Prosecutors protest remarks made by Harvey Weinstein’s lead defence lawyer after he promised aggressive cross-examination of potential witness
Prosecutors in New York have accused Harvey Weinstein’s lead defence lawyer of making public statements intended to intimidate a potential witness ahead of the fallen movie mogul’s retrial and asked a judge to take action.
Haley, who did not attend the court hearing, had said days earlier she was weighing whether to testify again at a retrial.Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg, in the letter to Justice Curtis Farber, said the defence attorney violated state rules of professional conduct and “knowingly disregarded his professional and ethical obligations.”
Weinstein’s next court date is Wednesday. At the May 1 hearing, prosecutors asked for a retrial as soon as September. Farber said the trial would take place some time after Labor Day.
