'MeToo' BACKFIRES! Rapist Harvey Weinstein may walk 解放する/自由な - and, 警告するs MAUREEN CALLAHAN, the desperate マスコミ 暴徒 and rotten US 司法(官) will have done more 損失 to women than this monster ever could

Harvey Weinstein might be #MeToo's biggest miscalculation.

Nearly four years after the 不名誉d movie mogul was 罪人/有罪を宣告するd on two 重罪 counts ― 強姦 and 犯罪の 性の 強襲,強姦 ― New York's highest 法廷,裁判所 has overturned that 判決.

His 犠牲者s are 乱暴/暴力を加えるd, as they should be. But it is the 検察官,検事s and the 裁判官 in this 事例/患者, doubtless swept up in a マスコミ maelstrom that 設立する Weinstein 有罪の before he ever entered that courtroom, who should be the 反対するs of their 激怒(する) and contempt.

It is they ― not the 司法(官)s who 投票(する)d to overturn ― who are 責任がある re-victimizing these women. The overzealous, self-righteous New York prosecutorial team, led by then-DA Cyrus Vance, is to 非難する.

As is the now-retired 裁判官 in this 事例/患者, James M. Burke, who 許すd the 証言 of three women who had nothing to do with Weinstein's 裁判,公判.

Harvey Weinstein might be MeToo's biggest miscalculation.?His victims are outraged, as they should be. But it is the prosecutors and the judge in this case who should be the objects of their rage and contempt.

In overreaching, in trying to overcorrect for a multi-pronged, system-wide 失敗 that 許すd Weinstein to predate for years ― expos?s killed, careers 脅すd, 賄賂s and NDAs 遂行する/発効させるd, cover-ups at his movie studio and 好意s called in with a 確かな New York DA's office ― 井戸/弁護士席, Vance and Burke have done as much 損失 to women as Weinstein ever did.

What a travesty. What an affront to the 勇敢に立ち向かう 犠牲者s who (機の)カム 今後, who finally felt they could go on the 記録,記録的な/記録する, and to the two 原告/提訴人s who 証言するd in New York 法廷,裁判所 against Weinstein.

罪人/有罪を宣告するing him was always going to be difficult. There was no greater discouragement than the 2015 主張 by an Italian model 指名するd Ambra Battilana, who told the NYPD that Weinstein had 強制的に groped her during a 会合 in March of that year.

The department's Special 犠牲者s 分割 opened an 調査, and when Weinstein asked her to 会合,会う again, Battilana wore a wire and caught Weinstein admitting to that 事前の 強襲,強姦.

As her 告訴,告発s made headlines, some 出口s 報告(する)/憶測d that Battilana, then 22, had 受託するd 解放する/自由な tickets to a Broadway show Weinstein produced, …に出席するd at least one sex party thrown by 不名誉d Italian 首相 Silvio Berlusconi, and had once (刑事)被告 a 70-year-old 'sugar daddy' of 性の 強襲,強姦 ― 暗示するing, 基本的に, that Battilana was a slut and a 計画/陰謀ing wannabe who could not be believed.

The NYPD felt 異なって. They 設立する Battilana 極端に 信頼できる. 'We built a 激しく揺する-solid 事例/患者,' Michael Osgood, the former SVD 指揮官, said Thursday.

It never went to 裁判,公判.

Weinstein 報道によれば 接触するd famed former sex 罪,犯罪s 検察官,検事 Linda Fairstein ― who had 公然と wished for a movie を取り引きする the mogul ― and Fairstein then agreed to reach out on Weinstein's に代わって to Martha Bashford, who led the DA's sex 罪,犯罪s bureau.

Vance 最終的に 拒絶する/低下するd to 起訴する, (人命などを)奪う,主張するing there wasn't enough 証拠. Once the 事例/患者 was 解任するd, Battalia took a 解決/入植地 from Weinstein ― which may have seemed 論理(学)の and fair to her, but which only 遡って 与える/捧げるd to the depiction of her as untrustworthy.

