100 Centre Street, May 4 – In the Harvey
Weinstein trial, NYS Justice Curtis Farber on Friday, May
1 told the jurors that they need not come back until
Tuesday, May 5, as Monday was his calendar
day.
Inner City Press on Monday, May 4 went to
see Justice Farber's calendar day. It included a defendant
who came in under his own steam, not in detention - but
was remanded, taken to the holding cell after attempting
to speak for himself.
Justice Farber, who told
the Weinstein juror to forgive him for standing up during
the trial day, saying his back acts on, now on his motion
day had a standing desk to work at, making him less than
visible when he sat down behind it.
Several defendants were described as
"produced but not before the court." Another defendant had
his arraignment pushed back to Friday, May 8 since his
defense lawyer sent in an affidavit that he is on trial
elsewhere.
In the Harvey Weinstein trial, Justice Farber has before him a letter request that he order the prosecution and defendant to make their trial exhibits available to the public and press, as for example Justice Carro did after a similar request by Inner City Press.
So far in Weinstein, nothing. Watch
