Former Hollywood tycoon Harvey Weinstein was convicted again of one count of sexual assault in a Manhattan court on Wednesday, though the jury acquitted him of another and deadlocked on a third but the judge told them to come back and deliberate more on Thursday, Variety reports.
Weinstein – whom convicted felon President Trump described as having been “schlonged” in his two convictions for sex crimes in New York and Los Angeles in 2020 and 2022, respectively. The New York verdict was tossed on appeal last year resulting in this mont’s retrial. He was first sentenced to 23 years in the joint in New York, which was vacated with the first conviction so now he awaits resentencing, and then 16 years in California. It seems fairly unlikely he’s ever going to get out as the sentences in two separate states cannot be served concurrently and the 72 year-old either has serious health problems or was exaggerating them to look sympathetic to a court while still kind of looking like he aged quite a bit more rapidly due to the stress of his downfall. Sucks for him.
