Sorry Harvey Weinstein, but according to an NYC judge, you still have a sexual assault trial to attend to since a judge rejected his motion to dismiss the case.
Read on to get more details on Harvey Weinstein arriving at the courthouse Thursday morning…
CelebNMusic247.com reports that movie mogul Harvey Weinstein got the bad news shortly thereafter.
Weinstein thought he was gonna get his way, instead, he got the news that life doesn’t always go your way once in court.
The judge called prosecutors and Weinstein’s attorney to the bench … and said he was not dismissing the indictment. His attorney quickly learned after wasting his breath at the bench for about 10 minutes that the judge was not dismissing the indictment.
Harvey has three more months until his world will come crashing down and everything will be exposed in his pretrial which will begin on March 7, 2019.
TMZ reports:
The judge issued a written ruling addressing the defense’s motion to dismiss — saying the prosecution is not required to give the Grand Jury evidence that is favorable to the defense.
Translation: There’s nothing shady about the Grand Jury not hearing evidence about relationships Weinstein might have had with his accusers.
The judge also said the defense’s argument the D.A. filed the charges due to “political pressure” was speculative.
Weinstein’s legal team had fired off a letter earlier this month informing the judge … they’ve found an email claiming to show one of the women alleging he raped her sure didn’t act like it, because she went to HIS movie screening only hours after the alleged rape.The movie mogul’s defense has also pointed to a new female witness — a close friend of one of Weinstein’s accusers — using her to paint a picture of a consensual relationship between Weinstein and his accuser.
You’ll recall … Weinstein very publicly turned himself into the NYPD in May and walked out in cuffs on the way to court, where he was charged with rape, a criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct for incidents involving 2 separate women. A few days later, Weinstein was indicted by a grand jury on multiple rape charges.
