So-called “fresh complaint” witnesses are allowed to be introduced as an exception to hearsay. That’s not the case here, defense attorney Mark Werksman said, because “when it’s eight years later and pried out of an alleged victim after it’s been widely publicized that the accused was arrested for sexual assault, it’s just hearsay.”
Arguments on the issue of the breadth of witnesses testifying against Weinstein and corroborating the accounts of those testifying against him flared up when the prosecution looked to allow a witness who will testify about a prior admission by Weinstein in a 1998 settlement conference that he has issues with consent.
In addition to four women Weinstein is accused of assaulting, five women will testify about uncharged assaults. On Oct. 14, Werksman warned that the court is allowing far too many witnesses.
what more can you do to the guy? he is being sacrificed over & over at the altar of MeToo we all know what most of these actresses were doing in his hotel room. Or his bedroom, Lupita. They know.
That's crazy because I watched his first trial and I can't believe he was convicted in it. I don't like the man & I know he was skeezy, but it was obvious it was not forced, but quid pro quo. Also, he lost his 🍆. It's not on the sketches for a reason.
The media has been working hard to establish the presumption of guilt of HarveyWeinstein among the general public... Re the witnesses: let's remember that they didn't have even one strong witness against him in NY trial, he got wrongly convicted... will see what happens in LA...
Lupita Nyongo should give her experience with Harvey Weinstein.
