guess his prison sentence
25 years
sharezero and an apology
shareWhere is the crystal ball when you need it?
shareConvicted on 2 of 5 counts. Faces 5-25 years.
shareI'm going to guess 7 years, he'll serve 5. I don't have anything to base that on it seems no one gets the max sentence in high profile cases unless it's like a mass murderer or child killer. I wonder how long it will be until he actually starts serving the sentence considering appeals and whatever his lawyers are doing to drag this thing out as long as possible.
shareapparently he's looking at 28 ..
sharewell with Cosby they had some evidence where he had paid off at least one victim. I don't know a lot about this case but one lady is saying Harvey raped her in 2004, that might be hard to prove. I'll say if he doesn't incriminate himself he's got a fighting chance to avoid prison but still his life is destroyed.
shareHe's finished in Hollywood, but he won't do time.
shareBut surely the judge court etc will have to give him something like at least 10y? Otherwise they going to look like OJ 2 (also as an acknowledgement to the Metoo Timesup movement)
shareIt isn't a murder, so the crime itself is not remotely as clear cut. At this point, it's only a claim of a crime. With OJ, there definitely was a murder, but it was whether or not he did it. It's also long after the fact in most instances, and most judges will realize that a lot of these women might have tried to use sexuality to get career advancement from Harvey. It's irrelevant if that actually happened, because we are talking about building a legal case. Good lawyer, no prior criminal history, and the fact that rape is notoriously difficult to prove means he probably won't do time. The metoo movement is already over, because some women thought it was a chance for attention and jumped on the bandwagon over things like bad dates, rather than actual sexual assault. It diluted the water too much.
shareInteresting. much to ponder
shareGreat points, you're so right that rape is hard to prove. They found a HUGE legal loophole in Cosby's case(his 2005 admission to using quaaludes to having sex with young women and even admitting it was illegal) but do they have anything like this on Weinstein? Don't get me wrong I think he's done some very bad things but rape is a big leap. Already this trial has email from an accuser saying she "loves" Harvey..this email was sent long after the date she said she was assaulted.
shareHe won't do time - you really believe that?
