Harvey Weinstein's retrial continues with closing arguments emphasizing contrasting perspectives from his defense and the prosecution. Weinstein, 73, opted not to testify as he faces charges of assaulting three women over a decade ago. His lawyer, Arthur Aidala, used humor and reenactments to argue that Weinstein engaged in a 'courting game' rather than committing crimes. In contrast, prosecutor Nicole Blumberg urged jurors to remember the severity of the allegations, framing the encounters as non-consensual acts. Weinstein denies the charges and remains incarcerated following a 2020 conviction that was later overturned.
Prosecutor Nicole Blumberg stated, 'This was not a 'courting game,' as Mr. Aidala wants you to believe. This was never about 'fooling around.' It was about rape.'
