Statute of limitations are put to encourage people to come forward early when evidence is fresh, something vital to get a criminal conviction.
Exactly
They did!
@@Pristeep_Tejasno they did not
@@Pristeep_Tejas not to hr or higher ups! To the police!
Statute of limitations are put to encourage people to come forward early when evidence is fresh, something vital to get a criminal conviction.SPACEMEN, vital to a conviction? irrelevant to a conviction!!!!!! when for instance yours truly dragged herself to the police..minutes after the assault on me...well, an hour or so, cause i was physically hurt....right from the beginning i got the impression nb took me all that seriously...later in the trial...everybody seemed to sympathise with my poor aggressor..and he got convicted of having to pay 150.-'
'encourage people to come forward ', my arse!
Noticed he stepped on the curb fine then goes back into faking it.
Like Cosby with that sudden “blindness” and damn cane
Exactly. When he came out he looked like he was able to walk fine
When every single move and word you do or say is scrutinise microscopically then you will without doubt have many people from the masses/ “sofa detectives” claim that that certain slip of the tongue or putting your right foot before left foot etc , unfortunately it’s peoples nature and always has been, and if it’s a matter of popularity than simply showing any concern about the possibility of any innocence from the defendants , and people can even and often even show you some anger for just checking everything that has been said so far , 😏
Same
That defence lawyer was disgusting!
The law doesn't care about emotions and nor should it.
Ok weinstein
You sneak the phone In through your butt Harvey?
@@mariatanya3533 And there are the emotions. Boo Hoo
💯 agree
@@mariatanya3533 you r-ped me 40 years ago. you have to go jail now, because i say so.
The "me too" movement suddenly became a thing of the past when that lady accused Biden
The „me too“ movement was not about party. If that movement leads to some kind of change in the laws, that is legitimate. However, Due Process is the law and is meant to give each individual his/her right of a fair defense. This must be upheld for everyone‘s sake.
Ssshhhh you’re saying the quiet part out loud lol
THE FIRST WOMAN GOT PAID A SHED LOAD OF CASH AND THEN SIGHED AN NDA WHY DID SHE NOT REFUSED THAT ?
Greed over self safety
.. money 💰
What the caps
Lock??
well maybe she thought that he would never get in trouble
@@idorus doesn't justify taking their R*ape money
how is she not embarrassed that she signed NDA which means she got a good amount of money ... and you knew if it happened to you that it happens to other woman
Why can’t he ask that question? This may have stopped him.
@@bunjijumper5345 when did i say that he shouldn't ask that question? .. i'm happy he asked it ... what i'm saying is that Weinstein could've been stopped 20 years ago if this woman didn't take his money to not tell people what he did
@@MitchConnor91 I was trying to be supportive of what you said, I apologize that it apparently came across opposite. As you said people like her could have exposed him, yet they took millions and didn’t care. Gwyneth Paltrow is the biggest one, he got her an Oscar she didn’t deserve, Fernanda Montenegro deserved it for Central Station!
@@bunjijumper5345 lol yeah i was thinking how the hell does someone not get my comment lol ... but yeah it's plenty of women actors.. they don't want to come out and say it because than that means they consented to it to get a job , that's a sign of a prosty
I'm just grateful things have changed. I'm speaking as a person that was in Hollywood in the 80's. I was NOT in the movie/TV business but Sexual advancements were rampant. It's like it was an expectation!
I am sooooooo grateful that I never acquiesced to any of them.
Statute of limitations are for protecting the innocent. You can't properly defend yourself after a lot of time goes by.
What a disgrace to NYC. When it comes to Trump it's ok to throw all American legal and political norms out the window, but when it comes to an actual garbage person who happens to have a lot friends on the left side of the aisle, we have to respect the process though the heavens may fall. Disgusting.
It's hilarious that you think Dump isn't a garbage person. 🤣
How do you know Harvey is guilty?
@@dustymuniz Can't use a more apt description of HW, the comment would probably get automatically deleted.
@@DavidThomas-me6pi Same way I know you aren't worth talking to...common sense.
@@dustymuniz It shows how easily you are scammed that you think he is.
so, she took money; basically she agreed to be abused as long as she gets paid; don't see a crime here; it is just a services-money relationship; she can tell anything at this point how she was prevented from justice, but that is BS!
like all me-too from the entertainment business; they all knew from the begging what they will have to do and they all were eager to do that back then to get the money they have now
The “consent form” is an actual Chappelle show skit 😂
That's exactly what came to mind when they brought up consent..... " And check here for anal ✅." 🤣
They’ve taken away the statute of limitations in Trump’s NY case. That’s a huge problem.
