Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F Weinstein was found guilty in a trial in New York last month, a dramatic fall from grace for one of Hollywood's most powerful figures. His lawyers had appealed for leniency, saying even the minimum sentence of five years could be a "life sentence". But prosecutors argued Weinstein should be given the maximum possible sentence given his "lifetime of abuse" towards women and "lack of remorse" for his actions. Weinstein addressed the court for the first time on Wednesday, saying he had "deep remorse" but described him and other men as "totally confused" by events in comments seen as critical to the #MeToo movement.
