Harvey Weinstein, Mr. soon-to-be-living-the-rest-of-his- short-ass-life-in-agonizing-pain, arrested

He left his walker in the courtroom

 

Without a doubt.

 

See ya when you're 90, scumbag.

 

Actually, next we'll see him in a courtroom in Los Angeles, where he faces an even stricter sentence in a case that's being called a slam-dunk.

 

He's gonna have a hard time getting a job in Hollywood when he gets out. Not a lot of jobs for centenarians.

 

"This is your first conviction, but not your first offense."

 

Geez. Fucking lawyers ...

Arthur Aidala, one of Weinstein's defense attorneys, followed the victims' statements, saying he did not intend to rush. "This is a man's life here," he said.

Aidala argued for the minimum sentence of five years, saying that eight and a half years is the average sentence in New York for these crimes. He said Weinstein is a candidate for a low sentence given his background.

"He has no criminal history, he’s almost 70, he’s a broken-down man,” Aidala said. He said a longer sentence would be “a death penalty.”

Defense attorney Donna Rotunno said Weinstein has “a multitude of medical issues” and a history of heart disease in his family; incarceration could make it difficult to get the care he needs, she said.

She said Weinstein's career as a movie producer and creative person should be considered, as well as the impact of a sentence on his family, including his grown and young children.

“When you look at the allegations in the courtroom, you see a very small side of who Mr. Weinstein really is," she said. “This incarceration not only has an impact on Mr. Weinstein, but all the people who love and care about him.

“No matter what happens here today, judge, no one really wins," Rotunno said. Even if he gets the minimum sentence, she said, "there's a good chance that Mr. Weinstein won't live to see the end of that sentence, which is very sad."

Too bad we can't dig up the rotting corpses of Zanuck, Mayer, Hitchcock, ad infinitum, and hang them as well.

 

Abba dee abba dee abba dee ...

 

On the other hand, not even sure this makes A1 below the fold today.

 

Damn.
