Harvey Weinstein’s defense team didn’t take much time.
After prosecutors laid out a broad case for the former megaproducer’s guilt, calling six women who accused him of rape or sexual assault in testimony lasting some two weeks, Weinstein’s attorneys took only about three days to say their piece.
Weinstein himself did not testify, and his attorneys relied largely on their prior cross-examinations to make the case that his alleged crimes were actually consensual encounters. (Some of those points are included in NPR’s look at prosecutors’ arguments last week.)
