In What Happens When the Overton Window Expands?, host Jack Russo examines how #MeToo changed the legal landscape surrounding sexual misconduct without necessarily rewriting the statutes themselves. Using Harvey Weinstein\u2019s long-running litigation as a case study, Jack explores how changing social expectations can influence prosecutorial discretion, jury attitudes, civil litigation, and the willingness to pursue decades-old allegations. Yet appellate courts remain a critical counterweight, enforcing evidentiary rules and procedural limits even when public pressure runs high. The discussion also looks at how civil discovery can expose evidence that later fuels criminal cases, and why elite defense teams often find their strongest opportunities at trial or on appeal rather than sentencing. Where might the Overton Window move next as technology, deepfakes, and corporate accountability create entirely new legal questions?
