Chapter 633: Twenty years in prison
The Los Angeles courtroom is crowded today, not to mention the media reporters and various social organizations that are protesting, and hundreds of victims' families alone have come.
Near the entrance, more than a dozen TV broadcast vans were parked.
In order to meet the needs of the public and the media, wireless communication service providers such as AT&T and Verizon have also sent additional signal vehicles.
The three buses stopped in front of the gate and were immediately caught in the circle of media reporters.
The Mi Rabbit organization, which promised to help the victims, accompanied more than 100 victims into the courtroom, led by Julie and Aniston, who wore fist symbols.
Gavin Newsom, who will take office as California's lieutenant governor next month, accompanied his wife, Jennifer Siebel, off the bus and gave numerous media interviews to show what it takes to be a good husband.
The backstabbing brother Bob Weinstein also came, and he was impassioned in front of the media camera: "I heard that Harvey was in a relationship with some actresses, but I didn't expect him to go so far, people must be responsible for their words and deeds, and he must be severely punished by the law!" ”
Weinstein Pictures has fallen under Bob's control, reversing the Harvey-era approach to focus on the production and distribution of B-grade films.
Georgina Chapman, the ex-wife, didn't say anything when she came to the court.
Martin, Leonardo, and Nicholson came in groups, but without being interviewed, they made their way to the courthouse.
Just when Harvey Weinstein was about to arrive, when the media and crowd were at their highest, a woman suddenly jumped out.
Last time, Meghan Markle grabbed a headline and ate the sweetness.
Therefore, she hired two people to pull banners this time, and also customized cultural shirts, which are more eye-catching.
Two employees pulled up a huge white banner with a large line of bloody letters written on it - Harvey Weinstein is a racist!
Meghan held up the electronic megaphone and complained loudly: "What does it mean that among the many victims of Harvey Weinstein's abuse, there is not a single black person?" Harvey Weinstein discriminates against blacks! ”
The audience was in an uproar, but the cameras of media reporters instantly turned to Meghan.
Anyway, Meghan grabbed the attention again.
Soon, the court hearing began.
Martin, Leonardo, and Nicholson sat in a row, and across the aisle were Julie and Aniston, among others.
The three of them also wore the Rice Rabbit logo on their collars to show their support for the victims.
The impact of the case was so great that the court was heard not only in public, but also broadcast live to the United States through the Internet and television. 、
In the dock, Harvey Weinstein sat there, expressionless.
One witness, including Jennifer Siebel, came on the scene one after another to accuse Harvey.
Leonardo couldn't help it, lowered his voice and said: "Harvey, this guy is really perverted, he actually forced people to lick people......"
Martin's voice was also low: "He deserves to be the spiritual leader of the foot gang." ”
Nicholson thought of the old fellow: "He's more perverted than that guy at Malone!" ”
Martin said: "Actually, he picks up girls according to the regular mode, what kind of woman can't do it? There's no need to force this. ”
Nicholson, the old bastard, shook his head: "It's too tasteless to force." ”
During the trial, Harvey turned his head and swept his gaze across the auditorium, he didn't care about the victims who had exaggerated several times, his ex-wife Georgina didn't care, and even Martin Davis, who guessed that he might be behind the scenes, and his eyes fell on his younger brother Bob.
The kind of person who is closest to you, the person you trust the most, the heart-rending pain after betrayal, can only be experienced by the person concerned.
Harvey's gaze stabbed Bob like a sharp sword.
The little brother who always gave in in the past now holds his head high and looks at him without concessions.
Not only that, but in the ensuing trial, several Weinstein Film executives, including Bob and Harvey's former assistants, testified against Harvey's crimes.
How beautiful the past 20 years were, how miserable Harvey is today.
When Brad Pitt walks onto the witness stand, Harvey's eyes are almost murderous, especially with the non-existent shootings that Pitt accuses him of.
"Nope!" Harvey couldn't hold back any longer, the so-called calm and calm instantly broke the defense, and yelled: "I didn't do it, it's all framed!" Framed! ”
The judge slammed the gavel and shouted for silence.
Nicholson looked at the two little brothers and reminded: "No matter what you do in the future, think about Harvey today, don't fall into such a situation, everyone will come and step on it, and what you don't do will become what you do." ”
Martin nodded: "So, we only engage people, don't be manipulated." ”
Leonardo fully agreed: "Whoever wants to us, let's him first!" ”
Nicholson said in his heart that the two little brothers really understood how to protect themselves.
Self-preservation is never about passive defense, but about taking the initiative!
The trial lasted three days, and on the third day, the court pronounced the verdict in court.
Harvey stood in the dock, holding his head high, maintaining the last dignity of the big guy.
