Harvey Weinstein is having a time to find a new legal team ahead of his appeal against sexual assault and rape charges.

The disgraced executive is set to appeal his decision in Los Angeles, but he wants a new legal team to carry it out. There was one problem, no one was interested in working with Weinstein and the date was fast approaching.
Deadline shared some quotes they collected about Los Angeles lawyers who wanted nothing to do with Weinstein or the case. Some of them were kind enough to give advice and others couldn’t contain their disgust.
Jacqueline Sparagna, an associate at Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP is the person who has echoed Weinstein in his appeal of the decision. It’s not known what led to the breakup but Weinstein has 16 years on the line and needs legal representation ASAP.

Deadline reported that while Weinstein was locked up in a Downtown Los Angeles jail, he made daily calls to reach lawyers in the far-flung West Coast legal community. Some of the lawyers commented.
“I wouldn’t go near that mother with a 10-foot pole,” claimed an LA-based attorney.
Another high-profile lawyer found it interesting that he challenged the credibility of the witness. “To question the credibility of the state’s witnesses, you have to offer a compelling counter-narrative. To do that, you need a lawyer who is a great communicator, who sends a message to the jury with their presence,” the Century City lawyer told Deadline.
They continued, “Not to sound like a fossil, but I think he needs to hire a woman,” the man’s lawyer claimed.
For those wondering why he can’t use his other legal team, the case is based in New York City. There, his team is strong, he is represented by, Arthur Aidala, Barry Kamins, retired NY Supreme Court Justice and Diane Fabi Sampson of Aidala Bertuna & Kamins PC.
The team was unsuccessful in the Manhattan 2020 case.

Some of Weinstein’s accusers felt compelled to drop the Jane Doe cover and reveal their identities in order to have greater impact on Weinstein’s actions. Jane Doe #4 reveals herself to be Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The alleged victim spoke publicly about her accusations against Weinstein.
“He tried to ruin my life and the lives of many other women,” she claimed in a written statement read during her day in court. “He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison,” he believes.
Another victim of Jane Doe #2 came forward as Lauren Young. She said that what she hopes is that Weinstein “will take responsibility for what he did to me.”
Jane Doe #5 reveals herself to be Kate Jaggard. He also wanted to give Weinstein a piece of his mind and celebrate that the executive will be behind bars. “In my opinion, the conviction is a victory for all victims of sexual assault.”
For Harvey’s sake, we hope he gets legal representation quickly, it’s proving to be a challenge regardless of how much money he can afford.
