Harvey Weinstein has hit a hard wall with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office on his desire to take his upcoming rape trial out of the NYC media spotlight
has hit a hard wall with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office on his desire to take his upcoming rape trial out of the NYC media spotlight.“Defendant has failed to meet his burden of showing this Court that there is ‘reasonable cause to believe’ that he cannot receive ‘a fair and impartial trial’ in New York County,” NYC Assistant D.A. Harriett Galvin said in a short but stern response to the August 20 filing by the disgraced producer’s lawyer Arthur Aidala.
“This is not, by any stretch, the ‘rare’ case in which a change of venue should be granted prior to jury selection,” Galvin said. “Defendant’s motion is replete with hyperbole and speculation about the impact that pretrial publicity has had on potential jurors; he has not shown that jurors in Suffolk or Albany County will be any less impacted or influenced by media coverage about the case; and he has contributed to that coverage by the actions of his legal representatives.
