Harvey Weinstein's conviction was a “huge win” for survivors of sexual violence and showed progress in the MeToo era, legal analysts say
“While it is disappointing that today’s outcome does not deliver the true, full justice that so many women deserve, Harvey Weinstein will now forever be known as a convicted serial predator,” the group said. “This conviction would not be possible without the testimony of the courageous women and the many women who have spoken out.”
“These are very complicated cases,” Cynthia Alksne, a former federal prosecutor and an MSNBC legal analyst, said. “The fact that the jury was willing to separate the baggage and look at the facts and convict him is a huge win. This guy is going to jail for a long time.” She said the fact that the jury, made up of seven men and five women, convicted Weinstein was a “a radical change.”
