The attorney for disgraced Hollywood mogul and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein is now claiming that his client will die in prison if he isn’t released.
As The New York Post reports:
Harvey Weinstein is broke and will likely die if he remains in prison, his lawyer said Friday at a hearing over whether the former powerhouse producer should be freed on bail pending an appeal of his Manhattan rape conviction.
“[Weinstein’s] physical and mental condition has so deteriorated, I do not think it’s an overstatement to say that if he is not released as part of this application, his chances of surviving in prison are rather low,” one of his lawyers, Barry Kamins, told Judge Angela Mazzarelli during a virtual hearing in the Appellate Division First Department.
“The defendant is almost blind, and he’s not ambulatory, and he’s on 20 medications,” said Kamins, adding that Weinstein is wheelchair-bound.
Kamins rattled off his client’s medical conditions — including diabetic retinopathy, coronary artery disease and spinal stenosis, or pressure on his back nerves, which causes a dragging foot.
Seeing as Weinstein is a convicted rapist, would his death in prison truly be a tragedy? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
He will die in prison if not released???? What a brilliant statement!! I’m not convinced that he should be released, and that statement doesn’t change my opinion an iota..
He is probably on the clinton death list.
Choices have consequences. Any farmer will tell you that you reap what you sow. Sow to the wind, reap to the whirlwind.
And that would be a bad thing?
Oh Well.
good riddance!
If he dies,he dies and so be it. This is the punishment for all the crimes he committed against all the women he abused in his life time.
If he can’t do the time, he shouldn’t do the crime.
Now, if we can get Clinton in the cell next to him for JUST as long, and maybe a nearby cell for Obama and Holder, too.
AGREE………
globalist puppet barry soetoro appointed all the correct criminals to the correct positions to protect all their criminals .
I think the judge should ask the victims to be the jury. If there was a procedural mistake maybe but just his health tough.
So what if he dies in prison – – that a$$hole deserves no less.
All the globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet whinenstine money in the world won’t prevent globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet whinestine from death, they all should die in prison .
Not sure less fits. Maybe needs to have more punishment. The bend over type.
Whether he dies in prison or at home, dead is still dead, which is fitting for this turd of human being…
TRUMP 2020
Trump 2024 too, he should get his first 4 years back that the globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet democrat criminal party and globalist puppet rino criminal party and globalist puppet fbi criminal organisation and globalist media stole from America and Trump .
If that’s a valid excuse, half the prisons will be emptied out. Weinstein won’t be the first to die in prison and he won’t be the last. Boo-hoo-hoo.
Broke, hell! If he’s broke, how does he pay that high priced attorney? Let him rot.
Oh, well.
Made your bed, lay in it.
“Lie in it”
HE DESERVES WORSE THAN THAT-
Transfer to HOUSE ARREST. Why burden the taxpayers with his medical expenses??
What medical expenses?
Good.
Hmmmm. Thats too bad!
Let’s all “imagine” that we are libby snow flakes and cry for ourself .
good, all globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet weinstine and globalist puppet hiLIAR and globalist puppet barry soetoro and globalist puppet pa governor wolf etc should die in prison for their crimes .
God Fathers of Hollywood Sex Crimes knew there were consequences – some avoided abd still avoid them, others not so much and havey is now faing 6 more charges he wil be safer in Jail
A lot of criminals die in prison, good luck to weinstein.
He is scum. He received his punishment. You can find sympathy in the dictionary. Animals belong in cages.
There is no mention of his most debilitating ailment … dildosis.
Very short statement SO WHAT.
Why is this even a question? He is where his actions led him and his victims didn’t have the CHOICE. I can’t feel sorry for him … he sure didn’t have any “medical conditions” when he was ravishing those young women.
He is a criminal and should remain in prison. He is in no more danger in prison than in the public from the virus!
agreee
So let me understand this; this POS abused his own body to the point of total destruction, and abused young women’s bodies who depended on him for career help. So we should somehow have pity and let him out. Sure, and let’s have Scott Peterson drive him home.
The world will be a better place without him. Let his friend Hillary follow him, along with Bill, Barack, Eric, Nancy, Chuck, Joe & Hunter, Kamala, ultra-rich Hollywood idiots, and a host of other self-serving, corrupt democrats.
Who cares. Weinstein should rot in jail
NO.
So this bag of crap rapist bully thug thinks ( like all the elite) that the laws of this state and nation don’t apply to him??? And he should be set free because it’s just too much for him??? Ha Ha……..F U Harvey. I hope you live to just one day short of your sentence….so you can live in that rat hole as long as possible.
So because he’s sick, his needs should attended to more than the other prisoners that are going to die in prison? I think not! Just because his crimes were concealed by the Clintons and the obamas and he didn’t get ratted on until he was much older doesn’t give him the right to be treated any different than any other old prisoner. He needs to serve all his time for every “couch” call performed for him for a job. He’s a parasite and should be left in prison.
“For the wages of sin is death . . .”
It is no wonder than decades of abusing women sexually has taken its toll on Weinstein’s health. Unable to live in his bubble of deniability, he is left to contemplate how he wasted his life trashing others. He could not see it until it struck him across his face, so now he is blind. The stress and strain of “violence against the weak” has exhausted his body, so 20 medications are needed. He walked all over “underlings,” trampling them with disdain and disgust, so now he himself cannot walk.
And we are supposed to “feel sorry” for this monster?
As he did to others without mercy, let it be done to him.
Death in prison at the hands of criminal avengers sounds like justice to me.
Thats good to hear, he belongs a good deep sleep
So does anyone have a problem with that? I didn’t think so.
Sounds like a PERSONAL PROBLEM!. DEAL WITH OLD BOY! What goes around comes around.
