Lawyers for Harvey Weinstein argued on Monday that he deserved mercy for his already ’historic fall from grace’ and serious health issues. Weinstein’s defense team called on the court to sentence him to only five years behind bars. ’He has lost his means to earn a living. Simply put, his fall from grace has been historic’, the team argued.
He should be sentenced neither harsher nor lighter than what a non-celebrity would be, for the same crime.
