, under the intense public scrutiny and media interest and all?
Like could the judge and jury really go into it as unbiased as possible
I myself doubt it. What do you think?
I went for the third option. Due to all the hype and bias, prejudice can't but help but creep in and really for that reason, this should have been a trial without jury perhaps. I don't care for the jury model anyway. Talking about creep's, Weinstein was a creep and if anything, he was a predator, but was cleared of that aspect. That is the main thing he is guilty of.
His past has caught up with him and this has been going on with him for around 30yrs +. Why only being nipped in the bud now? It was just accepted and covered up. What is going to happen now, since many of these claims are well past the statute of limitations, they will still influence his sentencing, even though he was not on trial for many of the witness testimonies. How can this really be considered justice. The same thing happened with OJ Simpson, for the extraneous amount of time he spent for armed robbery, allegedly attempting to steal his own stuff back. His past preceded him.
