The prosecution's closing argument was designed to undercut the seeds of doubt painstakingly planted by defense attorneys over three weeks of testimony.
In her closing arguments Friday, the lead prosecutor in Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial proclaimed that power, manipulation and abuse — as well as a “lack of human empathy” — are what led the producer to the charges he now faces in Manhattan criminal court.
“He made sure he had contact with the people he was worried about as a little check to make sure that one day, they wouldn’t walk out from the shadows and call him exactly what he was: an abusive rapist,” she said. “He was wrong.”Advertisementand Jessica Mann kept in contact with Weinstein, and in some cases engaged in consensual sex with the producer after their alleged assaults.
