But barbara, the woman, and her husband were able to get out. Her husband is recovering now. He was hospitalized. But can you imagine that . I cannot imagine. Never spoke words before. Fire, fire. I thought that parrots had to learn these words. Right. And then they only it was only like a couple, or maybe that one word, that it spoke.

The former movie mogul entered a new york city courtroom with a walker, he left in handcuffs as a convicted rapist. Now weinstein is being evaluated for Blood Pressure and other issues before heading to jail as his attorneys look to appeal the verdict that put him behind bars. Heres abcs erielle reshef. Reporter he was once one of the most powerful movie producers in hollywood but Harvey Weinstein is a convicted sex offender facing five to 29 years behind bars. This is the new landscape for survivors of Sexual Assault in america, i believe. Weinstein is a vicious serial sexual predator who used his power to threaten, rape, assault, trick, humiliate, and silence his victims. Reporter the former movie mogul appearing stunned by the verdict as he was lifted out of his seat and taken to jail. He looked at me and he just said, im innocent. Hes like, im innocent.

But it will mean the most to the brave women testifying and to all of us silence breakers. Reporter weinstein picking a highpowered defense team, including an attorney who built her career defending men accused of sex crimes, Donna Rotunno arguing in and out of the courtroom that weinsteins accusers engaged in consensual sex to advance their careers. You have to know when you make certain choices theres a risk when you make those choices. A lot of people would say what you just said is victim blaming. Thats absolutely not true. If you dont want to be a victim, dont go to the hotel room. Reporter survivors and activists calling the verdict a moment of reckoning for the me too movement. Rose mcgowan tweeting today is a powerful day and a huge step forward in our collective healing. Ashley judd saying, this is the way its supposed to be, harveys guilty verdict demonstrates how overwhelmingly guilty he was.

Our thanks to erielle. And as erielle mentioned, this is not over. Weinstein still facing those charges in l. A. His defense team thinks that obviously what happened in new york could have an impact there that could be detrimental, possibly sway jurors in l. A. , can he get a fair trial .

And giving opponents fresh fodder by defending the late cuban dictator fidel castro in an interview with 60 minutes. Were very opposed to the authoritarian nature of cuba.

Even though fidel castro did it . Reporter the comments triggering an avalanche of criticism, including from South Carolinas most powerful democrat, congressman jim clyburn, who spoke with abcs byron pitts. What did you make of sanders comment on sunday about the virtues of castros communist cuba . I thought when i heard that, i shivered. That reinforced the fear that south carolinians have about his socalled democratic socialism. I think that was an unforced error. Reporter sanders also on the defensive about the cost of his sweeping plans, including medicare for all and free college tuition. Does he have a price tag for all of these thing in this. No, we dont. You mention making public colleges and universities tuition free and canceling student debt, thats correct. Thats what i want to do. We pay for that by a modest tax on wall street speculation. You say you dont know what the total price is but you know how its going to be paid for, how do you know how its going to be paid for if you dont know what the price is .

He was an amazing dad, amazing husband, who dedicated himself to his family and who loved his daughters. With all his heart. Kobe was the mvp of girl dads, or mvd. He never left the toilet seat up. He always told the girls how beautiful and smart they are. He taught them how to be brave and how to keep pushing forward when things got tough. He loved being giannas basketball coach. He told me he wished he had convinced natalia to play basketball so they could have spent even more time together. He told me he wanted bianka and capri to take up basketball when they got older so he could spend just as much time with them as he did gigi. Now, they wont have their daddy and sister here to teach them and that is truly a loss i do not understand. Im so thankful kobe heard coco say dada. Gianna had a sweet grace about her.
