Harvey Weinstein Convicted on Three Charges of Rape and Sexual ... (Variety)

The jury in the Harvey Weinstein L.A. trial convicted him on three charges, but hung on three others and acquitted him of a seventh count.

In a statement, Gascón said he was “disappointed” that the jury split on some of the counts. “Their strength, courage and conviction is a powerful example and inspiration to all of us,” Newsom continued. The jury split 10-2 in favor of convicting him of the misdemeanor count. “They hate it now, unequivocally, and that hate translated into their testimony.” To all survivors out there – I see you, I hear you, and I stand with you.” I hope Weinstein never sees the outside of a prison cell during his lifetime.” Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Gov.

The jury acquitted him of the felony sexual battery of a massage therapist, identified as Jane Doe #3. “Harvey Weinstein forever destroyed a part of me that night in 2013 and I will never get that back,” she said.

The rape trial of “That ’70s Show” actor Danny Masterson, held simultaneously and just down the hall from Weinstein’s, ended in a mistrial. Weinstein beat four other felony charges before the trial even ended when prosecutors said a woman he was charged with raping twice and sexually assaulting twice would not appear to testify. A movie about that reporting, “She Said,” was released during the trial, and jurors were repeatedly warned not to see it. But only eight of the 12 jurors agreed to find Weinstein guilty of those counts. The jury was unable to reach a decision on counts involving two accusers, notably rape and sexual assault charges involving Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a documentary filmmaker and the wife of California Gov. He will spend the rest of his life behind bars where he belongs,” Siebel Newsom said in a statement.

Harvey Weinstein found guilty on 3 of 7 charges in Los Angeles (NPR)

Weinstein's legal trouble is far from over. In London, he faces criminal charges of indecent assault of a woman in 1996.

His attorneys are now appealing his New York verdict, so his Los Angeles conviction could mean he stays behind bars for the rest of his life. "In Hollywood, sex was a commodity," Weinstein's attorney, Mark Werksman told the jury, saying Weinstein's actions were part of a "casting couch culture." In 2015, she filed a police report that spurred sex crimes prosecutors to investigate Weinstein. To all survivors out there — I see you, I hear you, and I stand with you." "Throughout the trial, Weinstein's lawyers used sexism, misogyny, and bullying tactics to intimidate, demean, and ridicule us survivors.

Harvey Weinstein found guilty in second sex crimes trial (BBC News)

The 70-year-old is already serving 23 years in jail after he was convicted in New York two years ago.

He was cleared of that attack. When he heard guilty on count one, the former Hollywood producer looked down. Then the court clerk read guilty on count two and he looked at his lawyer. A mistrial was declared on those counts. The woman whom Weinstein was convicted on Monday of raping, Jane Doe 1, was a Russian-born model. The Oscar-winning Shakespeare in Love and Pulp Fiction producer and co-founder of the entertainment company Miramax was wearing a grey suit and looked pale at the court in Los Angeles on Monday.

Harvey Weinstein found guilty of rape in LA trial more than 2 years ... (USA TODAY)

Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of rape in his LA trial as he continues to face legal repercussions from #MeToo allegations.

When Young testified in New York in February 2020, she was not one of the accusers whose stories would lead to Weinstein's conviction for rape and sexual assault and a 23-year prison sentence because her alleged encounter with Weinstein took place in California, not New York. He was initially sent to Rikers Island in New York, but was extradited in 2021 to a California county jail as he faced several more similar charges on the West Coast. The jury reported it was unable to reach verdicts in her allegations and the allegations of another woman. “It is time for the defendant’s reign of terror to end,” Deputy District Attorney Marlene Martinez said. He looked forward as the rest of the verdict was read. Weinstein is already two years into a 23-year sentence for a rape and sexual assault conviction in New York.

Harvey Weinstein Jury Deadlocks on Harsh Sentencing Factors (Variety)

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.

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." While six men were charged with assaulting Araujo on a pool table in a Massachusetts bar, the 21-year-old single mother became the target of defense attacks portraying her as a welfare cheat and a woman of questionable morals. Mostly, though, the LA attorneys combined their combative stance with quieter lines of interrogation that centered on hotel-guest folios, the victims' social-media accounts, cell-phone-tower pings, and DNA examinations of a dress. The jury acquitted Weinstein of her charges. A mistrial was declared on the Jane Doe 2 counts when the jury could not unanimously agree on Weinstein's guilt.
