Hello, I'm filling my career and I'm at McKinley and welcome to day 7 of the Harvey Weinstein trial unfiltered the daily podcast where we reenact verbatim testimony from The Trial of Harvey Weinstein. So an interesting day to day film. Yes the prosecution brought a couple of witnesses who they thought would bolster the allegations we heard yesterday of taralli wolf and Don Dunning. They both alleged they were sexually assaulted by Weinstein Don done in also claimed. She was literally ripped by Weinstein. I don't think the prosecution Got what they were hoping for me their witness today that I think they just didn't deliver what what they really know what they were hoping for. Yeah. So interestingly Weinstein has not been charged with assaulting either of the women. They are what's known as these molineux Witnesses who are there to show evidence of Prior bad acts and predators predatory assault the jury has to decide whether he sexually assaulted two women raping one of them for other women are testifying to attack them including taralli wolf and Don donning their one of these for other. Urban and the jury is just listening to these kinds but is actually not deciding on his guilt or innocence that they are all part of this predatory charge. So it's a it's a it's a strange situation. Yeah, we're going to try think we're going to spend some more time talking about that will and not today, but but I think it's an interesting legal and situation. I mean funny I talk to somebody about it today and they were basically saying it's you know, when you think about it if you were in charge with murder and you were in a court, they won't allow it. Anything we brought in about, you know, prior prior assaults that you might have had. You know, what because it would Prejudice Prejudice the jury. However, that seems to have been suspended in this case, but we're going to we're going to speak probably to a legal expert on that. But yes, I think it is an interesting one and I think that actually this mono look ruled looks like it goes back to the early part of the 1900s. So but we're going to dig into that. So what first today we heard from Lincoln Davies the former fiance of aspiring actress Dawn darling now Don dreams at Harvey Weinstein put his / skirt violently in a hotel suite in SoHo New York in 2004 shortly after that. She agreed to meet him at the Intercontinental Hotel in Manhattan to discuss some film projects. It was there he made an Indecent Proposal he did. Yes. Yes. He said he would give her three contracts for three different movies if she agreed to a threesome with him and his assistant Bonnie I hadn't realized was actually so do you know this tree? It's like yeah. It's at three contracts for three movies if she just agreed to a threesome with with his assistant Bonnie, so Here Lincoln Davies described meeting Harvey Weinstein. And the A-list party is he and Don Dona are invited and we should point out that Lincoln is Australian. So let's hear Lincoln Davies described meeting Harvey Weinstein and the airless parties. He and Don donning were invited to he's been questioned by assistant District Attorney Megan Hast. These are actors playing these people and it's verbatim testimony. This is exactly as was said in the courtroom. Do you know somebody named Harvey Weinstein know I was introduced to him before but at a Premiere and stuff, but I don't really know him outside of that introduction who introduced you to him Dawn. When were you introduced to him? It was at a movie premiere for one of his movies. I don't recollect what that actual movie was. How did you end up at that movie premiere via his invitation? I was the plus 1/3 plus 1/4 who Dawn were you aware of Don's relationship with Harvey Weinstein at that time? We've been to a couple of things we had been to like the producers and stuff. He got us tickets to or got her tickets to that was one thing outside of that there was a party, but I do not remember going but definitely One time with the producers that was an event that we were invitees of his to was Don pursuing acting at that time. Yes, so it was quite the exciting life for Miss donning who was an aspiring actress and as Mr. Davies was later to say she was very excited that she was so close to such a major movie producer such as Harvey Weinstein. However, that all changed one evening after Dawn returned from a meeting where she was supposed to sign a contract with mr. Weinstein. Let's Here Lincoln Davies described how he remembered the evening and we should say that although they were fiancé's at the time. They're no longer together having split up I think in 2008 2009. Alright, so they were having quite the exciting life in New York back. Then there were young and in love and in fact it Miss darling give a very full description of her life with especially when she met Harvey Weinstein. She was going to all the top parties as she said she got all the hottest