On Tuesday morning, attorneys for Harvey Weinstein and the State of New York fought over the confines of their opening statements in the former movie mogul’s sexual assault trial

, which will be delivered to the 12-person jury on Wednesday.

Judge James M. Burke ruled on Tuesday that Cheronis will be allowed to quote from emails that were exchanged between Weinstein and his accusers in his presentation, but will not be allowed to display the emails in full. The defense views the emails as a central piece of exculpatory evidence. On the other side, assistant district attorney Joan Illuzzi said that Hast will show the jurors photos of the six women whom the prosecution expects to testify in the case.

The judge told both sides that, in their opening statements, they are allowed to “state what the evidence is going to show in their cross-examinations” but are not allowed to “make arguments” at the beginning of the case.
