As a now convicted felon, Harvey “I’m going to give the NRA my full attention” Weinstein will no longer be able to legally own firearms.
Apparently, though, he will be allowed to vote after he is released from prison (once he is on probation or parole). Since he hasn’t been sentenced yet, who knows when that will be: but I suspect it won’t be before the 2020 elections.
Edited to add: by way of Popehat on the Twitters, Scott Greenfield explains sentencing in New York as it relates to Harvey Weinstein:
Rape 3 Class E Non-violent felony, punishable by probation to 1 1/3- 4 years in prison.
Criminal Sexual Assault 1 Class B Violent Felony, punishable by determinate sentence, max 5-25 years in prison. https://t.co/cn3SCDDjR7

(This is a thread. If I understand it correctly, there’s no option for him to get probation on the class B felony, and there’s a minimum term of five years.)
