We Were Right - Weinstein Case Collapses
The New York Court of Appeals, overturned the Hollywood producer’s conviction for rape and sexual assault. But they only confirmed what we thought when we covered the Harvey Weinstein trial in 2020. On this bonus episode of The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered you’ll hear in more detail why we were right all along. This was mob justice, this was politicized justice. This was the New York district attorney putting politics before the law. Sound familiar? We told you then you may not like Harvey Weinstein, but they’ll use the same tactics to go after you and the ones you love. That’s why we had to call out this miscarriage of justice when we saw it.

Ep. 22 | Harvey Weinstein's Sentencing: 23 Years In Prison
On Wednesday the Harvey Weinstein trial finally came to a close as Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault. Weinstein was convicted last month for sexually assaulting Mimi Haleyi and for raping Jessica Mann. Before today's sentencing, Weinstein was facing up to 29 years in prison. The defense sought a small sentence of only five years and argued that Weinstein would be unable to survive in prison no longer than five years. Additionally, the defense argued that Weinstein had already faced significant financial and personal losses due to the trial. Weinstein will likely serve his sentence in Rikers Island jail in New York.
Listen to this exciting (and final) episode of the Weinstein Trial Unfiltered as Harvey Weinstein is sentenced to prison.

Ep. 21 | The Verdict
Finally - a verdict in the case against Harvey Weinstein. But first there was discussion about a mysterious letter received by the court claiming serious jury misbehavior. Is it true? Was it a prank? Then the jury presented their verdict to the court - Weinstein was found guilty on two counts: criminal sexual assault and rape in the third degree. He was found not guilty of predatory sexual assault and rape in the first degree, the more serious charges. Weinstein was then taken away in handcuffs to prison. He will be sentenced on March 11.

In this special episode of The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered, we recap some of the recent developments as the jury decides on a verdict. The jury has said they are deadlocked on two of the charges. They have been deliberating for almost a week and the judge has sent them back to continue considering a verdict. They gave no indication what their verdict would be in the other three charges. We expect a verdict as soon as this afternoon. In this episode we clarify the complex charges against Weinstein. We also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case and what a possible verdict might look like.

Ep. 19 | The Gag Order
It was supposed to be a quiet day in court but the day opened with a bang with the prosecution accusing the defense of witness tampering and the defense demanding a jury member be removed for bias and lying about their bias.
Then the jury began deliberating and started questioning the judge about his instructions. They also questioned the charges and combination of charges they are being asked to decide on. Has the judge helped tor added to their confusion? There were a lot of accusations flying and the judge put a media gag order on the defense. And then the jury left the room for the second time and we await the verdict.

WOW
once you slow the speed down by a couple notches, I could understand what was being said, despite the rapidfire speech patterns… very interesting to hear verbatim testimony, and of course there’s always two sides to every story… Harvey is a pig… a Genius pig… But a pig notwithstanding…. I also enjoyed the phrase, grown-up girlie talk! and dairy farm religious background repeated over and over…brilliant!
A really unique experience
I’m changing my rating from 3 to 5 stars. Originally I was put off by my perceived insensitivity of the hosts toward the victims. The hosts could put a little more effort into remaining neutral, or at least acting as such, but the more I listen, the more I can understand their hesitations.
The acting is incredible, really, it’s very much as though you’re in the court room experiencing real people having real emotions. I love true crime, and I love listening to cross examination but it’s hard to come by with these big cases.
Thank you for making this podcast, and letting us be flies on the wall in this big and important case!
Bravo to the actors. 👏🏼
Great idea, awful result
As a true crime podcast lover I was so excited about a verbatim trial acted. The acting is indeed wonderful, the commentary however is so biased, I’m not even sure you can call it commentary, more just two buffoons who think they are much smarter than they actually are trying to discredit women or anyone of the prosecution witnesses really, including experts. Ludicrous to even include the word “unfiltered” in the title, it is not just filtered, it’s cherry picked. The fact that they implore folks for five star reviews, and actually refer to bad reviewers as trolls who are ruining their rating shows a stunning lack of self awareness. That comment is why I came here to leave my first one star review, these reviews are not trolls, they are honest and objective, which is more than I can say for this podcast. I actually wondered if Weinstein was somehow funding this or if the Irish attitude and education about sexual assault is straight out of the 1950s. There are a ton of great true crime podcasts out there & new and original ones often, save your time, any other one is better than this work of ignorance.
