Harvey Weinstein

Former film producer and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty on multiple sex crime charges in the second Los Angeles trial.

In addition, the jury was hung on charges relating to Jane Doe #3 and Jane Doe #4, also known as Jennifer Siebel Newsom. I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell during his lifetime.” [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2022/12/harvey-weinstein-verdict-rape-trial-jennifer-siebel-newsom-los-angeles-1235193722/), the jury found Weinstein guilty on all charges when it came to Jane Doe #1 and not guilty of sexual battery in relation to Jane Doe #2.

While the lawyers (all men) forcefully pressed the women on their recollection of the assaults and their reasons for remaining in touch with Alexander, they never played a shame-and-blame game. With the exception of making a straw woman of the #MeToo movement, some parts of the defense's attack are emerging in other sexual-assault trials. That is, not only were these events not coerced, but they were tacitly agreed to by the women as the cost of professional advancement in the entertainment industry, the attorneys argued. Nevertheless, the Alexander trial made it a little less acceptable for future defense lawyers to fall back on the old ways. Early in the trial, Weinstein's aggressive defense was cited by some as a return to the "shame-and-blame" strategy that puts the alleged victim on trial. So if they are able to persuade even one juror that this is what happened, then from the defense point of view, they've done their job."

The jury in the Harvey Weinstein trial deadlocked on two sentencing factors that could have led to a longer prison term.

The Los Angeles jury acquitted Weinstein of one count and could not reach a verdict on three other counts. She had to decide on the fly how she was going to react.” The prosecution asked the jury to approve two factors: that the victim was “particularly vulnerable” and that Weinstein had planned the assault. 1, a jury must approve “aggravating factors” in order for the judge to sentence him to the maximum term — eight years — on each count. Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson argued Tuesday morning that she was particularly vulnerable because she was thousands of miles from her home in Italy, spoke limited English, and had “very little support structure” in the U.S. Because the jurors could not reach a unanimous decision on those factors, Weinstein will face no more than 18 years in prison on the L.A.

Prosecutors in the Harvey Weinstein case will now have to decide whether to retry the three counts on which the jury was deadlocked. Here are the details.
