to accusers than in the bill cosby case. distinction i'm seeing, when i did the bill cosby case and covered it for cnn, there were accusers in the courtroom every day. they were en masse. they had come from around the country to be in that courtroom to watch the criminal trial of bill cosby. not so in this criminal trial. in the courtroom it was really made up with media from all over the world. i mean, i sat next to people from england, from japan, from other areas all over the world, and then there was the public gallery which allowed for two to three rows of the public, and they were just people that wanted to see this trial, because this is -- i always think about legal history, and this is a historic trial when it comes to legal history in the future of this country. >> jean casarez, a very important point there about the history. it's a new day, as the prosecutor called it. jean is outside the courthouse. she will stay there. we're going to take a quick break. we just heard from the prosecutor who called this a new day

kind of like bill cosby and everyone's. thinking of getting away with murder this past week was the 55th anniversary of malcolm x.'s assassination one of the most most influential black leaders in american history and if he were alive today i think he'd view everything is going great. think about it 3 out of the 8 main contenders for president are billionaires and all our white i'm sure he'd love it as you may know 3 men were convicted for gunning down malcolm x. in 1965 he gave a speech in new york city but a new netflix series has prompted the new york city district attorney's office to review those convictions and reinvestigate who's actually responsible for killing malcolm x. one of those convicted thomas hagan was caught and confessed but he said the. other 2 had nothing to do with it in fact the other 2 work even after the event that day and the series who killed malcolm x. shows via freedom of information act request that the f.b.i. knew the shooter who actually fired the deadly shot was a man named william bradley a

we saw previously bill cosby, another powerful figure and rape.er powerfulfigure being found guilty. what kind of message does this send to? as the district attorney of new york who brought this case to the court said after the verdict, he hoped this, as well as entirely vindicating the stories, the witness testimony put into the court by the two women, he hoped that its ultimate effect would be to encourage other women to trust the criminal justice encourage other women to trust the criminaljustice system. encourage other women to trust the criminal justice system. because since the allegations around weinstein were published in the new york times in october 2017, after that there were a flood of accusations made about him, questions about his sexual behaviour that came from more than 90 women. none of those have reached the criminal court, and! none of those have reached the criminal court, and i think many people did see this case not only as symbolically important, but in legal terms, absolutely vital to show that you can put these arguments a

yeah, you know, it's really interesting, because i covered the bill cosby retrial.und, prosecutors were allowed to bring in other women who could establish a pattern of behaviour to show that bill cosby had done this to other women as well. there is a little bit of power in numbers, you would think. so that's what the prosecution has done here as well. they have four additional women who have very strikingly similar accounts of how harvey weinstein as well tried to dangle job opportunities with them, allegedly attacked them in, and then tried to force their silence by threatening their careers. so it's really for the prosecution, just again, the power of numbers showing that this is a pattern of behaviour. now, whether the jury believes that is the big question. tasneem nashrulla is a buzzfeed news reporter. here's the article in newsweek from saturday. in it donna rotunno says "judges instructjurors to avoid all media coverage and outside influences in making their decision."

you prosecuted bill cosby, a very powerful showbiz figure.g survivors, courageous and brave enough to support each other. you talk about the survivors. there is a sense we are picking up here that there is a mood change among the women who have been affected by this. do you think we may see more cases coming out now as women feel braver and more able to speak?” think absolutely. i think it‘s important to note that — are they going to be more cases out there? absolutely. weinstein and cosby are not unique, they are high—profile predators getting a lot of press but they are reflective of a culture where there are male and female offenders. in this specific kind of case, they were of a culture where in america and in the uk, man possess a disproportionate number of leadership roles. until there is equality between females and males, there is i was going to be exploitation and abuse. but i also wa nt to exploitation and abuse. but i also want to make sure i highlight that these women who came forward, that ta kes a these women who came forward, t

bill cosby and harvey weinstein, powerful men, who used their power violently to conduct crimes, commit crimes against women who came to them because they knew about their power. now, what we're seeing is the state is making it clear this won't hold. you can't get away with this behavior anymore or you may face criminal penalties. this is a change for people and a welcome change for people. >> to press that point, these are cases that did not used to be considered criminal. this is the way powerful men behaved in the workplace. powerful men got their way and women talked about it amongst themselves or didn't but didn't complain about it publicly and certainly didn't think they could prosecute. >> that's exactly right. for any woman the subject of sexual assault or harassment in the workplace, i think they can look at today's result, one many observers thought wouldn't happen and a lot of people thought the stories were just too much, too ambiguous for the jury to process under the criminal justice system. we find today that was not the case, prosecutors were able to persuade this jury,

the cases of harvey weinstein, bill cosby, many of you have seen that women have been subject to significant abuse. old asuld say it is as the casting couch in hollywood, but the fact is that we live in a different era where women's rights are in the forefront and there has been this tremendous explosion that has built up for decades of people feeling abused. the question for me is as the , or is itwung too far acceptable? a couple quick examples and then i would like to hear your take. one example is a number of men in the conversation telling me i'm not going to hire women anymore, i don't want to take a chance of a sexual harassment lawsuit because of something i said, i complement her appearance and i'm told by my legal counsel that you can't do that, you can say you have a beautiful dress on but you cannot say you look beautiful. as a rabbi i recently had an experience where three months ago, one of the women who works in the office was on the phone crying, i said what happened? she said my father just died. i gave her a hug. the labor lawyer says you can't do that, you have to ask perm

we saw in the bill cosby case the test money of additional women did make a difference in his retriald that these other four women have had strikingly similar accounts. they painted the same picture of harvey weinstein using his power in hollywood, dangling job offers and then inviting women to his hotel or home under the guise of it being a business meeting to only then allegedly attacked them. using his power and influence to silence them because they fear any reprisal on their careers and they say that he isa on their careers and they say that he is a seasoned sexual predator, serial rapist who has done this cou ntless serial rapist who has done this countless times, that the jury should believe these six women have come forward. the defence on the other hand poking holes in that case of the prosecution. they put forward e—mails showing that one of the women had stayed in touch with harvey weinstein and they tried to argue that that showed that it was a consensual loving relationship. prosecutors on the other hand said this was just harvey weinstein staying in touch with these wome
