'Is this really the way that you want to end up in jail for the rest of your life,' Manhattan Supreme Court Judge James Burke asked Weinstein from the bench Tuesday, 'by texting and violating a court order?'
"For these reasons, it has become clear to Mr. Weinstein that the Court has already violated its own mandate to the potential jurors by deciding that Mr. Weinstein is guilty before it has heard any of the trial evidence," the letter notes.
On Tuesday, defense attorney Arthur Aidala held aloft New York newspaper covers in court featuring reports of the new charges and implored Burke to adjourn the trial for a"cooling off period." Film producer Harvey Weinstein arrives at New York Criminal Court for his sexual assault trial in the Manhattan borough of New York City on Jan. 8, 2020.
Lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon cited the new charges in Los Angeles on Tuesday to argue that Weinstein's bail should be revoked to ensure he returns to court to face trial in New York. Burke denied her request.
