BREAKING: A New York jury has found that Kevin Spacey didn’t molest fellow actor Anthony Rapp in the 1980s, bringing to a conclusion a trial that was an outgrowth of the MeToo movement.
"He lacks credibility," Steigman said. As for his client, the lawyer said he filed the lawsuit "to hold Kevin Spacey accountable."After jurors were sent away to deliberate, Keller drew sympathy from U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan when she complained that Steigman broke trial rules when he finished his summation by telling jurors that he hopes "you don't let him get away with it this time.
Keller called Steigman's statement "another clear, premeditated attempt to let the jury know" about other claims against Spacey.Kaplan responded by saying Steigman's statement "shouldn't happen" and that if the jury ruled in Rapp's favor, attorneys may need to make written arguments over the issue. He also said that Rapp during his testimony should not have mentioned that there were other claims made against Spacey.
Spacey's attorney said it was possible Rapp invented it based on his experience performing in "Precious Sons," a play in which actor Ed Harris picks up Rapp's character and lays on top of him, mistaking him briefly for his wife before discovering it is his son.
