Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Judge Lisa Lench sentenced<\/a> him to 16 years in prison \u2014 eight years for forcible rape, six years for forcible oral copulation, and two years for sexual penetration by a foreign object, the three counts he was found guilty of, to be served consecutively.<\/p>\n Bonjean also argued the the judge had erred by allowing the jury to hear the conditional examination of Vicedomini in violation of Weinstein\u2019s Sixth Amendment right to confront the witness in court. The Italian film festival organizer presumably wasn\u2019t able to travel because of a medical reason.<\/p>\n Associate Justice Helen Bendix\u00a0noted, though, that California courts can\u2019t force a witness from Italy to appear in person and that Weinstein\u2019s defense would have needed his testimony if they wanted to persuade the jury that he had been Jane Doe\u2019s lover and that, as such, he wouldn\u2019t have wanted to tell Weinstein in which hotel she was staying.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t understand why you are objecting to the conditional examination \u2014 you needed him,\u201d Bendix said. \u201cYou were trying to express to the jury your theory of the case that she was sleeping with him on that night and not with your client.\u201d<\/p>\n California Deputy Attorney General David Glassman told the panel Weinstein\u2019s attorney was entirely wrong in suggesting that the defense was precluded from introducing their theory that Doe and Vicedomini were in a relationship and were together the morning after Weinstein had assaulted her.<\/p>\n \u201cThe entire dynamic between her and Vicedomini, which is irrelevant to this case, was aired to the jury,\u201d Glassman said, citing passages from Weinstein\u2019s trial attorney\u2019s closing statement.<\/p>\n Separately, a New York jury\u00a0last year reached<\/a> a partial\u00a0verdict in Weinstein\u2019s retrial,\u00a0convicting him on one criminal sex charge against former production assistant Miriam \u201cMimi\u201d Haley and acquitting him on another charge of the same crime against model Kaja Sokola.<\/p>\n
