After hearing from 35 witnesses over more than two weeks of testimony, the New York City jury in Harvey Weinstein’s rape and sexual assault case will begin deliberations this morning.

Weinstein is facing five felony counts of rape and sexual assault, based on the testimony of two complaining witnesses: former “Project Runway” production assistant Miriam ‘Mimi’ Haleyi -- who claims the Hollywood producer sexually assaulted her in 2006, and an accuser who claims Weinstein raped her in a Manhattan hotel suite in 2013. ABC News is not naming the rape accuser because she has never publicly identified herself.

Prosecutors portrayed the accusers in opening arguments as unsuspecting women who sought out professional opportunities but got more than they bargained for. Movie producer Harvey Weinstein departs his sexual assault trial at New York Criminal Court with his lawyer Donna Rotunno on February 14, 2020 in New York City.Hast outlined the accounts of numerous witnesses allegedly overpowered by Weinstein who -- nervous, upset and confused -- sometimes gave up the physical struggle against him and simply stopped resisting.

"What you are going to see throughout this trial is that they wanted to have it both ways," Cheronis said."You can't say, 'I'm afraid of this man, I can't get away from him,' and then reach out to him to see if he'll be in L.A. for your birthday."Prosecutors contended that the accusers were “tricked” into being alone with Weinstein, and then suddenly sexually assaulted.

Then why is it ok for Victims Advocates & attorneys like Steve Kelly & Amanda Grady Sexton to talk to media pre-trial, train prosecutors, train victim, taint public opinion in readiness for rich civil suit in their one-stop-shop scheme (NH v owenlabrie)

I had a judge James once. You sure could embed another story with this data.

i'd have thought they'd have made a decision by now guilty throw away the key. any copy out there you'll be next.

Nothing is more pathetic than that creature faking a disability for pity

BenAffleck is hanging out on GetUp while his buddy is getting his comeuppance... When do the VIRUSES that KNEW what Harvey was doing, get what’s coming to them? HOLLYWEIRD HYPOCRITES.

PT would adjust his walker to accommodate a stable gait. He looks like the Hunchback of Notre Dame!

Give him the chair!

FOB friend of crooked Hillary and Bill Clinton

well if it ain't uncle junior

Casually walk up stairs . No visoble effort to hold himself.

He needs to be in jail for life. It would be fun to see a protestor pour something on him. Rapist of gentile women. Notice he and Epstein never targeted Jewish women and girls? Very telling. arrestghishlainemaxwell AnnCoulter TuckerCarlson rosemcgowan AshleyJudd thehill

At least this one has wheel s and no tennis balls

Something tells me the walker is just a prop meant to solicit sympathy.

He seems to do fine walking up the stairs without his stroller/walker. Who’s his lawyer? Whiplash?

An energy payment system where rewards and punishments are...... nvm

I've seen Weinstein's fake, feel sorry for me, pity party before...

Wasn’t shit wrong with him before this case 🙄

Yes I really think they should give him an acting prize for this performance. Say a lifetime “gig” in prison

I hope the poor little me Walker thing backfires

trump will pardon him.

He had no problem with the stairs! It’s a miracle!

Ohhh he's got a little lunch box in there now

Bull Crap 💩 !!!!!

Where’s Oprah when he needs a friend? I thought they were BFF? 🤔

An Oscar winning performance

PIG !!!

Can't wait to see him skip around like a leprechaun if he's acquitted.

Did he bring his penis-vagina with him

Perro enfermo hijo de la gran putaaa 🤮🤮🤮🤮👆👆🤮🤮🤮

Yea this mofo all of a sudden is a cripple. 😂😂

Have you ever seen so much bullshit in one clip?

He's going up those stairs just fine. Does he think he's Vinny 'The Chin' Gigante? What a loser Weinstein is.

Oprah I am waiting for a documentary about your rapist best friend . I guess if it was a black man you will be like “let make a documentary about this black man it will sell” . We are still waiting Oprah

Bill Cosby is looking very pale.😂

Where’s his biggest fans? MichelleObama Oprah WhoopiGoldberg and all those others who thought he was “a lovely human being”... where y’all at? What do you have to say now The hypocrisy is a deafening silence 🤔

He’s such a vile man. I’m afraid the jury is going to let him off.

And the Oscar for acting disabled goes to.... HarveyWeinstein HarveyWeinstein harveyweinsteintrial

man this dude about to show up in a Hoveround next...😩 HarveyWeinstein

Aww, that poor old, handicapped man couldn’t have sexually assaulted all those women 🙄

Well, the good news is that his body has deteriorated into the “prison sex” position. So he’s definitely ready for incarceration! JusticeIsComing

it’s sad it took so long for all these victims to speak.

Another pathetic individual... remove the walker and watch him quite possible walk just fine without falling...

He’s got obvious problems.

Is it me or is Harvey looking worse? I’m guessing he’s getting couched.

A lot of sex can really damage your back.

BLKLiberation84 Hold up! He was walking up the steps just fine. That is nothing but a FRONT! We're not stupid.