First thing I thought of too.
Yeah weird how that works.
I’ve dealt with SA and I still think that the statute of limitations is so important! You can’t just take that away.
Except for the fact that they didn't, his criminal behavior in NY goes back to at least the 1970s... and that's a failure of the state of New York for looking the other way for decades.
@@bcbeasters You totally miss the whole point of the charges. It is never illegal to pay hush Monet. The charge against him at the state level which is a misdemeanor at best is that his accountant entered it under a legal expense because the check was written to and through a lawyer. Then Bragg tagged on a federal offense and elevated it to a felony by saying it was a campaign money expenditure in order to sway an election. Clinton did the same thing. All previous state DA’s, the federal DOJ and other legal analysts all declined to prosecute because there is no crime here.
If the women signed an NDA or didn’t speak up, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. She should be ashamed of downplay. What happened to these women?
I agree that you should put people like this in jail, but i don't agree with living your life for years without saying anything and then start accusing after a decade. Look at him, he's barely walking, it's way too late for him to pay for anything. And you don't go to your other bosses if you get graped, you go to the police. It's pretty fishy if you ask me
True. But it was different back in the day. I'm glad things are different.
I work in Correctional healthcare. Barely walking? The walker is a popular prop. Next week, he'll be jogging.
@@TheMomselocI agree, I think the walker is a prop, he is Hollywood after all.
That’s true but in this particular incident the woman explains that she and another woman were coerced into sign an NDA and were silenced for 20 years; therefor whenever they tried to go to middle management, senior management, Miriamax HR, lawyers and police- they were ignored. So they unfortunately had to wait. There definitely needs to be proper due process however and law reform.
The Bible teaches to go to the person with two witnesses and apprehend, then take action .
I speak only for myself when I say I am not comfortable telling any victim what I think her or his timeline for healing should be.
He had no criminal background cause he was never held accountable. He had been the worst kind of criminal for decades.
👌 He is disgusting
Exactly.
What are his crimes
If I were in the dating scene still. I'd be carrying consent forms for everyone to sign. It's just too dangerous out there. I'd want to protect myself and the person involved. Everything open.
Everyone deserves a fair trial. Till that's done nothing should matter. Sge is doing her job as she should.
People sign NDAs willingly. If you don't like it, you can walk away.
an NDA should have no meaning when it comes to criminal behaviour
When was this debate held at the time "me too" dictated that an accused was guilty and 'cancelled' upon accusation and not conviction by a court of law.
Jeff Garlin lookin ROUGH
Some were willing participants. How do these women sleep at night. It’s unfathomable!
Esther made a very good point which was not addressed. She said "what is the ideal conviction rate?". Because as soon as you assign a number (3.1%) the argument of low conviction rate falls apart. If 2.5 percent of cases where legitimate and 97.5 (0.6/3.1) percent were false accusations, you're now imprisoning innocent men to reach some quota. If 10 percent of cases where legitimate, now sex offenders get away with their crimes. This is why using the argument of low conviction rate is incorrect. There is an assumption that every accuser (or most of them) were truthful.
I’m sorry but why is Piers Morgan asking in a caring sympathetic manner, how HW is doing? And that to his personal attorney?
those women wanted to sleep their way to the top, thats why they worked for him, not guilty!
Due process simply means "fundamental fairness." This woman on the panel just said "is due process really the way to go?" OMG! And there lies the crux of the metoo movement. She is actually suggesting that fairness is not the way to go.
there is a difference between characters witnesses and bringing in other people unrelated to the case to provide testimony that can't be substantiated or proven. It's obvious that now the prosecutor will go hunting for everyone that has a bad perspective of that person and put them on the stand and taint their image in front of the jury. This goes against due process and having a fair trial.
Avas point about character witnesses is completely incorrect. Character witnesses are ONLY ALLOWED if the DEFENSE brings up the character of their client.
Also, NDAs dont cover criminal acts and never have
Signing a contract will now become a trend after this show.
Piers is losing his mojo - he forgot to ask that lawyer if she condemns rape
Piers has a problem with rape not genocide and ethnic cleansing.
😂
Haha.
Pierce Morgan to his wife: do you condemn my two incher?
**tips hat**
😂😂😂😂😂
I estimate that Piers has an erect penis that is around 6 inches. I know that there is no correlation between height and penis size, but sometimes you can tell when tall men have above-average penis sizes...Piers is around 5'11" nowadays (he may have been 6'1", peak height, decades ago), and he is a white European man...and lots of white men in England have penises that are around 6 inches erect.
