Around 36 hours before Harvey Weinstein is set to discover how long he is going to prision for, the disgraced producer and convicted sex offender’s defense team today say they want the judge to low…
According to the trio of lawyers and the average life expectancy of a white male of Weinstein’s age, getting the maximum that the D.A. clearly desires could kill the often-hobbled producer. “Given his age and specific medical risk factors, any additional term of imprisonment above the mandatory minimum—although the grave reality is that Mr. Weinstein may not even outlive that term— is likely to constitute a de facto life sentence,” asserts the 7-page letter to Judge Burke.
“By way of background, Mr. Weinstein, like most people, is complicated and the trial did not fairly portray who he is as a person,” the correspondence from the defense teams also notes in its plea for leniency. “His life story, his accomplishments, and struggles are simply remarkable and should not be disregarded in total because of the jury’s verdict,” they say.
With an appeal undoubtedly coming soon, the consequence of that verdict will be for Judge Burke to decide on Wednesday. As the dust settles of sorts from the L.A. County D.A. primary last week, it will also likely see Weinstein soon inside a West Coast courtroom to face charges here that incumbent Jackie Lacey made public on January 6 – the first day of the rape trial in NYC.

Harvey Weinstein Is Finally in Jail and Has Been Accused of 16 More Sexual AssaultsI’d really hoped that, following him being found guilty in February, the news about Harvey Weinstein would be relatively light if not completely nonexistent until his eventual sentencing, which is set for March 11. Given that alleged predators are publishing and then not publishing books, and confessed rapists are being given major awards, I was looking forward to the potential of having to hear about one less scumbag somersaulting through the news cycle.\n
