Brace yourselves. Weinstein could wind up walking

The trial of Harvey Weinstein has provided ample evidence that he is a grotesque pig lacking empathy for the many women he preyed upon, but probably not enough to prove he should be convicted as a rapist.

Prepare for an acquittal or a deadlock after the jury goes out Tuesday, because anyone who has sat through the trial can see the prosecution has struggled to prove its case.

If Weinstein does walk, it will be a tragedy for his accusers, who at the very least were degraded by their association with him and have suffered brutal courtroom cross-examination.

The trial of noted pervert Harvey Weinstein is drawing to a close and, from the beginning, I thought we all knew how it would end. The guy is guilty as hell, right? He’ll probably spend the rest of his life in jail. Well… not so fast. Miranda Devine at the New York Post brings up a disturbing possibility. Trials are always unpredictable and in a case like this, most of the alleged crimes are so old that there was essentially no physical evidence available. Everything the prosecutors had to bring to the jury was based entirely on witness/victim testimony. Devine suggests that the case may just be too weak to result in a guilty verdict and Weinstein could still walk free.

What a gross call to let a pig like that walk free.
