“There is nothing inflammatory or biased for scolding a defendant for not complying with the court,” unsurprisingly said the Empire State Supreme Court’s Judge James Burke on Thursday, the fourth day of a criminal trial that could see Weinstein behind bars for the rest of his life if found guilty of five felony counts.
“All I meant to do was scare him enough to convince him to discontinue using his phone,” Judge Burke continued this morning. “I certainly never actually meant I was going to put your client in jail for life nor did I mean that I had pre-judged whether he is guilty or not-guilty or innocent of the charges.”
“The issue is what the court said in its admonishment,” Rotunno said in response to the D.A.’s statements on their motion for recusal and other demands and asserting the defense’s belief that Burke had ungloved his hand on Weinstein’s guilt before the jury had even been seated.
As Weinstein conferred with representatives in the front row of the mainly media attended court, Cheronis went over to Illuzzi-Orbon for a conversation that saw both lawyers sizing each other up with arms crossed across their respective chests. While a cleaner came into the court to wipe up an earlier spill on the tiled floor by one of the sketch artists, a further discussion between Cheronis and Hast didn’t seem to be much cheerier than the one with Illuzzi-Orbon.
MOB tactics begin with Weinstein and his mobbed attys, no kidding. Glad to see the Judge isn’t having any of it.
Good God please hurry up and get this over I can’t stand looking at his face!
Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up.
