, testified in support of Haleyi’s sexual assault claims and traded barbs with defense attorney Donna Rotunno on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s testimony began with Entin recounting to prosecutor Meghan Hast her relationship with Haleyi and her nighttime conversation in the summer of 2006, when Haleyi told her she had been raped at Weinstein’s apartment.Harvey Weinstein Rape Trial 'Disgusts' Sundance As Festival Attendees Follow NYC Courtroom Drama
Later, when Haleyi told her about the incident at the apartment, Entin recalled telling her she should contact an attorney. In the weeks that followed, Entin recalled, “She was much more withdrawn. … more nervous … significantly less vital. Spent a lot more time in her room.” As fellow defense lawyer Damon Cheronis has done during cross-examinations, Rotunno sought to undermine Entin’s account by establishing several potential areas of doubt. In a series of questions, she got Entin to note that she had lost contact with Haleyi in 2007 and had not followed up to see if she was OK after the assault; that she had not told prosecutors certain details until Tuesday’s testimony; and that she had failed to intervene in advance of the assault.
