Harvey Weinstein leaves court on Thursday afternoon, after the prosecution rested their case and the first defense witness testified that Weinstein 'had a voracious appetite for women.' Read the latest on the trial:
against Harvey Weinstein, the former movie mogul’s defense team called Paul Feldsher as their first witness.
He recalled a long conversation he had with Sciorra back in the early 1990s, when Sciorra allegedly told him that "she’d done this crazy thing with Harvey Weinstein." On cross-examination, lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi played up Feldsher’s frequent communication with Weinstein over the last two years or so and got him to acknowledge that he’s been in "constant communication" with Weinstein since then.
Asked about that text message, Feldsher replied: "I was trying to be a friend and say, 'I know the extremes of your personality, the extremes of your appetite.'" He added, "I am learning a lot now, and I had no idea my text messages would end up in the court room."
