Though Weinstein’s team insisted the jury was swayed by preconceived bias and outside narratives. The judge had already instructed the panel to focus strictly on the evidence at hand. Even amid internal conflict. Claims of juror intimidation and emotional outbursts. The guilty verdict on Haley’s assault stood firm. Weinstein, now ailing and confined to a wheelchair in Bellevue Hospital, may still face more time behind bars. But for now, the disgraced titan has been brought down again. This time, by the very system he once seemed immune to.
