100 CENTRE STREET, May 5
-- 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 four days later, not a single exhibit has been
provided.
May 5, after a
hotel witness who knew nothing, and doctors who flashed
small font records not provided, the two sides fought
about emails in the case most of which they say the jury
"has." But the public does not have them. It would be so
easy - and should be required. We'll have more on this -
and on the remaining witnesses, one of whom has fled the
jurisdiction.
