He was convicted on Dec. 19 of rape and sexual assault charges in Los Angeles, meaning that he will not go free even if his New York conviction is overturned. But for a lot of observers, Weinstein’s second trial sent an ambiguous or even discouraging message.
Of the four accusers, Jane Doe 1 was the only one who did not seek professional advancement from Weinstein, and she had minimal interaction with him after the assault. “To me, it shows the system worked fairly,” says defense attorney Dmitry Gorin. “They looked at each one independently. They could have said, ‘If there’s smoke, there’s fire. He’s guilty of everything.’ But they meticulously examined the evidence in the case, which was why it took so long.”
That suggested that — at least for some of the jurors — the abundance of accusers was more harmful than helpful to the prosecution’s case.