That's how untouchable Harvey Weinstein was.

It is they - not the justices who voted to overturn - who are responsible for re-victimizing these women. The overzealous, self-righteous New York prosecutorial team, led by then-DA Cyrus Vance (pictured), is to blame.

Convicting him was always going to be difficult. There was no greater discouragement than the 2015 allegation by an Italian model named Ambra Battilana (pictured), who told the NYPD that Weinstein had forcibly groped her during a meeting in March of that year.

So にもかかわらず the whisper 網状組織 and the 長年の 噂するs and Courtney Love's 悪名高い 警告 to young actresses ― 'If Harvey Weinstein 招待するs you to a 私的な party at the Four Seasons, don't go' she said on the red carpet in 2005 ― nothing ever happened to Harvey.

Until 2017, when the dam finally burst: story after story of attack and 強襲,強姦, and in some 事例/患者s 強姦 ― 申し立てられた/疑わしい by women both famous and not, more than 80 accusers all over the world, their tales remarkably 類似の.

Finally, it seemed, 司法(官) would be done.

We knew how nervous the New York 検察官,検事s must have been. They had only two 原告/提訴人s, Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann, and both women 持続するd consensual 性の 関係s with Weinstein after their 申し立てられた/疑わしい 強姦s.

This was a seemingly insurmountable 障害物, 特に with a 陪審/陪審員団 composed of seven men and five women. But the 起訴 also called Dr. Barbara Ziv, an 専門家 in 強姦 外傷/ショック, who explained that there are no perfect 犠牲者s ― and for those who know their 攻撃者, there is often an 試みる/企てる to 持続する a 関係 ーするために 対処する with the 外傷/ショック and not be 完全に unmoored by it.

This was no small victory, getting a 陪審/陪審員団 to 罪人/有罪を宣告する under these circumstances.

Weinstein's 有罪の 判決 and 非常に長い 刑務所,拘置所 宣告,判決 支えるd the burgeoning #MeToo movement. It illuminated the unique 複雑化s of sex 罪,犯罪s, the gray areas and nuances that often work against 犠牲者s.

But in 許すing the 証言 of other 申し立てられた/疑わしい 犠牲者s who were not part of this 事例/患者, the 裁判官 and 起訴 were only ever going to have a 誤った and short-lived victory.

In this particular moment, with women's reproductive 権利s under 強襲,強姦 as never before, with once-罪人/有罪を宣告するd monsters such as 法案 Cosby 始める,決める 解放する/自由な and other high-profile 違反者/犯罪者s 失業 but still walking around, this 決定/判定勝ち(する) ― a 合法的な vindication of Weinstein that has nothing to do with morality or ありふれた sense ― is a 鎮圧するing blow.

Weinstein reportedly contacted famed former sex crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein (pictured) - who had publicly wished for a movie deal with the mogul - and Fairstein then agreed to reach out on Weinstein's behalf to Martha Bashford, who led the DA's sex crimes bureau.?Vance ultimately declined to prosecute.

If the prospect of a 解放する/自由な Harvey Weinstein is to mean anything ― his lawyers are 控訴,上告ing his LA 有罪の判決 on May 20 ― DAs on both coasts must learn from this before 非難する another famous, powerful man whose 申し立てられた/疑わしい 性の predation and deviance has been making headlines for months now: Sean 'P. Diddy' 徹底的に捜すs, (刑事)被告 of sexually 強襲,強姦ing men 同様に.

If 犠牲者s of sex 罪,犯罪s everywhere, no 事柄 their age or gender, are to get true 司法(官), 裁判官s and 検察官,検事s must do the 深く,強烈に unglamorous work of 適用するing the 法律 while 無視(する)ing the スポットライト and the chicness of a new, 過激な 原因(となる) driven by 理解できる 激怒(する) and emotion.

A Harvey Weinstein can't ever happen again, in more ways than one.
