The jury found Mr. Weinstein guilty of two counts, criminal sexual assault in the first degree and rape in the third degree. On the two counts of predatory sexual assault, the not guilty verdicts suggested that one or some jurors did not believe the testimony of Annabella Sciorra, an actress best known for her work in “The Sopranos.”
He faces a possible sentence of between five and 29 years.
Mr. Weinstein goes to jail, and the jury foreman speaks.
As the jury walked into the courtroom to announce that it had reached a verdict, Mr. Weinstein sat between his lawyers, staring straight ahead, as four court officers stood behind him.
Mr. Weinstein appeared unmoved as the verdict was read. “But, I’m innocent,” the producer repeated three times to his lawyers. Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the Manhattan district attorney, was nearby, in the front row.
After the verdict was read, Justice James M. Burke thanked the jurors for their “care and concentration” before they left the courtroom. As they filed out, Juror No. 6 stared at Mr. Weinstein.
The judge then announced that Mr. Weinstein would immediately be sent to jail to await his sentencing. But as court officers approached him, the producer seemed stunned and refused to move.

"Weinstein was helped out of the courtroom by court security. He didn't take the walker with him."

Had to google what rape in the third degree means.
