100 CENTRE STREET, May 12
-- 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 May 5,
when the two sides fought about exhibits that are still
not being provided to the public and press.
On May 1 Inner City
Press put together a letter as it had with Justice Gregory
Carro down the hall during his Luigi Mangione hearing
(after which Justice Carro ordered the parties to provide
exhibits). Yes, NYS Justices still list fax numbers and
not emails and no, they do not seem to still have fax
machines. But Justice Farber got the letter. Letter here.
And see new book,
Harvey Weinstein's Last Stand, e-book
and audiobook.
Nothing has happened.
As of 5 pm five days later, not a single exhibit has been
provided.
On May 12,
closing arguments Marc Agnifilo said Jessica Mann was not
reliable, wouldn't say where she lived - he said she tried
to keep from the jury that she lived in affluent Laguna
Beach, and have they think she was living in her car all
that time. The prosecution's closing started with Jessica
Mann's early sexual abuse and "cult" upbringing and showed
exhibits - none have been made available to the public or
Press, despite its May 1 letter.
