This documentary was put out shortly before Harvey Weinstein was convicted on two of five counts which may well see him spend the rest of his life behind bars. Actually, he was convicted before he even entered the courtroom, as is clear from some of the material herein.
The "60 Minutes" team interview his lead attorney, Donna Rotunno, who tells it like it is: women - not all women, but some - are attracted to powerful men. They don't care what they look like or how big they are; it's the lifestyle they want.
Donald Trump said much the same thing albeit in very different words on that now notorious "Access Hollywood" tape.
The reader will have to make up his or her own mind about the actual guilt of Weinstein, clearly this is a man who has an appalling attitude to women, but the exculpatory evidence adduced at his trial which the jury ignored demonstrates clearly that some defendants are convicted simply because they are perceived as horrible people, regardless of their misdeeds or lack thereof.