He isn't using the Rollator for medical reasons. It's a manipulation tool. He has no idea how to use it properly, and there's not one MD, RN or PT that would teach him to use it this way. He has no trouble with balance, weakness or coordination based on how he's walking here.

And... Action !

If he wins he will kick away the walker and dance out of the courthouse.

Lock him up!!

He doesn’t need that walker. What, does he have debilitating bone spurs or something? 😉💩

Poor poor harvey . Poor poor thing. Don’t forget he’s in the acting business.

I think it’s hilarious that before he got caught, he’d walk around with a strut of arrogance. Soon as he’s on trial, there’s a walker. Uh huh. Sure buddy. Miss the old one with the tennis balls tho.

He can use that stroll in prison,

Fastest walker user I've ever seen

Does he wear a back support belt ? If not. Maybe he should

lmao bro stop faking just die already 😂

...and has no problem walking up the stairs...

It would be believable if only that was even the physically appropriate way to use a walker. This is being laid on THICK right now.

Hahahaha THIS GUY DESERVES AN OSCAR! 😂😂😂

Where have I seen this act before?

What happened to the old walker with the 🎾?!?

Well who would have gue- nevermind

iNews9K TRANSLATION: Wheinstein Wheelie Wheelie Innocent, Says Product Placement Maven.

I see he upgraded from the walker with the tennis balls. What a tool.

upgrade on the walker! wow! that's more like it!

Common ploy using a walker or wheelchair - obvious to the judge.

This clown with the walker. Funny how all the criminals become so disabled so suddenly once they are caught

He went from such fame to walker so quickly. No sympathy here!

Lol He's a better actor than some of his actors 🤭🤣🤣

Fucking ridiculous

This isn’t news anymore until the verdict comes in.

I think the walker is a act !! Guilty he is .. I’m surprised Clinton and Obama haven’t helped him out if this yet . Or maybe they have like rigging the jury 🤔

They are making him use those steps to show he is fine.... I say this because there’s a ramp on the side he could easily use.

😂😂😂😂 he's white he'll get a slap on the hand. But they should do him like they did my uncle Bill. Where's Oprah so he kiss her on her cheek again and take pictures with him.

Tupac showed up to his court case in a wheelchair after getting shot 5 times. You’ll be ite

Oh please! Who’s buying that walker bullshit? Pathetic

When you’re doing the perp-walk with a cane and a walker, that guarantees your guilty. He should’ve went like the “Chin” and wore a bathrobe over his $5000 Brioni suit complete with drooling and mumbling defense.

No sympathy for the devil.

I'm so pissed that HBO is allowing him to act on this season of Curb Your Enthusiasm! PIG!!!

Stop 🛑 it Smdh. Oprah , Gayle get up there and interfered him!

Wow he sure is cruising up those stairs tho

realDonaldTrump needs his walker back. DementiaWobblyDonald

Look how lightly he grabs the staircase railing. Clearly doesn’t need support to stand up. Nice prop though.

😂

Life. Immediately.

It's hard to not mock the walker.

Looking at him and the way he walks, I don’t see how they can find him guilty. They’ll think a guy with a walker wouldn’t be able to do the things he’s accused of. But who knows.

Really a walker Bullshitttt

Complete with his 'I'm just a poor old man' prop walker.

Barf.

Throw out the trash

He’s gotten keep his snacks somewhere

The walker strategy make me cringe.

FREE HARVEY!!!

That walker ain’t fooling nobody.

Does this remind any other 'olds' about the episode where Mrs Brady got in a car wreck and the guy showed up in court in a giant neck Brace and Mr Brady dropped his briefcase and - no? Just me?

AP ,CNN ,BBCWorld ,BBCNews ,MSNBC ,FoxNews ,santilli_pete ,joerogan ,jimmy_dore , shaunattwood it really doesn’t matter because Bloomberg will pardon Harvey Weinstein right after he buys the election.

Sure walked up those stairs with ease 🙄

Is anyone buying that walker bit?

Is his rape kit in the front of that thing

After reading the report, looks very much like, consensual.

Criminal malingering

Lock him up and throw away the key.

Where's John Hinckley Jr?

I’ve been listening to the catchandkill podcasts start to finish. Weinstein is a disgusting and evil predator. I hope he gets put away for the rest of his life & his victims can breathe easier knowing other women will never fall prey to him again. His enablers should be ashamed!

He shows no signs of remorse.

It's interesting how they all get so weak and ill when they have to appear on their court trials.

Zero Fucks Harvey

Cosby was 99% blind and they threw his butt in jail. Let’s see if Harvey gets the same treatment. dobutful

It amazes me that when all these perverts actually get caught and they are on trial, many of them suddenly need walkers, canes, wheelchairs, etc. NoSympathy

Missing a few props my dude lol

He is so full of shit.

It's going to be hard to drop the soap with that thing. J/s

Aww, poor thing. He’s doing the best he can. Just kidding. 🖕🏾him. Lying POS.

