Weinstein deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life. However I'd like to see it done in a way that is above legal reproach which seemingly, is not the case. His lawyer, has highlighted some real issues with the plea deal. Real issues, which are unlikely to pass appellate review. Weinstein is reprehensible, but the judges unabashed hatred of him and his lawyer lead me to believe that this judge somehow screwed up and wants the whole thing to go away. The unfortunate fact is, unless it is done right this case will drag on for years without any closure for Weinstein's victims. As a former prosecutor, the governments response it a bunch of whining and moaning. I'd would have like to have seen a more substantive argument as opposed to bitching. Looks to me as if the government has been backed into a corner. I guess that the kind of prosecutor you get in NJ.
