Harvey Weinstein's lead defense attorney was lambasted by a prosecutor for writing an op-ed that addressed the jury ahead of trial deliberations.
Harvey Weinstein’s lead defense attorney Tuesday was lambasted by a prosecutor for writing an op-ed that directly addressed the jury ahead of trial deliberations, which were set to begin that morning.
“The mocking of Mr. Weinstein’s walker, the unflattering courtroom-artist sketches of his body, the countless critical op-eds and biased stories, and the convenient timing of the politically-motivated charges in Los Angeles were all designed to pre-determine his guilt,” Rotunno wrote. “There’s no way that the sanctity and purity of a jury trial can ever exist and continue if every party is permitted to just go ahead and publicly say something that they would not be able to... in court,” Illuzzi said.