This is offensive to people who actually need walkers. This asshole is simply trying to get a lighter sentencing.

He's a stair master!

There’s ramp access to this building he could’ve used. People in wheelchairs go to the courthouse all the time - and ADA regulations mandate the building be accessible. This is a dog and pony show for HarveyWeinstein and it’s shameful.

Pathetic.

A life lead by continued rape of females can and will cause your back to finally break down later in life! It's called K A R M A!!

Hope he rots in prison. And all the “privileges and benefits” that come along with that experience.

Phoney fukker all crippled up faking a disability,a week after he’s aquited he’ll be golfing and playing tennis.

The walker is just deeply offensive on multiple levels.

He's shrunk by two sizes.

Show him the same merci he showed his victims.

Even Mike Brady wouldn’t fall for Harvey’s bullshit.

Surely since he has some he knows the Oscars were a week or two ago

Has he ever seen someone walk with a walker?

This one is healthy & strong just sentence him He will straight

He's overacting with that Walker. Way too much drama. No Oscar for him.

Trying the Bill Cosby defense, huh?

He will get what he deserves, but everyone from the crowd trying to hit him in the balls, people you are not better than him.

He pulled the walker out smh they know how to get people to feel bad for them

I’m not buying that sh*t 🤔

Harvey don't step on your balls... HarveyWeinstein

He climbs a few stairs with steady legs. Fake.

Pathetic little man looking for sympathy...

I hope he rots in jail !!!

He went up those stairs pretty easily...

OSCAR 2020

Not Today Harvey! For your victims sake, you should be locked up for the rest of your miserable life! You ARE NOT the victim!

Wow he looks like he has aged tremendously-

Let us NEVER FORGET when the ABSOLUTE DISGRACEFUL MichelleObama OPENED UP WITH 'HEY' THEN DECLARED WEINSTEIN AS A 'WONDERFUL,HUMAN BEING' Proof positive SATAN DOES EXIST OTRAUMA and her DESTROYED OUR GREAT COUNTRY

Feed him to the GREAT WHITE SHARKS, don't waste tax payers money in putting a NUT CASE IN PRISON.

Looks like the city still has accessibility issues even tho he seems to get up those stairs just fine.

He should get an oscar for the way he uses that walker. Bless his heart!🙄

God is taking care of his legs....!! walking around acting innocent will not get you a pass with GOD!

He’s a maggot.

I wanna take his walker and beat the shit out of him with it 😊

Wha? No broken leg and crutches? Me'thinks justice could be provided if Harvey spend 30 minutes in a room with all his alleged victims. A Spanish doubloon on his odds....

LockHimUp

total bs!

K11Marc

Oh no! Look at the poor frail old man that wasn't old or frail when he assaulted women......🙄 Does he really think anyone is buying this BS

Why do these famous people suddenly become frail and need mobility assistance right before their trial starts?!?! Like we don’t notice the ploy 🤔

I wd love it if someone kicked that walker out from under him...

To the next school shooter, spare your classmates. There's plenty of fatter prey to choose from out there.

someone with a walker does not walk perfectly fine upstairs. Just saying.

Pig need to be executed

Lock this guy up already!

According to Obama, this guy deserves an award. Are U agreed with him or against it ? be honest 😀

Just curious did he have a cane and walker before trial?

Doesn’t he know this act didn’t work for Cosby

Weinstein understands that no prop including a walker will provide him with any kind of sympathy from anyone

a spider on a hot stove

This will end up leaving him without a pot to jack off in.

Weinstein is a rich Hollywood Democrat. He’s a big time Democrat donor and has been for decades. Sadly, he will get away with these crimes because of that. Democrats are above the law and protected by the media. That’s just how it is. I’m sorry to say but just watch and see.

Are we meant to feel sorry for him using a walker? Bet he walks fine when not in public

Was there any physical evidence of these crimes or just all word of mouth?

I don’t believe he needs that friggin’ walker!

This shouldn't take long.

Harvey was known to be a womanizer and the Starlets knew it just as well as I did. The only difference was that I was not a starlet. There were always 'Fresh Panties' for Harvey.

Hopes it’s swift, guilty, and off to prison, with his fake walker

Jury, please say Guilty!!

Harvey Weinstein rape case may turn on history of prior 'bad acts'A Manhattan jury's verdict in the sexual assault trial of former Hollywood ... I think it's going to be hilarious when he 'gets off'. Being a sex deviant isn't a crime. What should be a crime, is these women 'getting a head' by having sex w him, then regretting it, & bringing charges AFTER they made their $$. Y'ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR MAKING THIS MAN APPEAR TO BE UNHEALTHY, BEFORE THIS CASE HE LOOKED PRETTY HEALTHY TO ME, NOW? OH WAIT I SEE HOW YOUR PLAYING IT! Crimes like this are everyday by the jewish Hollywood elite...none of them believe the law applies to them...Hollywood is loaded with proof of their evil crimes...they should fry this bastard after they cut his thing off
