The media has tainted the jury pool by spreading their pre-trial judgment across America and the world, says Weinstein's attorney.

Everyone deserves a fair and impartial jury of his peers, something the media and public seem determined to deny Harvey Weinstein.

And, yet, scores of reporters and so-called"activists" have already determined him guilty and are sharpening their knives in eager anticipation of his punishment. What does it say about our society when a person is convicted and sentenced in the court of public opinion by powerful media institutions before a single shred of legal and binding evidence has been submitted?

Lawyer Donna Rotunno and movie producer Harvey Weinstein depart from New York Supreme Court with his new legal team for a hearing July 11, 2019 to ask for another delay in the start of his rape trial.After being force-fed for years by the press, anyone with eyes and ears has seen or heard something about this case—just about every single day since October 2017. This 67-year-old man can't undergo surgery without ridicule. He is attacked for his appearance and accused of faking his ailments.

I say all of this not seeking sympathy for Mr. Weinstein. Nor do I expect it. I do expect, however, that he receives due process and a fair trial. The fact that this needs to be argued should raise concern for us all. There is nothing preventing you from being next. Long before you stand before a judge, the claims of a few can upend your life and destroy your reputation.

Oh see, this is what we not gonna do..

You know what they say about opinions. And yours suck.

Give him the fair trial Kavanaugh received.

Dirtbag

Will your next article investigate the origins of the sh*tshow that were the Kavanaugh Hearings? You’ve lost all credibility. Journalism is dead.

It has also been extremely difficult for his victims to get justice.

A pervert deserves? Yet your drool over the President being impeached for no impeachable offenses. Who writes your material and who is your editor? 😆🤣

Are you serious? Did the girls he abused get a fair anything? Disgusting.

HE DOESN'T FUCKING DESERVE A FAIR TRIAL OMG

how hollywood protects there own not the girls he sexually abused. He used a walker for attention when he was fine without it. He has spent no time in jail

Oh no, like, freedom of the press and junk, right?

Playing the victim. What money can buy.

Media interference? No way!!!

Really? Just stop with this bs!😡

The only fair trial he needs is to put him in the same cell that Epstein was in, with the same guards and no cameras. Save tax payers the costs.

Poor Harvey...

WTF?

So this “reporter” has declared him innocent before the trial - no need for any testimony folks - move along.

Jamierodr14 No. Herbert is doing that all by himself.

I watched an Interview with a English actress from Hollyoaks a British soap, LysetteAnthony she gave a harrowing testimony 2 the utter brutality& fear that Weinstein inflicted on her, a truly brave & remarkable woman who I do not doubt for one minute was telling the truth.

So the justice system that gives every advantage to the powerful is the bad guy . When any other person is perp walked - no conclusions are made ?Get honest. And think - lazy “ journalism “! Think !

Funny how the most biased, fakest, soros funded, propaganda outlet is screaming about 'fairness' and 'being impartial' Hypocrites

How dare you! Your an awful paper

Goota luv how the Leftist media supports a fair trial for a leftist thug like Weinstein but is okay with a continued railroad of Trump.

Opinion 2: Fair trial as the law prescribes is not the same as the trial he deserves or the decision of the court. It is often hard to focus on the specific crime when the defendant has a bevy of other abhorrent allegations. Thus the second oath for the Senate. Media should 2

Oh so now you care about fair trials and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty?

first / and last of all why should he get a fair trial after raping multiple women he deserves NOTHING

Opinion Liberty There is a contract The error is on those who do not read the contract and conditions The accused is acquitted according to the constitution and judicial legislations .. God bless America ,, Thank

Accessory game (left)

Fair trial he “deserves” GTFOH
