CENTRE STREET,
April 23 – The retrial of
Harvey Weinstein in New York
State court began on April 23;
Inner City Press was in the
courtroom and live tweeted it,
thread here.
The first
witness was former Miramax
assistant Stefan Sterns, who
testified he dropped Weinstein
at the Mercer Hotel to meet
Mirian Haley, one of the
victims in the case.
Sterns testified
about a silver suitcase that
always accompanied Weinstein,
without saying - or being
directly asked - what was in
it.
Weinstein
was bought in from Bellevue
Hospital in a wheelchair. Many
jurors spent the afternoon
looking at him and not the
witness.
After repeated
technological snafus with the
exhibits proffered by
Weinstein lawyer Jennifer
Bonjean on the screens in the
courtroom of Justice Curtis
Farber, a female witness who
had been waiting was said to
have to leave. She will or can
return in two weeks, the
prosecution team of ADA
Shannon Lucey said.
