Summary
It was the most dramatic day so far in the Harvey Weinstein trial. Yesterday, we heard more from key witness and Weinstein accuser Jessica Mann as she was cross-examined by the defense. The defense brought up a series of friendly emails between Mann and Weinstein and she was forced to defend her own words and tone. She also gave another graphic recount of a sexual encounter with Weinstein. She claims it was abusive and therefore not consensual. At one point, Mann even sent Weinstein a friendly email asking him to meet her mother. This was used by the defense to further question her claims. The cross-examination further revealed that Mann saw Weinstein the day after her alleged rape and helped celebrate Weinstein's birthday. Mann's testimony finished when she broke down and the judge decided that the testimony should resume Tuesday. Listen to the dramatic reenactment of the courtroom highlights in this thrilling new episode.
