Judge Napolitano calls Weinstein verdict a 'monumental setback' for government
Foxnews ^ | 02/24/2020 | Joshua Nelson

Posted on 02/24/2020 1:30:02 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano reacted to the Harvey Weinstein verdict on “America’s Newsroom” Monday, calling it a "significant victory" for the disgraced movie producer and a "monumental setback" for prosecutors.

Weinstein, 67, was convicted of first-degree commission of a criminal sexual act and third-degree rape but was acquitted of two more serious charges of predatory sexual assault, as well as first-degree rape. The charges Weinstein was convicted of carry a total sentence of up to 29 years in prison.

“He’s still facing serious time," Napolitano said. "But, these are not the life sentences, the big ones the government wanted."

Even if Weinstein gets 5 and is out in 2, the entire world now knows his genitalia is so small it was thought to be “missing”. Yikes!

Maybe because it’s a well know fact that Hollywood bimbo’s are ready and willing to sell their bodies for a movie roll.

I think his guess will be a lot closer to the actual sentence than 29 years. What’s the over/under?

Given his track record it WON’T BE LONG before he faces more charges.

How many more charges does he face. I know that there’s at least one in Kalifornia.

The rumor mill for years is that Napolitano is a closeted homosexual.

Fox News’ Andrew Napolitano wife-less status has sparked gay rumors. Is he really gay?

Who knows what drives Nappy's weird behavior as of late, but like Drudge and Shep Smith, that type of sinful behavior means your God-given sense of morality is beyond twisted.

What the hell is 3rd degree rape? Either a person (women included with devices) inters a woman's vagina without permission or they don't.

Is this when a woman consents and discovers the guy is ugly, or small penis, or too large, or she sobers up, or someone intrudes on the act and she's trying to keep her reputation?? Sorry, won't Google.

Weinstein has been long known to be a predator of young actresses. Glad he got some guilty verdicts. Can you name the celebrities and politicians that courted his favor and money?

What a fraud with his recent walker. To bad it didn't play for jury. HA!

I actually won’t waste my time paying any more attention to him know than I did before her was outed as a sub human monster.

The main thing is he will never have the life he did before because if he even LOOKS as if he will commit these same offenses he will be sued and the next time he actually may go away for life. His days of using his position as a ticket to free sex are over and in fact there will be countless women out there who will attempt to set him up in hopes of a pay day.

Like I said, his life is effectively over.

He’s right. They lost on the most serious charges.

There are other prosecutable cases in Los Angeles. I am very happy today for all victims of powerful men.

“Hes’ not going to get 29 years.
He will only get 5 and be out on parole in 2.
Watch and see.”

He will lose weight, get buff lifting weights and come out with some whammy movies and the starlets will all go up to his hotel room begging for a role.
