Weinstein faces seven charges in this trial: five counts of sexual assault and two counts of rape. If convicted on all charges, he could face 60 years. If he is acquitted, he still would still serve the remainder of his 23-year sentence from New York where he was convicted for rape and sexual assault nearly three years ago — though his New York defense team is currently appealing that conviction, which the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state, has agreed to hear.

He might be free in the not so distant future !

Weinstein — whom Deputy District Attorney Marlene Martinez had earlier called a “titan of the film industry” — engaged in “despicable behavior” and made sure that the alleged victims knew he “could destroy them,” the prosecutor said Thursday in her closing.
