“His own iniquities will capture the wicked, And he will be held with the cords of his sin.” Proverbs 5:22 (NASB).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

67 year-old Harvey Weinstein was convicted last month by a New York jury of 3rd degree rape and one count of 1st degree criminal sexual act.  The crimes carried maximum prison sentences of 4 years and 25 years respectively.

He was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison for the 1st degree crime and 3 years for the 3rd degree crime, a total of 23 years.

Interestingly, the judge sentenced Weinstein to serve those sentences consecutively, which means he will have to complete the prison term for the first sentence before the next sentence begins.
