Yeah. And Megan talking to you as a friend, the hardest part right now, honestly, is my kids. Like I have a three-year-old and an eight-year-old and I barely, I barely seen them. And like, it's my, right after his like opening day of baseball on Saturday. So I'll be there for two hours. And then I come back to the office and his face just drops. He's like, daddy, you got to go to work again.
But you have someone's life in their hands. And if Harvey gets convicted, he's going to die in prison. Theory of Amen, end of story. And that's an enormous amount of pressure. It's going to be a five, six week thing. And I will tell you this, I'll give you guys a little preview.
I am seriously, this isn't Humphrey, seriously contemplating putting him on the stand because it's basically, it's a, he said, she said, there is no other evidence. There's no medical evidence. There's no video. There's it's just their word. And I think in today's day and age, I think a jury wants to say, well, Look, if you didn't do it, guy, come up here and tell us you didn't do it.
And Mark will tell you, it's the most excruciating decision the Vets has to make. Worst. We're probably going to Rikers Island this weekend to start prepping him just so that we know we're ready to go if he needs to take the stand.
But like can't be the goal when it's Harvey. But isn't the goal, Arthur, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the goal... You're not going to love this guy. I can see that up front. This is not somebody you want marrying your daughter. But he did not commit sexual crimes against these women. These women said yes. These women went along with it. They had career aspirations.
They didn't make clear to him that they were unwilling participants. Only after the fact, when the Me Too era came along, was it suddenly I was a crime victim in that moment.
He's good, Arthur. You should bring him in. Almost decades later when the complaint's made, and it's no secret because it's out there in the public, they all received a lot of money, like hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, you know, look, we have something to work with.
If this was not Harvey Weinstein, if this was Harvey Jones, and a jury came in and knew nothing about this, I would be very confident. Right now, Mr. Igloche, the two words I would love to hear is hung jury or mistrial. at the end of the case because they said the preconceived notions that people have going into that courtroom is really the Mount Everest we have to climb.
Yeah, there's no presumption of innocence.
I know, but I have to say, I think, maybe I'm the exception, but Even though I've listened to countless testimonials by women who said that they were the victims of a Me Too situation, I think I could go in there and say, but I will judge this case based on the evidence that is put before me and figure out whether in these incidents brought to me, he committed a crime.
I really think I could do it. I think my fellow New Yorkers can do it. I mean, New Yorkers are tough as balls. They're smart.
I think you could do it. But a Manhattan jury pool where Donald Trump got 17% of the vote. I mean, I just think there's just so inclined.
But it's not a Republican Democrat thing. Republicans don't like sexual crimes.
I know, but they're very much they're all about believe all women. They're all about the attorney general, Letitia James. Believe all women. Believe all women. They lean heavily in that direction.
Well, I think I think if you're worried about believe all women, Arthur, I would say that you don't need my advice to try a case. But I mean, you might want to hit that one right on the head and say, I understand that that's that's the line. And maybe maybe you even do believe maybe you believe that he crossed lines. He was inappropriate. You know, you don't like him.
But that's a big, big, big cry away from far cry from he he committed rape. He committed sexual assault. And, you know, it's either that or it's you had consensual partners who maybe were uncomfortable but didn't express it. You had people who were there, maybe they did feel duress, but without telling him until 20 years later, how was he to know?
I mean, what makes it a crime is when you don't have the consent of the other woman. Like, one of the women, as I understand it, Arthur, it's been a while, but she's alleging that he performed, like, forcible oral sex on her. Right. I think you could definitely fairly get into how does that happen, right? How can that be done in a forcible, non-consensual way?
Or is it more likely it happened where the man thought he did have permission and learned later that the woman was there against her will?
I'm getting some free legal advice here. How about this one, Megan? Because I really think this is probably accurate. They were kind of friends with benefits. He was getting something from them and they were going to Oscar parties and they were going to the Cannes Film Festival and they were having access to things that they would never have access to. These were not these caliber of people.
And in return, he had a nice 15 minutes in the bedroom with them.
