7. He's going to argue - probably successfully - for time served on the assault sentencing

He's basically been in jail for six years on just that conviction.

Then there's the Californian case. The appeal may very well succeed (it was the weakest of the cases, which is why they were trying to keep him in New York).

And then all you need is one guy on the jury who thinks "MeToo went too far," not hard to find in the Trump 2 era.

There's a good chance that he's walking free within the year.

It's sickening. Really shows how the system works for you if you have unlimited money for lawyers (see also Bill Cosby).
