With Harvey Weinstein’s fate hinging largely on what his accusers remember about what they say were sexual assaults years ago, his lawyers Friday turned to an expert known in the world of psychology for her studies of false, repressed and unreliable memories.
Loftus, 75, is expected to be the focal point Friday, a day after prosecutors rested their case against Weinstein after more than two weeks of testimony. Weinstein’s lawyers are aiming to raise more doubts about the women’s allegations after highlighting inconsistencies in some of their accounts during cross-examination questioning about encounters that, in some cases, happened a decade or two ago.
Sciorra, now 59, testified that she was hooked on Valium when the film, “The Night We Never Met,” started shooting in late 1992, but she refuted defence suggestions that she was still on the drug the night she alleges Weinstein raped her in 1993 or 1994. She said she had weaned herself off by then.
Wait, the pigs are blaming/discrediting the victim? I'm so shocked. Where did I put my predicting pearls?
