The judge initially seemed unfamiliar with Rotunno’s comments, asking her: “What did you do, Ms. Rotunno?” The Weinstein attorney denied that she did anything wrong, claiming that she was only stating a fact when discussing Sciorra’s acting career. “I have not degraded anyone,” Rotunno said. “Judge, I will not do anything that is inappropriate or unprofessional.”
Although the "pre-selection process" will commence on Tuesday, the judge said that what he called “real jury selection” will begin on Jan. 14, at which time a small selection of the prospective jurors will be asked to bring in their filled questionnaires. On another issue, Illuzzi-Orbon demanded that the defense team “stipulate” about the role of a Black Cube intelligence agent in potentially influencing a witness. “There is an issue with the presence of Black Cube,” she said, arguing that the agent — identified as formerjournalist Seth Freedman by the prosecution — contacted a witness to determine what she would say about Weinstein at trial.
Explaining why the state does not support turning over interview notes, including with women who have accused Weinstein of misconduct, the prosecutor said: "That is not something that we are just going to provide wholesale to the person who is the predator in this court room."
