  1. It’s a complete disgrace. The victims deserve better

  3. Need to follow the rule of law in trials and hearings, you know except for ex presidents, making decisions in the Supreme Court.

  4. “Why didn’t you just report it to the police?”

    Uhh, look at what happens to those women who do, and even go testify in trials.

  5. It’s bad enough Cosby’s got overturned.

    I think the wisest thing said in any Disney movie was in Aladdin. “You’ve heard of the golden rule, haven’t you? He who has the gold makes the rules.”

  6. Doesnt matter what you do or how many people you hurt, ultimately money rules, it’s just that this year it’s right in our face

  7. Harvey is a piece of shit and should rot in jail or be shot. But, trying to understand this from a purely legal perspective. What if you were on trial for robbery, say a 7-Eleven. The only evidence is the store clerk’s account of events. So, the prosecution brings in other store clerks who claim you robbed their stores too. But, these crimes were never reported and there is no other evidence to support these claims. Would this be fair?

  8. Wow… yes, jury can’t hear about all the bad acts a wealthy man perpetrated against women without their consent because they might find him guilty of rape.

  10. It is not “institutional betrayal.” The lawyers should’ve never tried to use witnesses from prior events and the judge should’ve never allowed it. That’s what fucked this case. It’s not about victims or bribes or anything else. He’s still going to rot and die in jail and he can be tried again – correctly – in NY.

  11. Ugh I know this is going to be said so I want to preface.

    Harvey Winestien is absolutely guilty, he deserves to rot in prison and will. It was a mistrial that will be fixed.

    Any rapist should rot in jail.

    Why I’m upset is because these leaders of the metoo movement showed that they can still be vocal, yet have been silent when repeatedly asked to condemn the Hamas raping of Jewish women.

  12. Over zealous prosecution and a fake sense of morality have caused many cases to be overturned. Stick to the facts of the case. We know he’s a scumbag and has assaulted multiple women but the trial is about one incident not every suspected victim.

  13. For which particular case was the trial held? Multiple victims or somone in particular?
    I’m not fammiliar with the details of the case.

  14. A cowardly population will just look the other way while women pay the price.
