I always seen the Weinstein company name from watching Kevin Smiths movies growing up and decided to search a picture of these brothers.

My first thought of Harvey was this guy looks like a creep and a pervert.
Bob I’m not too sure about him?

A woman has the right to feel safe, you don't get 23 years by accident.

From reports, it sounds like the prosecution just screwed up. Allowed things they shouldn't have. But it will be re-tried and he's still serving 16 years for another conviction that wasn't overturned.

James Burke, “erroneously” allowed testimony from three women, whose allegations weren’t connected to the case, to be presented as evidence.

Judge Burke then “compounded that error” by ruling that Weinstein could be asked about the women’s accusations on the witness stand if he chose to testify, along with “numerous” other allegations of misconduct that portrayed him in “a highly prejudicial light”.
