Harvey Weinstein is now scheduled to stand trial for rape and sexual assault in September, three months later than initially planned.
The judge set a new date of Sept. 9 for a trial that attorneys said is expected to last about a month.Judge James Burke indicated he has decided whether to allow testimony from women other than the two whose allegations form the basis of the criminal case. He declined to reveal his decision in open court.
While lawyers argued whether evidence of Weinstein’s alleged prior bad acts can be admitted, Burke ordered the courtroom sealed at the request of both the defense and the prosecutors. Burke said it was the only way to assure Weinstein’s right to have his criminal trial heard by an impartial jury. He did acknowledge the information would include allegations of rape and sexual assault that were never charged by the DA.News organizations including ABC News fought unsuccessfully to keep the courtroom open.
He's just so sickening.....
We shall see. Will he pay
They are trying to kick the can down the road until the small brain Liberals no longer remember what this was about.
well, we all know he is going to be convicted! (guilty or not).
Good 2'C' the richest, brought 2' justices!
Eew, what Just throw this dude in prison already!
BULLSHIT! THIS needs to be handled NOW! NOT in September!
Will it be televised ?
One word: Jail.
Karma and justice may take a while to arrive but they often do .. fingers crossed same for Trump and co.
he would have stand trial 20 years ago if the WOMEN that he assaulted would have made a complaint to the POLICE instead of accepting his sexual assault to advance their careers.
But not trump?
Well done Harvey👍👏
You’d think he would take a plea... This is going to be a salaciously juicy trial
Yay! I’m loving this
You'd think as rich as he is, he be off free of charge .
