Herman on Weinstein’s Defense: ‘It’s an Extremely Defensible and Winnable Case’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HERMAN: “I don’t know if it can help them, Fred. Again, only two charges, two women in the New York case and all the other jurisdictions, there’s no other charges brought. L.A. Has eight open cases but they haven’t filed charges. London is investigating him. They haven’t filed anything. Only New York, and they’ve brought two, in my opinion, flimsy cases. Now, it’s morally reprehensible the way he conducted himself. Personally I believe that, but from a defense perspective, Fred, it’s an extremely defensible and winnable case for Harvey Weinstein. It’s about quid pro quo. It’s about consent and nonconsent. If the rules of the game were you play around with me and I’ll enhance your career and I’ll make you a movie star, you have a choice. The door is here. You can walk out the door and forget about it or if you play, it’s on consent, Fred, and you need nonconsent to have rape.”
