Harvey Weinstein stunned courtroom with bizarre rant before sentencing
New York | Harvey Weinstein used his final minutes before he was sentenced to portray himself as a martyr in a disjointed rant that led one of his lawyers to try to stop him while an accuser shook her head in disbelief.
"We are going through this crisis right now in our country," Weinstein said on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT), addressing the judge just before he was sentenced to 23 years in prison. "I was the first example, and now there are many men who have been accused of abuse, something I think none of us understood."
