Weinstein was found guilty of rape, forced oral copulation and another sexual misconduct count involving a woman known as Jane Doe 1.
The jury was unable to reach a decision on several counts, notably charges involving Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
In this courtroom artist sketch, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a documentary filmmaker and the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, testifies at the trial of Harvey Weinstein in Los Angeles, last month.Lacking any forensic evidence or eyewitness accounts of assaults Weinstein’s accusers said happened from 2005 to 2013, the case hinged heavily on the stories and credibility of the four women at the centre of the charges.
Martinez said in her closing that the women entered Weinstein’s hotel suites or let him into their rooms, with no idea of what awaited them.“Who would suspect that such an entertainment industry titan would be a degenerate rapist?” she said. Defence lawyers said two of the women were entirely lying about their encounters with Weinstein, and that the other two had “100 per cent consensual” sexual interactions that they later reframed.He urged jurors to look past the women’s emotional testimony and focus on the factual evidence.
