So far, the jury has logged some 37 hours of deliberations.
convened for a 10th day Monday, having already logged some 37 hours of deliberations.
Court officials confirmed last Tuesday that jurors had heard a read-back of some testimony last week and that the panel had subsequently submitted a question to the court. No details about that requested read-back or question were released. Weinstein -- who Deputy District Attorney Marlene Martinez had earlier called a "titan of the film industry" -- engaged in "despicable behavior" and made sure that the alleged victims knew he "could destroy them," the prosecutor said in her closing argument.
Weinstein's attorney contended that two of the alleged attacks involving Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 "simply never happened" and that they were "fictionalized" accounts of events that never occurred. He said Weinstein's relationships with the other two alleged victims, including the governor's wife, were "100% consensual" and amounted to "transactional relationships.
"Jane Doe 4 cannot square in her mind that she's a successful, well-educated, well-bred, refined woman who had consensual sex with Harvey Weinstein in exchange for opportunity and access," he said of the governor's wife. "Regret is far from rape. You don't get to rewrite your own history no matter who you're married to."
She noted that the women knew they would come to court and face tough questioning from the defense, and that they knew "his attorneys would call them bimbos in open court for having been raped."
