Rotunno had no right in stating the jury felt obligated to return some kind of guilty verdict. That is a perversion of law and an insult to the jury. She needs to apologize to every woman Weinstein porked and the jury, too.
THERE IS NOT A WOMAN IN WEINSTEIN'S LIFE THAT PROVIDED PERMISSION FOR SEX, except, the woman with the wedding band.
Harvey Weinstein's office was a trap by any woman willing to cross the door jam into it. When considering the power he had within the move making industry, any woman seeking to be a star from the time she was a little girl to the time she completed acting classes NEVER in their wildest imagination believed they had to have sex with a total stranger in order to have a successful career!
Harvey Weinstein held their careers in his simple presence and that presence better be the best any actress could put forward, otherwise, sell the car, house and jewelry because that woman's acting reputation would be scarred forever. There is no excuse to believe that man was innocent of ANYTHING! He was, at the time, one of the most successful producers in the industry and in TOTAL cultural silence, he laid women he inducted as actresses. Who were they going to turn to? Their mothers? Their boyfriends? Their leading man? Who! No one. They were abandoned to the demands of Harvey Weinstein, his power and money.
THE LAW IS COMPLETELY INADEQUATE IN PROTECTING WOMEN FROM PREDATION WHEN IT COMES TO THE POWERFUL. There is no excuse to put the blame anywhere else EXCEPT THE WEAKNESS IN THE LAW BY DESIGN!

...Rotunno (click here) admitted that she was surprised by the verdict and felt it was brought about partly because the jury felt they couldn't leave without a guilty verdict....
