Incredible. Two tier justice for the Uber wealthy and this open predator walks, with an “out of jail” card “Free”, while these 30 gals opt for cash and not Justice.

Hope NY throws him in the clink and loses the key.

Maybe they chose the silver instead of the lead.

"Hope NY throws him in the clink and loses the key."

That's the good news. He still has the criminal trial coming. Just today, the judge raised his bail.


Harvey Weinstein’s bail hiked to $2M bond weeks before sex assault trial

**snip**

Harvey Weinstein shuffled into Manhattan court Wednesday hunched over a walker — before a judge hiked his bail from $1 million cash to a $2 million bond.

**snip**

Assistant DA Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said Weinstein’s ankle monitor had been untraceable at least 56 times, in violation of the conditions of his release.

**snip**

The new bail legislation signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year bars defendants from paying for their own ankle monitors, and a judge can only order the device if it’s administered by the government or a nonprofit.

**snip**

As a result, Weinstein’s ankle monitor can no longer be mandated by the court. However, the $2 million bond was arranged by celebrity bondsman Ira Judelson, who is requiring that Weinstein continue to wear the device.

**snip**

Weinstein’s trial is slated to begin Jan. 6, and he faces up to life in prison. He’s charged with two counts of predatory sexual assault in connection with the alleged rape of “The Sopranos” actress Annabella Sciorra, 59, sometime between late 1993 and early 1994.

I'm not a felonfag, so I don't know how bail works, but did this actually reduce it? Reading some reporting from the hearing, it doesn't sound like the judge was impressed with the 'walker' routine. Is a bail bond usually secured with 10%? That would mean his $2 million bail bond is maybe reduced to $200k? Dunno.

Though I am seeing that his 'civil settlement' was actually $47 million and not 25. And his 'company' and insurance company will pay it, not him. Disgusting.
