Weinstein's attorney said while her client may have sinned, 'there's a difference between sins and crimes.'
Harvey Weinstein's new defense attorney, Donna Rotunno, is raising some eyebrows after her interview on CBS This Morning. During a sit-down with co-host Gayle King, Rotunno explained why she isn't a supporter of the #MeToo movement and why she's confident Weinstein will be completely exonerated.
Weinstein is facing criminal charges in New York on allegations of sexual assault against two women. His trial starts in January and Rotunno was asked about her defense strategy. "It's not uncommon for a woman who has been through a very difficult, traumatic experience with a man to still be engaged with that man," noted King.
Rotunno was asked about the three women expected to testify during THE trial as"prior bad act" witnesses, similar to the women who were allowed to testify during Bill Cosby's trial."I think there's always a concern about those things," she admitted."I think the notion of where there's smoke, there's fire is always something that we have to worry about.
"Do you ever worry that you're making it harder for women who have been sexually harassed, assaulted, raped to come forward?" King asked.
