a key witness against Harvey Weinstein
is speaking out today it was just a huge
relief really it was a huge relief that
the jury got it
most rapists go walk so so I didn't know
which way it would go
former production assistant Miriam Haley
told CBS this morning
the landmark verdict is a game changer
for women where being educated about the
reality of sexual assaults and sexual
assault victims 11 other accusers who
call themselves Silence breakers spoke
out on the steps of City Hall in Los
Angeles where Weinstein still faces
criminal charges they were led by
actress Rosanna Arquette I want you to
take this in it is a historic shift that
I never thought I would see in my
lifetime
Weinstein woke up this morning in a
hospital bed not Jail he was taken to
Bellevue Hospital after the verdict
suffering from heart palpitations and
high blood pressure his defense team
visited him there today I was pleasantly
surprised that he was in pretty good
spirits
he was energized and somewhat
motivational for the whole team once
he's discharged Weinstein is expected to
be transferred to a medical unit at New
York's notorious prison on Rikers Island
a key figure in Weinstein's trial is
also in the hospital today
after being run down by a car dr. Barr
Brazil a forensic psychiatrist testified
about why Weinstein's victims stayed
friendly with him even after he raped
them doctors Eve's testimony was
considered crucial to the jury reaching
a guilty verdict the website law and
crime reported dr. zips accident may be
seen as suspicious by some given the
timing Weinstein was a major donor to
the Democratic Party
Stephen Fabian is in South Carolina for
tonight's democratic debate seven
Democratic contenders will take the
stage here in Charleston for what
promises to be a contentious debate and
President Trump on a state visit to
India lost no time getting his licks in
and using the Harvey Weinstein verdict
to do so so I was never a fan of Harvey
Weinstein as you know in fact he said he
was going to work hard to defeat me in
the election how did that work out
