Needless to say, content warning on this one:
And, apparently, he’s not getting charged for everything he’s been accused of:

The problem with such a gambit is that other people, including those on the jury, might find themselves saying “A walker, huh? I never even saw him with a cane before…”Report

I knew Harvey Weinstein in college — he was a sleazebag back then — and kept some track of him, but I knew nothing about the state of his health in recent years. Though a fat slob like that is very likely, at his age, to have problems. So I was “surprised” to see him with a walker, though only in the sense that, if asked about his health a week earlier, I would have had no basis to say anything. His using a walker wouldn’t strike me as a ploy, even though I have a decades-old predisposition to think the worst of him. Doesn’t mean it isn’t a ploy, but as the doctors tell the medical students, “when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.”Report
If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, etc…
