So, it seems you really feel for Weinstein and Cosby. Why?

Sounds like we are being trolled to me.

Or a severe case of sarcasm

If so, it's not appreciated and in very poor taste

Agreed.

Usually rich and powerful people can do whatever they want and buy their way out of it- good to see it starting to change a little. We need to see even more of it.

Might be hard to keep this steered away from politics and I almost did not post. Seems remarkable to me though on numerous levels.

A remarkable demonstration, methinks, of the perils of hubris. No matter how prominent and rich one happens to be, one should not let that go to one's head.

Also remarkable that someone with that much money and that many lawyers gets that big a sentence. I think that is a good thing for the country. I express no opinion on the merits. An experienced criminal court judge appointed first by Giulliani and then by Bloomberg. I suspect he was not impressed by the walker and disheveled appearance. The judge sat through the trial. I would not second guess him on credibility.

When my wife told me the sentence my first response was, "he'll need that walker when he gets out."
