When his trial opens in the coming days, Harvey Weinstein’s defense team is expected to go on the offensive against the women who have accused him of rape and sexual assault.

Harvey Weinstein and his attorney Donna Rotunno arrive at a Manhattan courthouse to attend jury selection for his trial on rape and sexual assault charges, Friday, Jan. 17, 2020 in New York.

There was similar evidence at Cosby’s trial that he had remained in contact with some of his victims. Ziv testified that victims frequently avoid or delay reporting assaults to police, often keep in contact with the perpetrator, remember more details over time and differ in their emotional responses.

“I think that makes sense. It’s basically a quick education for the jury, and it’s true the jury starts to see things through that lens,” said Laurie Levenson, a criminal law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. Defense attorney Kathleen Bliss took similar aim at Cosby’s accusers in scorching closing arguments in April 2018.

On all of these pictures, he really looks like the Gollum in Lord if the Rings

the man can walk fine without his walker, He will never see prison

Walker Sexist Raper TV Movie Open cast....o nevermind.

Sure. That will be a great look for The Harv. Almost as convincing as those walkers.

1000 woman are all not telling the Truth?

I'm just amazed that these men magically become feeble when they're going to go to prison or are in prison.

Uhm, he's already been on the offensive with those women! That's why he's on trial!

Of course they will, they always do when they’re guilty as sin. They’ve got nothing else to work with and they should be ashamed of themselves.

is Oprah going to protect him?

Obviously hasnt had an OT properly fit his walker, its too low, he has tennis balls on the bottom of the legs tad bit dangerous, does he know you can have proper ends for them? Hes too hunched over, that must be the guilt weighing him down wanker

It's amazing how all these celebrities who get caught all of a sudden develop some physical problem. Put him with Bill Crosby ,he can be his eyes.

Why is it that the guilty us a walker or a wheelchair to gain sympathy? What a joke.

If that’s their strategy, good luck. But it isn’t going to help.

I thought we are ALWAYS supposed to believe the women? Isn't that what the Brett Kavanaugh hearings taught us?

this moral degenerate's chorus line ... nytimes washingtonpost realDonaldTrump

NOT THAT THEY'RE GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY, BUT, SEEMS INCREDULOUS JUST HOW MANY PERSONS SO MANY MANY YEARS LATER SUDDENLY COME OUT OF THE WALLS AGAINST MR. WEINSTEIN & MR. EPSTEIN..LIKE OLD SAYING GOES..MONEY TALKS & BULLSHIT WALKS..GUESS WE’LL SEE JUST HOW MUCH BS THERE REALLY IS.!

Kick his walker away- it’s all for show and then chuck him in America’s hardest jail and throw away the key.

UM; 😐 thats how defense works.... 🤷‍♂️

Wait.....where’s his expensive defense lawyer, Dershowitz?!

In all due respect, a couple of years ago Harvey was still embarking on his 'sofa sex casting' practices. He has young school aged children from his now divorced ex-wife. So using the walker approach to court, ala the Bill Cosby defense, is a bad idea.

He’s pathetic with that walker. I remember Cosby suddenly could barely walk without assistance outside the courthouse too.

Old Harvey is taking the Hollywood pimp limp to a whole new level.

Someone needs to show him how to use that walker correctly. He is going to fall on his face then sue the walker manufacturer...

He should rot in prison.

I want to kick that walker right out of his hands. fake

Soweit,dass du sie erkannt hast.Lass sie sein,wie sie sein wollen,denn sie sind in einem nutzlosenTraum,den sie Leben nennen.Ihre Zeit ist nichts anderes als eine Illusion in der Ewigkeit.Sie sind mit nichts gekommen,sie werden mit nichts gehen,in einem Traum,den sie Leben nennen

Disney is super silent over all their dealings with him...

does he have a mugshot? that should be in every story

Prosecutors likely going with the “she was asking for it” defense.

I wish someone would kick his walker... in a Christian way.

Oh, that walker sure is a nice touch

This man is fucked!

if he's acquitted, just wait and see how fast there is a miracle recovery on walking.

The walker of shame. A classic.

Lol. Let’s see how that turns out.

Not expected to walk.
