Heh. The Partridge Family did it too, when Harry Morgan pretended to have whiplash! Danny and Reuben followed Harry around trying to get him to stoop and pick up money. That scene was hilarious.
Who was that rich guy who had Alzheimer's during his trial and recovered soon after?
I can't REMEMBER either, Jehannum. I suppose it could have been either one of us then.
Heh, that would be Ernest Saunders, the story of whose remarkable recovery can be found by googling “Guinness trial”. That’s the drinks group, not the eminent ac-tor.
Saw this the other day on news, the 1st thing I thought was that old mafioso trick with the respirator piped on wheelchair yep, Weinstein's lawyers gonna cry brutality while he's been detained causing adverse-health, you can bet his team gonna dig-out some dirt on his victims the lives that stars lead constant party-animals etc.. those particulars will get twisted.
According to the usual "news sources" (meaning, take their reliability as thou wilt) Weinstein's defense team is going to enter into evidence e-mail communications between him and his accusers. I've been thinking that it just might be the one thing that sways this whole proceeding. If it is demonstrated that some of the accusers are not quite as innocent as we had hoped they are (and that is a BIG if), then that would blow the whole thing sky-high. It would really put to the test the concept of due process and the spirit of an unbiased trial, separate from the court of public opinion.
But even if he was, by some measure, found to be less guilty than it seems, I would still find him odious and repulsive.

I wonder how the world would react to that--the discovery that some of the plaintiffs exploited Weinstein for their own advancement. The social media universe would explode at the irony. Would the public be able to objectively separate their disgust for the man from their lawful obligation to judge him fairly on the facts?
To be sure, his are not the actions of an innocent man. But all the defense has to establish is reasonable doubt to throw a wooden clog into the machinery.

Make no mistake while Weinstein's not guilty he's still a powerful pest, I've said before this hierarchy that use too finance his movies, his finances protect him aren't going too hang-him, these guys are billionaires who will investigate every-victims weaknesses this will be dirty lining, (i knew that from day one) like i said at some point there cry-out brutality.
