– Judgment in. In the era of #Metoo reactions, with Excessive male judgment From Washington, DC to Silicon Valley, it could be a retrial for Warfy Winstein as a kind of Litmus test – will his guilty rule rule in 2025?
Yesterday, the jury found a former Hollywood product and a convict A guilty of the higher charge he faced In New York – he acquitted him from the second and failed to reach a judgment in the third.
Three Women – Production Assistant Miriam Hali, former model Kaja Sukola, and Jessica Man, who aspires to become an actress –The claims were brought forward Against Winstein. These were not the most dozens of violations reported in Winstein-there are no celebrities involved-but they were what they eventually brought to justice in 2020 (as he did a trial in Los Angeles, which Winstein appealed).
Winstein’s lawyers relied on the different cultural moment in which we would be to protect the previous fence. as New York Times Put itHis lawyers are betting that “the #Metoo movement has diminished enough to doubt the motives and credibility of his accused.” Lawyer Arthur Edala previously He said Women who accused Winstein “were trying to benefit from (for him)” – because of the effect of #Metoo movement. Winstein continued to deny allegations against him.
While the accusations against Winstein raised the #Metoo movement, it was not all. The movement led to the approval of the adult survivors law, which allowed victims of abuse for years to progress-including musician Cassi, which led to Didi A continuous trial today.
The jury is expected to return to the third charge today. Whatever the result, #Metoo is greater than Winstein – but the movement can still calculate its partial rule as a scalp victory during an enemy political moment.
