The last we heard, members of the judge and Prosecution Team were talking to the jury behind closed doors to understand their verdict. Yes. The question is, what will happen to Harvey Weinstein. Im sure the prosecution will press hard to have him taken to prisons since hes been convicted of two significant felonies, not the two others, predatory Sexual Assault charge that carry a life sentence. It will be seen, i would think, as a big victory because these cases were seen as difficult to prosecute. The main reason the defendants, both had complicated relationships with weinstein, in one case, went on after the alleged criminal act. There are also hundreds of emails in that case that establish a relationship between them. Yet, the bottom line is he has been found guilty of these two felony charges. Were waiting again to s
And the penalty for that is up to 25 years in prison. All of this was for the acquisition of mimi haley, of our Production Assistant who said that he sexually assaulted her in 2006 and according to the jury they say the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Harvey Weinstein did in fact commit this crime. The second count i should say, that Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of, rape in the third degree, jessica mann says that Harvey Weinstein raped her in a hotel room. All this information just coming out now, we are still waiting to hear a little bit more and for the people in the courtroom to actually leave, we havent seen anyone leave the courtroom just yet but Harvey Weinstein also faced three other counts, predatory sexual of salt, predatory Sexual Assault for his third accounting and rape in tht degree, those three hes been found not guilty.

Many of them say they will have a new strategy, take down Bernie Sanders. Joe biden may have the most to lose. The former Vice President has staked everything on South Carolina.

At a cnn town hall last night sanders doubled down on his praise of cuban dictator fidel castro despite fierce bipartisan criticism. So we will play that for jaw also breaking overnight, the coronavirus outbreak sending Global Markets into a freefall. The
Get her view of how rape prosecutions have changed in her four decades as a lawyer. But first, that the president of the United States doesnt know what hes doing and doesnt know what hes supposed to be doing in the job of president is of concern every day. But with the coronavirus and the age of Global Travel now threatening virtually every country in the world, the documented fact and book after book from sources inside the Trump White House that donald trump has no idea what to do in the face of such a crisis is more alarming than the typical day in the trump presidency. So far the only thing we know the president has done about the threat of the coronavirus is to tweet. Today he tweeted the coronavirus is very much under control in the usa and not one person in the usa can believe that. Even Trump Supporters know they cannot believe that.
