Look don't put me on Weinstein's side on this at all. I believe he's an evil rapist.
However I think it becomes a lot more complex then you're thinking in the case of beyond reasonable doubt.
While AS probably made some emotion points, his defense lawyers were asking the right questions, why didn't you call the police, submit to a medical exam etc.
At the same time they have emails from victims long after the act saying "I love you big guy, I don't like feeling like a late night booty call"
In the case of he said she said, what she said has to paint a picture at the level of reasonable doubt. The jury can't make assumptions at all, and if they do it just opens up things for mistrials or appeals.
The jury can't look at him and go I can't believe a pock marked balding successful film producer would ever get a girl like that.just like you get can't get jury members that will think, that woman saw a man in a position of power to accelerate her career and he was wealthy as hell so of course she slept with him and then accused him of rape when he dumped her.
Your argument goes both ways.
