Gloria Allred said in court today she is concerned about an 'unjust sentence' for Harvey Weinstein, urging a judge to allow more women to provide victim impact statements. The former producer and convicted rapist will be sentenced next week.
that all women involved in the case, regardless of the verdict, should be able to speak at the sentencing to let their voice be heard and provide relevant information for the court to consider. At the Thursday hearing, prosecutors Paul Thompson and Marlene Martinez asked the judge to hear from Allred in court.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for the court to consider those alleged crimes,” Judge Lench said, stating that the other women who testified in the trial are not “germane to the issues” that will be considered at the sentencing. “I heard the trial,” she said. “I know the issues.” “I feel very strongly about victim’s rights,” Allred said at the courthouse. “I believe that everything that they would say would be relevant to the issue of the sentence that Mr. Weinstein should receive.”
