100 CENTRE STREET, April
24 -- Harvey Weinstein was in
his wheelchair, this time with Marc Agnifilo, Teny Geragos
and Jacob Kaplan as his lawyers, as opening arguments
began before NYS Justice Curtis Farber on April 21. Inner
City Press was there and live tweeted. So too on April 24:
Assistant DA: Was Jessica Mann not herself after the trip to New York in 2013? Defense: Objection! Judge Farber: You can't really ask that ADA: Can we have a sidebar? Sidebar ensues. Some jurors watching.
Sidebar ends Judge: You noticed some change? Witness: I read- Judge: Not what you read. What did you see. Witness: I noticed it in a call with her.
Judge: When? Witness: 2018 ADA: You called her "more grounded" [does air quotes]
Judge: More grounded?? Defense: Objection
Now defense gets to question Weinstein's lawyer Jacob Kaplan: Did you see Jessica Mann after March 2013? Witness: Yes, here in New York. And at Harvey's Oscar party.
Kaplan: When you had breakfast with them, were her eyes red? Witness: No.
[Kaplan walks over and confers with Agnifilo and Teny Geragos. Then]
Kaplan: No further questions. Judge: Any more witnesses today? ADA: No.
End of week