He was not at peace in his heart, and if he was sentenced to life imprisonment, he would break the net and pull all those bastards into the water.
"Defendant Harvey Weinstein was unanimously convicted of unlawful detention, abetment, rape, and attempted murder upon unanimous jury ......"
All camera footage fell on Harvey.
Harvey held the dock table with both hands, supporting his body so that he would not collapse, but his mind was so confused that he could barely hear the outside world.
He heard only the last sentence of what the judge said - twenty years in prison and no parole for the first fifteen years!
Harvey couldn't stand any longer, and sat down in his chair with his face like ashes.
It's not life imprisonment, but it's a terrible time, and there is hope that can still be seen......
The lawsuit involving him is not over, and there are astronomical civil damages.
More than a hundred victims, enough to scrape his bone marrow clean!
Harvey never said anything about it, after all, it was better to be alive than to die.
Besides, once those things are spoken, it is better to die, and in them they have a thousand ways to make life worse than death.
Like the Affleck brothers.
In the auditorium, the victims were excited, and such a verdict meant that their chances of victory in the subsequent civil lawsuit were limitless.
Get rich! I've made a fortune!
Taking advantage of this chaos, Harvey turned to the lawyer and said, "You go and tell those big people that if I am forced to go to the proctology department, I will say anything, I will say anything!" ”
The lawyer didn't react at first.
Harvey reminded again: "Ben Affleck went to the proctology ......"
The lawyer understood: "I'll spread the word." ”
Harvey put a little snack and reached out to touch his fat buttocks, there can't be a loss here!
The trial was over, and everyone except Harvey was satisfied.
As Martin's three bastards walked out, Julie and Aniston followed.
"It's a pleasure." Julie, who was also one of the witnesses, lowered her voice and said to Martin, "Thank you for getting justice for me." ”
Nicholson, the bastard, preemptively answered: "Verbal thanks are the most insincere." ”
Julie was coquettish and spicy, forced Martin to stop, and made a gesture to squat: "Do you want me to perform live, so that you can see how sincere I am." ”
Martin grabbed her: "Don't go crazy. ”
Aniston leaned over and said, "She's not crazy, she's complaining." ”
Martin grabbed one with one hand: "Gone, gone." ”
Leonardo, the bastard, reminded a few people and gestured with his eyes: "Look over there, Brad Pitt!" ”
Martin, Julie, Aniston, and Nicholson turned their heads to the left at the same time, and saw Brad Pitt standing alone less than ten meters away, staring at this side in a daze.
Pete saw his wife and girlfriend, all hands on Martin's hands.
Just now, one of them was going to perform the art of tongue and tongue live......
He couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, but thinking of the treatment of the Affleck brothers, he walked forward step by step and came to Martin, Julie, and Aniston.
Aniston pulled out her hand, grabbed Martin's arm tightly, and stood on tiptoe to kiss Martin on the cheek.
Julie tilted her head and smiled at Pete.
Bruce took a step forward, ready to strike.
Nicholson took out his phone, turned on the camera mode, and said, "Leo, it's time to watch the show." ”
Leonardo, who was also a bastard, whispered, "Pete, come on!" Pete, do it! ”
Who would have thought that Pete came to the man and the two women, and he didn't make a move at all, not even noisy, but just quietly glanced at Julie and Aniston, and said, "I wish you happiness in the future." ”
With a resentful ex-wife, this kind of creature is very terrifying, Aniston said directly: "Of course happiness, Martin is much more powerful than you, and every time it makes me scream." ”
Julie chime in with a smirk: "Every time I push behind Martin." ”
Martin is quite helpless, is that interesting?
Pete's face suddenly changed, and he said, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving, you just gave me inspiration, I'm working on a script, this paragraph is perfect for my script?" ”
Julie was surprised: "Will anyone else use you in Hollywood?" ”
Hadn't she and Aniston done enough to trample Pete to death?
Pete will soon participate in the filming of the new film, and said directly: "You are welcome to watch and support the script of the art film in the Sacred Valley. ”
Julie and Aniston laughed at the same time, and they laughed very happily.
Martin said seriously: "I'll buy a disc to support it then." ”
Pete waved his hand and hurried away, and after getting into the car, he found a pen and notebook, and quickly wrote down the inspiration that had just exploded.
A genre of Sacred Valley art based on true events.
A certain man, because he met a wild woman, abandoned his wife who didn't want to have children, and wanted to pursue that woman, but the wild woman threw herself into the arms of another man, and the man also got his wife and with the wild woman and the wife in front of him.
There are also some scenes of female nannies and housekeepers interspersed in the middle, which is perfect!
Pete even thought of the title, it's called "Eternal Love"!
