Don Lemon: Harvey Weinstein Deserves a Fair Trial — It’s Another Test for #MeToo

‘Donald Trump is facing the music in a courtroom in New York City’

EXCERPT:

LEMON: "I had this question last night at the TIME100. You can't win with this, because he’s guilty, but still, in Los Angeles, he’s been proven guilty, he’s not going to get out of prison, but there were some issues with the trial, right, the judge did apparently allow some testimony in that was prejudicial instead of probative. All right, so — but I feel awful for the victims, but I think that just like anyone else -- Donald Trump is facing the music in a courtroom in New York City, Harvey Weinstein — he deserves a fair trial. Harvey Weinstein, whether you think he’s a monster or not, he deserves a fair trial. That is our legal system. Now, is it a setback — what I was asked last night — is it a setback for the #MeToo movement? No, I don’t think it’s a setback. I don’t think women will allow that to happen. I just think it’s another test. But, you know, under our legal system, you you’re supposed to get a fair trial and everyone is supposed to be treated equally."
