NEW YORK — The defense rested its case Tuesday in Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial, relying on just a few witnesses to supplement aggressive cross-examination as they aimed to undercut his accusers, all while keeping the disgraced Hollywood producer off the witness stand.
Weinstein, 67, is charged with raping a woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex in 2006 on a different woman: film and TV production assistant Mimi Haley. “I am not a fan of blowing the lead if I feel like we are already on a road to victory,” said Brian McMonagle, a defense lawyer not involved in the case who helped secure a mistrial in Bill Cosby’s first sexual assault trial in 2017.
On Monday, after strong testimony from a defense witness who repudiated the account of one of Weinstein’s accusers, his lawyer Arthur Aidala declared: “It was a great day for the defense today.” “If I had done that, I would remember that,” Salinas testified. “I would never close the door on anybody.”
MERICA
He's just one well placed horse kick to the head away from justice.
Trump will pardon him too
just for the lols hope the jury finds not guilty
PIG alert.
Trump should pardon him.
He is smiling because he is like: Who is going to be my next victim?
I have to say. My opinion on this has evolved after seeing the facts of the case come out.
LOCK UP THE RAPIST!!
He'll probably get house arrest at the secret hideaway of Oprah & GayleKing
🤝 💎
nearly every one of these women admitted to sleeping with him to get their 'break' and continued to do so to 'enhance' their careers, or to 'protect' their careers. Rape? no, extortion and prostitution? probably.
Don't you love how these criminals and perverts, once caught, immediately age about 20 years, as if raping and criminality is their lifeblood and the only way they can stand upright?
Oh they’re about to give this mofo probation
Bye Harvey. Say hi to Bernie Madoff.
He looks happy
They must not get gout medication in prison; that explains why they always need walkers to make their way into the courtroom.
Do prisons allow infirm inmates to keep walkers when they first enter prison?
With the picture of him smiling I thought the news was something else for a tiny split second. That was still long enough for my stomach to lurch.
wtf .. witnesses at a trial? weird
He has a chance of walking, or in his case, hobbling....
SpeakerPelosi will pray for him, she does that you know, just pray and pray
If he testifies then he’ll be suicided
