Can I still go off on Harvey Weinstein?

Tomorrow, Harvey Weinstein will hear what his final sentence will be. And while Weinstein may feel particularly miserable, he still has enough energy to step on the gas. His army of lawyers is loading the cannons and ready to fire. They are asking the judge for leniency. Because oh dear, don't punish Weinstein too harshly. He would already have been punished.

According to the article in The New York Times, his life has been destroyed. His wife has left him (you go, girl), career down the drain, and so on. But Mr. Weinstein, is it because of the article or because of what is stated in the article? And that is that you behaved like a wild, hungry animal and allegedly raped, assaulted, and manipulated at least 67 women.

How devastated are their lives? How have their careers fared after they stood up to you? How great was their risk of damage? How has what you did to them affected their future love lives?

Isn't it always the case that when you are found guilty of an act, a lot of additional misery comes your way, aside from the prison sentence? If you didn't want any of that, you might have thought a little better in advance about what the possible consequences of your actions would be.

Your sharp lawyer has also played her last card. You would be in such bad shape that even a five-year prison sentence would be equivalent to a death sentence for you, as you wouldn't survive it.

But Mr. Zweinstein, excuse me, Weinstein, what did you think, that we would send you to Hotel Villa Marie in St. Barths to recover from all the misery? A cocktail on the side, someone to massage your sore back? I would say: keep on dreaming. And you know what's funny, that can even happen in prison.
