Harvey Weinstein could see the long prison term he is already serving nearly doubled at his California sentencing.
Unless she grants a defense motion for a new trial, Superior Court Judge Lisa B. Lench is scheduled to sentence the 70-year-old Weinstein in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday. She could give him up to 18 years in prison. He has more than 20 years left on his sentence in New York after a 2020 conviction there.
The victim whose dramatic testimony led to the guilty counts may make a statement on the toll the attack has taken on her. The judge will first hear arguments over a defense motion that Weinstein should be given a new trial or have his verdict reduced. Weinstein's lawyers say Lench's rejection of evidence they wanted to use at trial proved prejudicial to him.
The motion says the messages would have shown that both were lying under oath when they testified that they were merely friends and colleagues. The court filing also says that such a relationship would have made it unlikely that Vicedomini would give Weinstein the number of her hotel room, where according to her testimony Weinstein appeared uninvited.
