None at all.

The government had made a deal with Cosby that if he gave testimony and waived his 5th amendment rights that they would only charge him with civil violations and not criminal charges.

Then then the new government guy got in and used Cosby to get elected and said screw all that and not only charged him with criminal violations but used his own testimony in the civil trial as evidence!

Today the appeals court found that the government violated its own agreement and promises and set him free.

Weinstein has no promise from the government.

But he’s black. And he was funny. That’s what really matters.
Let him off so he can get reparations.

Harvey Weinstein was not funny, but famous, rich, liberal and a Friend of Bill. So let him off. He has famous, lefty and rich privilege.

I did not follow this case that closely and therefore did not know about this reneging on the deal. This is outrageous. I am sorry it took 2 years to straighten it out. Too bad they can’t charge the prosecutor with violating his civil rights.
It is just another example of how the injustice system has run off the rails.
