SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 19 – Anthony Rapp's
lawsuit against Kevin Spacey
was removed to Federal court
in November 2020, and an
anonymous co-plaintiff C.D.
was added.
Spacey wanted to
make C.D.'s name public, to
order to conduct discovery, he
says. C.D.'s lawyers
opposed it, letter on Patreon
here.
On May 26, 2022
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan held a
hearing, with Spacey
testifying, on Rapp's motion
to remand the case. Judge
Kaplan at the end said it is
his present intention to deny
the motion to remand, and that
the trial will start in
October. Inner City Press
attended then tweeted here.
[Then video
here]
On October
6, 2022, the
trail began. On the
way in video I,
II; afterward
Space
and Vlog.
Here's
the live tweeted thread
by Inner City
Press of the openings,
here
On October
18, after
cross of
Spacey, his
expert Dr.
Bardey -
instead of the
expert he
first paid,
Dr. Loftus
of Ghislaine
Maxwell trial
fame, who
apparently
didn't say
what Spacey wanted
and so wasn't
called as a witness.
Thread here.
On October
19, evidence
in the case ended
with re-re-direct
and -cross of
Spacey's
expert Dr.
Bardey. Thread
here:
OK - Rapp v. Kevin Spacey trial now in
last day of evidence, cross of Spacey's Dr.
Bardey. Rapp's lawyer: So there were
tests that Dr. Rocchio performed, that found
Anthony Rapp was reporting his symptoms
accurately, right?
Dr. Bardey: Correct. Rapp's lawyer: So they
found him to be an honest reporter -- Judge: I
used on this. Don't use the phrase. Rapp's
lawyer: What did Dr Rocchio score Mr. Rapp,
out of 63?
Dr Bardey: I don't remember. Rapp's lawyer:
Page 11. You don't have Dr Roccio's report
with you? Dr Bardey: I do not. Rapp's lawyer:
So I show it to you. 19 out of 63. But you
called it off the charts
Rapp's lawyer: How much do you charge Mr.
Spacey in this case? Dr Bardey: $500 an
hour. Rapp's lawyer: So you've gotten
$45,000. You're a paid expert, right? Dr.
Bardey: My time is compensated appropriately.
Rapp's lawyer: You spoke to Mr. Rapp's friend
Detective Snow -- Spacey's lawyer: Objection!
This has been ruled on! Judge Kaplan:
Sustained. Rapp's lawyer: Did Mr. Snow say Mr.
Rapp was one of the best people he knew --
Spacey's lawyer: Objection! Judge: Sustained
Re-direct. Spacey's lawyer: Did you read that
Ken would get upset at Mr. Rapp of staying in
touch with people from his distant past? Did
Ken try to stop it? Spacey's expert
Bardey: Yes. Ken said he felt threatened.
Break is taken. We're back. Spacey's lawyer:
Mr. Rapp was asked if he had experience fear
and shame, right? Dr Bardey: He said yes - and
75% of the time. Spacey's lawyer: This is what
you mean by off the charts, yes? Dr. Bardey:
Correct. I
Spacey's lawyer: You know Zoom, all of us do
unfortunately - Mr. Rapp could have turned off
Gallery View and not seen Mr. Spacey in the
depositions and proceedings, right? Spacey's
expert Bardey: Yes.
Spacey's lawyer: If Mr. Rapp, of all
the in person proceedings, only came to
the one with a lot of press where Mr. Spacey
was going to testify, would that be consistent
with PTSD? Spacey's expert Bardey: No. [See here,
will be part of booklet]
Re-cross (we're getting to the end)
Rapp's lawyer: So you were not interested to
know how he felt being deposed in this case?
Spacey's lawyer: Objection, argumentative.
Rapp's lawyer: Let me rephrase. Might it have
been helpful to ask?
Bardey: It wasn't a factor
Rapp's lawyer: Did you ask Mr. Rapp if
he knows how to cut Mr. Spacey's face out of
Zoom? Spacey's expert Bardey: No.
After rounds of re-re-direct and re-re-cross,
"the Defense rests." Judge Kaplan tells jurors
to return tomorrow for closing arguments.