@@user-bk9fk2tq2z FED
joke is old bro
Eva (Maybe Ava) my apologies if I have your name incorrect, when you ask the question "is due process the correct way we should be going about this?" Please never serve on a jury or hold a public office.
Money have changed her values
My toddler de transitioned and is a traitor to trans kids
She should get a number then... Many of the pro-"palestinian" protesters are also being paid by Qatar.
Humanity has a moral weakness when it comes to money unfortunately
If Harvey was guilty then he should’ve been given a fair trial and we wouldn’t be having this
Women that lie about being attacked should serve the same amount of time as a guilty man for these crimes. If a woman is SA she deserves justice but so does an innocent man that is set up and wrongfully accused. That’s a start to making a change you can’t believe all women when we all know there are women that are purposefully trying to ruin innocent men.
The incarcerated HW is not likely to treat his lawyer in the same manner that he (allegedly) treated multiple woman in his role as the all powerful movie mogul. Apples and pears!
Coerced to sign nda lol
A contract alone might not be enough but a contract plus body cams for both parties might keep everybody honest
She is a menace to society.
Got a cheeseburger? 🍔
Why does she have to be cute tho
Where was my invite on this one Piers 😂
Yeah, they invited Ava but not you. They must be chicken.
Now that would have been an interesting idea!
Thank god you weren't invited... you would be shaming the rape victims.
Pearly would have eaten these hypocrites woke females and do-called “victims” alive.
Yes, Piers. Why are you scared to invite Pearly?
LMAO… Someone thinks they are important enough to deal with adult issues. Sit back down and let intelligent adults talk. 😂
You might learn something.
I don‘t think it‘s fair to insult the lawyer, even though I don‘t agree with her defending a serial rapist.
Exactly! It’s her job after all
@@kaylinwhite6584 Yes it is. But what a job. I can't imagine what it's like defending people you know to be evil or close to it. Like for example Dershowitz defending Jeffery Epstein. Wonder what it does to your soul?
100 women come up. Time span 30 years. So that would mean about 3 women per year, one in every 4 month.
Considering he is wealthy AF, there are probably 5 gold diggers per day try to get a piece. Getting sex, for him is like getting pizza, why would he rob pizzeria, when he gets pizza for free.
More logical would be to think most of those women are greedy and want to leech some more $ out of him, b/c they spent all they got or they fail the career oportunity or they just hate themselves for having sex with that man. But all that does not mean he never did it to at least one of those girls.
About conviction rate being low, that's is the only thing keeping women going nuts with false accusations. Maybe you not happy when 6/1000 got convicted, but what if most of those 1000 were actually false claims to punish, leech some money, revenge or coutless other reasons women do that for. We all know there is very high rate of false accusations. Besides only ones to blame for low conviction rate are the women that got cought with false claims. Keep it up and you can forget any rape case ever be in favor of victim. When women flood court with false claims, at some point no body takes any of those seriously. It's like, when you call police every day for a crimes that are never there, one day police stop showing up. That same day the crime might actually happen and there is noone to protect you, then you have to blame yourself.
I thought it was uncensored, you cut out sections
There is probably sound or video issues. Thst kind of thing happens all the time when trying to do a show. I watch a podcsster who would have those types of issues and keep it in. Eventually he removed them.
No, I don't think so, I've seen audio issues with other guests and they left it in as well
I think a pattern of behavior is very important in a trial, and of course in real life. If someone has a pattern of behavior of beating up his business partners I would probably decide not to go into business with this guy.
Did P. M. ask the lawyer what she thinks of her rapist client as a woman???
He walks fine and manages to walk up the curb, then slows down pretending to be frail..And seems very suspicious that he pick up the walking frame with no problem,,when if ur frail you should be pushing it as it has wheels at the front..And this lawyer, she is paid handsomely as she has qualms about dissing so many victims of sexual assault...She is not concerned about that its so many many women not just a couple but many, this should be alarming to her, to say the least. I just hope nothing like this happens to her, but if it did would she be preaching the same views??
Is the lawyer actually a she? Look at the neck
Bill Cosby shouldn’t be in jail then according to this lawyer?🤔
He isnt in jail. His case was reversed.
@@junk_rig_sailor1698 What Cosby did was worse.
He's been out at least 2 years now.
Everyone is entitled to a defence , No one called Johnny Depps lawyer a " gender traitor" She was absolutley awesome ! This does smack of double standards , The judge F'ed up ! Not this lawyer, She did her job, Shut up Ava !
