This guy has both and while he may lose his power, he will keep the money, spend no time in prison, live happily ever after quietly until he dies of a heart attack some years later then celebrated for his accomplishments. Someone will bring up his crimes, they will be shouted down and after a week, he will be forgotten until the Oscars gives him a "Lifetime Achievement Award".
Cosby was tried, and a hung jury may not be all that surprising. But he still faces at least a dozen potential civil suits.
I think a key difference here - and I'm not very familiar with the Cosby case - is Weinstein is on tape in a NY sting op. That will be powerful corroboration against the defense that these women threw themselves at him to further their career. Supposedly Weinstein was also well known for this, so plenty of other witnesses who are not making accusations themselves.
When it's all said and done, Weinstein will be well over 9 figures to settle all these cases.
