HARVEY WEINSTEIN’S 2020 RAPE CONVICTION OVERTURNED BY NEW YORK APPEALS COURT:
On Thursday, the court found in a 4-3 ruling that the judge in Weinstein’s trial — a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement that the 2017 allegations against him started — had shown prejudice by allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. The court has now ordered a new trial.
Weinstein, the Oscar-winning producer of “Shakespeare in Love” and “Good Will Hunting,” is serving a 23-year sentence at the Mohawk Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison in Rome, N.Y. He will remain imprisoned as he was also convicted of rape in Los Angeles in 2022 and sentenced to an additional 16 years in prison. However, Weinstein was acquitted in the Los Angeles trial on charges involving a woman who testified in his New York case.
Note though that, “In spite of Thursday’s decision, Weinstein will remain in prison because he was separately sentenced in February 2023 to 16 years in prison in a Los Angeles criminal case for raping an Italian model. She testified that he threw himself onto her after appearing uninvited outside her “hotel room during an Italian film festival there in 2013.”

JOHN LUCAS: Negotiating with Uniformed and Well-Supplied Terrorists (not “Demonstrators”).
This “Bits and Pieces” will discuss three related matters surrounding the current take-overs of the Columbia University campus and other venues: (1) The perpetrators are terrorists, not “demonstrators,” (2) the uniforms they choose show their tribal affiliation with the Hamas butchers, and (3) the logistical support they are receiving from unidentified supporters and financiers. It will close with a modest proposal for action: Sue the bastards.
I agree.
