The Los Angeles jury who convicted Harvey Weinstein of rape on Thursday sentenced him to 16 years to life in prison. Weinstein’s lawyer, Juda Engelmayer, told Fox News Digital that the sentence was “harsh” given Weinstein’s age, health, and the circumstances of his conviction in Los Angeles, where the sole accusation came from a person who lied, and where the court and the prosecution knew about and tolerated this. “Justice does not look like a mob pouring on someone they…
