’s attorney argued Tuesday that his Los Angeles case should be thrown out because the prosecution improperly relied on an expert on “rape trauma syndrome” during grand jury proceedings.

Much of the detail about the case has been kept under seal, but Werksman previewed some of his trial arguments at Tuesday’s hearing. The attorneys on both sides also made repeated references to Weinstein’s medical records and to his “ability to perform certain sexual functions.” Without providing further detail, Werksman argued that one of the accusers “failed to identify certain physical anomalies.”

One of the accusers purportedly had some kickboxing training, and so Mechanic was asked to explain to the grand jurors why she might not fight back against a sexual assault, Werksman said.“We did rebut the rape myths that were raised by the defense,” he argued.
