Harvey Weinstein Trial: The Courthouse

Henry Segura

Could a man behind on $20,000 in child support really murder his girlfriend, the 3-year-old son they had together and her twin daughters? That’s exactly what prosecutors in Florida are trying to convince a six-person jury that Henry Segura did. But what if there was another explanation? What if the mother of three young children, Brandi Peters, had crossed the wrong people – a drug cartel intent on sending a message to others about what happens when you steal from the cartel? That’s exactly the case the defense will present - backed up by testimony from a convict claiming to be the man who ordered the hit. Prosecutors failed to get a conviction when Segura’s first trial ended in a hung jury. Will they prove their case this time? Vinnie and Seema will break down the entire case and debate the credibility of both theories. They will also preview the next big trial on Court TV – Florida vs. Mark Sievers – a man accused of orchestrating the murder of his own wife.

After many delays, movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is ready to face a jury of his peers in his sexual assault trial, but how did we get here? Vinnie and Seema will look back at all that has occurred – allegedly or not – to bring Harvey Weinstein to this point. Stories of his alleged behavior date back for decades, but things began to change in 2015 when a model went to the NYPD and agreed to wear a wire in order to prove he had assaulted her. Despite strong evidence, no charges were filed. But when journalists dug deep into Weinstein’s activities and convinced some famous women to go on the record, authorities could no longer stand idly by. What took so long? Vinnie and Seema will discuss those articles, the charges and what it’s going to take for prosecutors to prove their case. For all the latest updates and full trial coverage, watch Court TV.
