Mel Gibson Can Testify, and Be Questioned on Possible Bias, at Harvey Weinstein Trial
Weinstein attorney Mark Werksman then argued that if Gibson does take the stand, the defense should be allowed to cross-examine him about widely publicized antisemitic remarks Gibson made during an arrest in 2006, and about racist statements to a girlfriend that were recorded and publicized in 2010.
“Any evidence of Mr. Gibson’s racism or antisemitism would give rise to a bias against my client, who challenged him," Werksman said., but Weinstein, whose films once dominated the Oscars, shook his head as he sat at the defense table. The prosecution argued that Gibson had made no such suggestions about himself, and that at the time of the conversation with his masseuse he said he was discussing getting into a business deal with Weinstein, showing there was no such bias.
The United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II announced on Friday that she was revoking Harvey Weinstein’s prestigious CBE honor in light of his rape convictions.In one of several similar rulings Friday, Lench also found that “Melrose Place” actor Daphne Zuniga could testify in a similar capacity for a woman known at the trial as Jane Doe #4, whom Weinstein is accused of raping in 2004 or 2005.
