The verdict is in. The jury in the Harvey Weinstein rape trial in lower Manhattan has come to a decision after five days of deliberation.
Weinstein was found not guilty on charges 1 and 3, the more serious charges that would have sent him to jail for life. He’s facing up to 25 years on one count, and 4 years on the other. For Weinstein, it’s a victory in the sense that his punishment is severe but not as terrible as it could have been.
