Attorney Douglas Wigdor: Weinstein May Receive a Life Sentence | Amanpour and Company

Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of committing a criminal sex act in the first degree involving one woman and rape in the third degree involving another woman. Although the New York jury acquitted Weinstein on charges of predatory sexual assault, he is now in custody and his team will appeal the convictions. Douglas Wigdor represented one of the so-called “Molineux” witnesses at the Weinstein trial and was in the courtroom when the verdict was announced. He joins the program from outside the court to talk through how all this unfolded and what happens next.

Originally aired on February 24, 2020.
