. During his conversation with co-host Gayle King, the juror mentioned he would preferred to have heard from Weinstein himself. During the high profile trial, Weinstein did not take the witness stand to give his own testimony. Drew revealed Weinstein's omission from the stand, though, had no influence on his final decision, nor the rest of the jury.
Disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein enters New York City Criminal Court on February 24, 2020 in New York City. Weinstein was convicted of sexual assault charges.Juror nine added he could only imagine why Weinstein did not take the witness stand,"And I could hypothesize as to the whys that he didn't. You know, that he could lose his shield of representation once he goes up there.
Juror remained relatively tight-lipped throughout the interview otherwise. King asked,"His defense team already made it clear they are going to appeal this verdict. Do you know Harvey Weinstein should go to jail?"The juror mentioned Weinstein being in a prison cell at Rikers Island would be a dangerous place for him,"You know, a man of his age and of his current health, general population at Rikers seems like a dangerous place. That's really all I can say about that.
So...... Juror 9 doesn’t believe in right to council...... awesome. He also let the idea he ‘might be hiding something’ influence the findings. Its the prosecution’s job to show guilt people!!!
