The media has tainted the jury pool by spreading their pre-trial judgment across America and the world, says Weinstein's attorney.
Everyone deserves a fair and impartial jury of his peers, something the media and public seem determined to deny Harvey Weinstein.
And, yet, scores of reporters and so-called"activists" have already determined him guilty and are sharpening their knives in eager anticipation of his punishment. What does it say about our society when a person is convicted and sentenced in the court of public opinion by powerful media institutions before a single shred of legal and binding evidence has been submitted?
Lawyer Donna Rotunno and movie producer Harvey Weinstein depart from New York Supreme Court with his new legal team for a hearing July 11, 2019 to ask for another delay in the start of his rape trial.After being force-fed for years by the press, anyone with eyes and ears has seen or heard something about this case—just about every single day since October 2017. This 67-year-old man can't undergo surgery without ridicule. He is attacked for his appearance and accused of faking his ailments.
I say all of this not seeking sympathy for Mr. Weinstein. Nor do I expect it. I do expect, however, that he receives due process and a fair trial. The fact that this needs to be argued should raise concern for us all. There is nothing preventing you from being next. Long before you stand before a judge, the claims of a few can upend your life and destroy your reputation.
