'Is this really the way that you want to end up in jail for the rest of your life,' Manhattan Supreme Court Judge James Burke asked Weinstein from the bench Tuesday, 'by texting and violating a court order?'

"For these reasons, it has become clear to Mr. Weinstein that the Court has already violated its own mandate to the potential jurors by deciding that Mr. Weinstein is guilty before it has heard any of the trial evidence," the letter notes.

On Tuesday, defense attorney Arthur Aidala held aloft New York newspaper covers in court featuring reports of the new charges and implored Burke to adjourn the trial for a"cooling off period." Film producer Harvey Weinstein arrives at New York Criminal Court for his sexual assault trial in the Manhattan borough of New York City on Jan. 8, 2020.

Lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon cited the new charges in Los Angeles on Tuesday to argue that Weinstein's bail should be revoked to ensure he returns to court to face trial in New York. Burke denied her request.

'Judge James Burke had laid into Weinstein on Tuesday after observing him using a cellphone in court despite repeated warnings at previous hearings that it was prohibited in his courtroom.' What's so hard to understand this? Sounds like the right Judge to me.

Works for me ! Bye bye Felicia

He’s like Cohen and Manafort broken from his time in jail — evokes pity ? Naaaw

He can’t help NOT BEING IN CHARGE. Such a Bazaar toad

Real men doesn't do sexual crimes against women, this dude should rot in prison

Whoever set up his walker (if they were legit) should lose their license. He should not be stooped over like that. Clearly faking

Hes a pest to all women and now hes playing the old man card

Why? Because he told u to get off ur phone during court?

Weinstein is very Trump-like. He believes that the law doesn't apply to him. You're never allowed to use your phone in a courtroom. Why should he get special treatment?

Weinstein showed no respect for the judge.

CAREFUL WEINSTEIN IS GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK!🤣😉😂🤣

He's totally going to do the Keyser Soze strut when he get off with no jail time.

Didn't work for Bill Cosby.

I laughed my ass off when I saw this. So comical. reminded me of the scene in Goodfellows.

RashidaTlaib

Fucking loopholes

texting who? I didn't text nobody.

Hollywood Scum!

I don’t think he will find any judge that will give him what he wants

Why is he playing victim

He should probably be in prison for the other reasons but hey whatever gets him there
