100 CENTRE STREET, May 6
-- 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.
May 5, after two
medical witnesses testified about records only briefly
flashed on the screen, talk turned to a possible witness
who spoke with SDNY prosecutors. Justice Farber said he
doubted any subpoena he might sign would get the interview
notes from the SDNY - and that absent the notes, the
witness cannot testify.
