Harvey Weinstein found guilty in rape trial
assistant producer, one of the rape trial’s two main accusers, alleges that Weinstein sexually assaulted her on two separate occasions in 2006. The jurors also asked to see emails sent between Weinstein and Haley, as well as any sent between Weinstein and any third party that related to Haley. In addition, the jurors requested to know the legal definitions of terms, including ‘consent’ and ‘forcible compulsion’.
The op-ed, which appeared in Newsweek magazine, implored jurors “to do what they know is right”. “The facts are the facts,” she wrote in the 284-word story. “Harvey Weinstein is innocent. His fate hangs in the balance, and the world is watching.” As in many high-profile cases, jurors have been reminded daily not to follow any news coverage of the case. However, before giving jurors their final instructions, Justice James M Burke warned the defense team it was “ordered to refrain from communicating with the press until there is a verdict in the case”. He added, “I would caution you about the tentacles of your public relations juggernaut.”
She continued: “The irony is that the ADAs [assistant district attorneys] in this case are the producers, and they are writing the script in this story…In their universe, women are not responsible for the parties they attend, the men they flirt with, the choices they make to further their careers, the hotel room invitations, and the plane tickets they accept.”#WhereIPutMyself: women are fighting back against victim-blaming with this powerful new hashtag.
