Your legacy could have been cemented with greatness,&#8221; Judge Curtis Farber said to the disgraced movie mogul. &#8220;But you threw it all away by assaulting Miriam Haley.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Weinstein was convicted last year of assaulting Haley. The Manhattan District Attorney&#8217;s Office asked for a 20-year sentence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Haley told the judge Wednesday that she felt like she&#8217;s been on trial for the last seven years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Wednesday, DA Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. thanked Haley &#8220;and all of the survivors who came to lend their support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;I&#8217;m moved, as we should all be moved, by their courage and their steadfastness through what has obviously been a challenging process,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>This is a developing story.
