Ep. 8 | A Harmless Old Man?
Manage episode 253415673 series 2618350
Today's testimony from Weinstein accuser Jessica Mann is very graphic and very bizarre. It was one of the strangest court testimonies we have heard in our 25 years covering court. It was full of wild allegation and graphic descriptions of body parts and personal hygiene. Mann says she met Weinstein in 2012 or 2013 when she was an aspiring actress. Mann's relationship with Weinstein was revealed to be complicated and was often consensual according to Mann. After the alleged rape, she went on to date Weinstein and according to Mann, he would call her whenever he "needed a fix." When Mann recounts the alleged rape, she goes into graphic detail, at one point even says she thought at one point that Weinstein lacked proper male genitalia or was intersex. Mann also testified that her relationship with Weinstein was mentally abusive and that “he was like Jekyll and Hyde.”
Will the jury believe that she continued to contact her rapist or will then believe the defense which is claiming she was always in a consensual relationship?
