Not especially. She's been in the press in the last couple of days upsetting Donna Rotunno and separately denying that her clients are set to sue Weinstein in civil court once the verdict comes in. Other than that, I'm sure she's erring on the side of the judge's wishes not to be too vocal while the jury is deliberating (unlike Rotunno).

Likely a single holdout (or at most two), which is why he was acquitted on the most serious charges.
Judges will generally warn juries facing deadlock not to engage in horse trading of that sort, but it happens all the time.Last edited by ursus arctos; 24-02-2020, 17:11.

They just tried to explain on BBC Radio 5 live why he was found not guilty of Predatory Sexual Assault – it was complicated, relating in some sense to the fact that it needed several of the different convictions all to be guilty, or something like that?Last edited by diggedy derek; 24-02-2020, 17:20.

It requires the defendant to be found guilty of sexual assault in the first degree against at least two different victims, which didn't happen here.
A person is guilty of predatory sexual assault when he or she commits the crime of rape in the first degree, criminal sexual act in the first degree, aggravated sexual abuse in the first degree, or course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree, as defined in this article, and when:
1. In the course of the commission of the crime or the immediate flight therefrom, he or she:
(a) Causes serious physical injury to the victim of such crime; or
(b) Uses or threatens the immediate use of a dangerous instrument; or
2. He or she has engaged in conduct constituting the crime of rape in the first degree, criminal sexual act in the first degree, aggravated sexual abuse in the first degree, or course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree, as defined in this article, against one or more additional persons; or
3. He or she has previously been subjected to a conviction for a felony defined in this article, incest as defined in section 255.25 of this chapter or use of a child in a sexual performance as defined in section 263.05 of this chapter.
Predatory sexual assault is a class A-II felony.Last edited by ursus arctos; 24-02-2020, 17:40.

Which means that he will be in the hospital at Rikers
What a miserable excuse for a.human, even by our debased current standards
