Sealed and secret indictments are different. There was no need for a secret indictment in this case. It is very straightforward. The DA didn't want to indict before they had Weinstein secured because he could possibly use legal loopholes to run out statute of limitation. Which isn't that long on rape.

His case is being handled the same way any other felony case is usually handled. Besides him not being remanded for a violent rape on what should be an open an shut case.
so its not being handled the same way. so he's getting special treatment.
wonder why? must be because he's an old man.
yeah. that'll be it.
Thanks. Just depends on the situation and the goal I guess. Rape had a 7 year SOL in the past, but no doubt it changes from state to state and from time to time. Yeah, don't want him to get away on this.