Actually they did. Ben Chew and Camille Vasquez made the conscious decision to have Camille cross-examine Amber to avoid any accusations of misogyny even though the questions were based on evidence, but that didn't stop the feminists and the media from labelling Camille as a bully and a gender traitor who just wanted to sleep with Johnny.
what a say Harvey was always respectful with her, he would not try to sexual abuse her what a joke he needs her for his survival.
😂
Um. That’s an understatement.
Piers if the numbers are too low what percentage do you want to see ??
This lawyer is a joke.... Presents very very well which is fooling a lot of people. But if you listen to what she is saying, it's ridiculous. She doesn't live in the real world. Also when asked about the sort of person he is, and then proceeding to talk like he's one of thr greatest people she's ever met.... That tells me everything I need to know about her take. It's about the money for her.... Rotten ethics.
Absolutely agreed. She wasn't forced into being his lawyer, she CHOSE to defend the 100+ rapist . I get that even the most horrific ppl get to be defended in a court room but she personally disgusts me
Im playing devils advocate here, but she is telling her experience with weinstein as a woman, in the exact same way the victims are. They both have financial insentives. Now, harvey is undoubebtly a creep, he absolutely traded sex for hollywood jobs. But that isnt illegal, The key here is, did he genuinely rape someone? A defence lawyer is there too make sure that a prosecutor's case is beyond a reasonable doubt.
@@somebody7070 💯 well said.
Having used a walker, I can tell 100 percent he a big fakey mcheat ..
Prior to mouth sex - can you please sign this 10 page consent form first please? Cheers
Where's Pearl? I'd love to hear her take on this case.
I don’t know!!!!
screw Pearl, she sucks
Why would you sign a NDA 🤔
Weinstein's lawyer is a women that other women should try to emulate.
Is anyone else gonna admit that movies haven't been as good since he is locked up?
Movies suck and will suck for a couple more years because of the lockdowns. Takes two or three years to release a good movie
Man hands!!!!👋✋
Man face
Man neck
Man voice
Lock him up
If he was innocent this would be a crazy turn
Can’t stand Ava who believes she is a cut above everyone else. She is also downright rude! Why do you keep having her on your show. Surely you can find someone better!!
Hello Sandra 👋 How are you doing today?
Convicted on circumstantial evidence. He'll walk, and rightly so. What a dangerous conviction, guilty or not.
That lawyer is a very brave woman. Bravo! Obviously there are so many implications for other men.
Listen If a hundred woman accused me of all types of sexual assault.
You can bet your last dollar I'd be in jail for the rest of my life.
Yea me too me too, oh and me too. Sounds pretty fishy to me. Why would this guy rape anyone. He used to be rich af!
Not true unless you think accused is the same thing as guilty.
What is the definition of terrorism, Maybe the senator from Louisiana can clarify this ?
What an unbelievably beautiful lawyer! Wow!
The contract wont work because a new contract will need to be signed with every new thrust of the hips.
It’s pretty simple let’s bring this all the way down to common sense you stand for something or you don’t if you think Something is wrong there should not be signing anything for some cash and then once that runs out now you want to blow the whistle stand for it or fall anybody that signs paper so they can make money is just as guilty
Can someone PLEASE inform these guests…. His name is pronounced PEERS, NOT PIERCE!
Ava’s wrong - character evidence is not admissible at the evidentiary stage of a criminal trial (except in very narrow circumstances when showing a pattern of prior convictions of committing the same crime in the exact same way). Character evidence is otherwise used only at sentencing.
Facts character witnesses are only used in mitigating/aggravating factors. Because there are aggravating which increase and mitigating which decrease prison time
What's the difference between sin and rap = force and sin= cheating. Sample answer.
The contract won’t even work because women will sign them and say they changed there minds before the act happened
its so easy to solve this issue of sexual offences accusations, weather they are true or false or wether the accused is guilty or not - ( in cases where their is no evidence or would not be evidence such as historic cases and only in these cases what should happen is the country where the accusations are made should have the best lie detector machines and tests, government approved and if the person making the accusation fails and fails miserably their case should be deemed insufficent evidence to take to trial and also if the accused passes the test which should be government approved but if it comes back that the accuser s telling the truth by a mile and the accused is lying by a mile then that particular case should be put in front of a special jury consisting of 12 independent judges who are specialists in these cases. and the issue would be solved.
She is a Great Lawyer' and she should have a movie made from her story defending Harvey. Donna could play herself wonderfully.
The white girl is so far left she is falling off the cliff
Character witnesses are not allowed in criminal trials! Even in past cases used in new cases!
The reason for this NDA is because the morals in our country, and many other countries , have gone to shit. The African women on your show is a queen. Very beautiful and smart!

Oh he caught some rabbits...
🐰👋🏾
She signed an NDA? what a way to lose all credibility
Well done on the reply's Mr's Chù & brìèf 😊
The “consent form” that you speak of is called a “MARRIAGE LICENSE” !!! There would be so many less rape incidents if ppl still believed in MARRIAGE .
I’m not a fan of Weinstein’s lawyer. I have had friends that have been R’d One was by two strangers, she was dragged off the street in Liverpool back in 1980 by 2 young men in broad daylight at around 2pm near the train station. Blindfolded and gagged. They took her to their apartment in Cabramatta and rang up two more of their friends to come over. She was very clever and even though we didn’t have DNA back then, she spat her blood on the carpet.
They didn’t blindfold her when they took her to Cabramatta train station and gave her $2 so she could get home. She rang the police and took them straight back there. They all got 12 years in Long Bay which would’ve been very tough for not only their crime on a 14yr old child but they were refugees from Vietnam.
My other friend was SA’d by a family member as a young teen and never told any of us until later in life when she was out of the situation. She had turned to addictions of sorts, until she finally went to the Police and told them what happened. He was charged and at a Magistrate only trial was found guilty. He didn’t get jail time, only probation but he did have to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his Rock spider life!
There are others sadly but they all react differently. We all want them to go to the police straight away to stop the predators and for them to get justice. One of my other friends, who was drugged while we were being typical naughty teens and drinking at a party at age 14yrs, was kidnapped and SA’d. The people responsible dumped her back at a relatives front lawn in the early hours of the morning. Her parents, protecting her, didn’t follow up even though I’d realised who had taken her. The police had got to the house and missed finding her there by minutes. They’d already dropped her off.
Please don’t judge women for not reporting R’s or SA’s straight away. You’re not in their shoes and the turmoil of emotions they go through is unimaginable. ❤️
Yeah, go tell that to the woman who says women have all the power now and many of them are even perpetrators. She is indeed a traitor, sold her soul to the monster that made 100+ women suffer forever .
I think if it goes over 5 years without reporting it let it go
That's a lawyer 😂
Has Adam's apple notice it.
How can not dotting an i or crossing a t mean you are miss trialled. It makes OJ look like a saint! But if an innocent person is convicted wrongly they of course should get a new trial. Problem is that those without the funds to do so can not. Does Donna make any person she finds attractive sign a contract before sex?
If you knew he was capable of this then you knew he likely did it to others.
If you’re going to take money, likely from the NDA, then your desire to stop it happening to others isn’t more than your own situation…. Fair enough absolutely but don’t jump on now to the train where many women either refused to take money or just couldn’t
His lawyer never had "one negative interaction" with the man who knew that she was the only person that might possibly keep him out of jail. He must be innocent! A data point of one.
With so many willing people to consent to sex I find it hard that anyone would get involved with a person (not really looking like suitable for Playboy of the Month) that is not willing to agree to sex. But then, that's just me.
Rape is not "getting involved with someone". It's totally different. It's about power.
@@DrStrange1966 Then I guess they have a problem. Sort of like some other politicians I see?
WOW can she victim blame any further? talk about complete lack of insight, inform yourself of how people respond to trauma. Absolutely pathetic
Poor girls who had to do stuff to get stuff. Just because you are a consenting adult doesn't mean its not disgusting.
Its the exact same story as 100 years ago in Hollywood
The lawyer is a biological man…?
Isn’t Harvey in jail for both the New York and California for these crimes.
Harvey Weinstein has the right to defend himself.
Hhhmmm.. ☕️
Where the women he raped able to defend themselves?
Re-trial? I mean, it should be mandatory to ignore all the previous witnesses. We cannot play with people’s lives like this. You are hired to defend get it right the first and only thing.
16.00 power shift. Of course the lawyer had a totally different experience. He needed her more than she needed him. Sickening that she would justify his behaviour. Her suggestion of a consent contract would be no better than an NDA.
Previous cases are always taken into account in a courtroom. You can't hide behind the facts by saying " That was years ago", I only want to deal with the latest crimes. If you are a recidivist, then that should be known, and all your crimes should bear on the crime in front of you. It shows who and what you are.
The way things are these days nothing surprises me. Maybe surprised that its not worse, but stay tuned right?
The Chinese secretary got paid!
Did he ask her to condemn Hamas?
why do my comments keep getting removed

They didn't overturn the convictions for *R Kelly and Bill Cosby!* Wonder why?