tickets and he was making all the hottest movies. Yeah, but but actually time has certainly been kinder to miss donning looks wise and courageous. Wise and Dunning now 40 goes back and forth as she says between California and New York. She works as a costume and production designer helping brands with their creative Direction while he told the court that he lives in Los Angeles and overseas restaurants, which I'm not sure what that means. He didn't. Mr. DeVries. No didn't Lincoln didn't go into any details what overseeing restaurants means whether it means he's overseen for McDonald's or maybe he's overseen a lustrum, but definitely got the impression that her life had. Had gone in a better Direction. So it was an exciting life and as he said, you know, she was an aspiring actress and she was really happy and excited about this interconnection with use her proximity to Harvey Weinstein, but that all changed according to mr. Davies - well that'll change and one evening after Darwin returned from a meeting where she was supposed to sign a contract with mr. Weinstein. Let's hear now Lincoln Davies describe how we remembered that evening and we should say that although they were fiance's back at that time and they're no longer. They're no longer together. We split up and I think 2008 2009. Yeah. So remember this is actors re reading verbatim testimony. People are written on told us how much they love this podcast how really bring this it's the best way of finding out what's going on in the courtroom. So please if you liked it give us a rating on podcasts. It's very important. It makes other people look at the at the podcast that drives listeners. It's one way of making sure this story gets around the world. So please give it a Waiting it's a huge help. So let's write a comment and the comment we read all the comments. So let's let's hear this exchange now between Megan Hast and Lincoln Davies are both what happened on that and that fateful evening. During the time you were living with Don in that 2004. Do you recall a night Don returned home from a meeting with Harvey Weinstein? Yes, when you use the word dressing-gown, can you describe what you mean by that? Well, like a bathrobe. Can you describe Don's effect and demeanor when she came home from that meeting. She was pretty shocked upset angry like kind of overall polled. I would say And did she show any sort of physical emotion? Yeah, like it was an arc of emotion that was with the anger and stuff like that. But eventually you just kind of like probably spoke about it for half an hour. And at that meeting did she tell you that Harvey Weinstein had met her at the door of a hotel room in a dressing gown? Yes. Do you recall about how she was physically how she was Was physically at that time she ended up crying. After that time, did you go to any further Weinstein Company events? Yeah. Did you ever see the defendant again? No. Sorry. Did you ever see Harvey Weinstein again? No again strong enough testimony, you know for a man off but I'm backing up some of what dawned on me had said in her testimony yesterday, but Lincoln Davies is testimony had a few fatal weakness and in that he couldn't remember the year or even the time of the year. That these events happened and he revealed, you know, even more importantly he revealed. She had not told them about a very serious sexual assault that she had said had occurred before this meeting where she alleges Harvey Weinstein put his hand up her skirt violently in a hotel suite and Soho New York. So let's hear Damon sure onus Weinstein's variable defense lawyer examine the weaknesses and mr. Davies evidence and as you here, but yeah Mr. D. This is kind of funny actually because I mr. Turtle jumped in a very relaxed attitude to his questioner and he sort of caught I think mr. Stroh has somewhat obvious art because there's a lot of tension on the courtroom and it was a lot of animosity between the witnesses and the the lawyers and this was sort of caught. Mr. Charan us off guard. So let's hear and it also this questioning brought out something mrs. Dunham is done in the very strong personality and how she's a take-no-prisoners. Altitude which contradicts the prosecution's strategy and theory about this gear. So let's hear that exchange. Good morning. Mr. Davies. How are you? Mate? I'm all right. How are you? Good. Thanks. When did you meet Don Dunning? Like light very light. Mm Ellie 2001. I believe that you testified to an evening when Miss Dunning came home and she was upset. Yes about how long had you been dating her from the time you I first met her until the time she came home upset three full years. Did you live with her? Yes. When did you move in with Miss Dunning pretty quick probably within like maybe under a year and obviously you moved in with her. She was your girlfriend. You were very close with her. Yes. Strong-willed person Miss Dunning I would say so yeah you say so she does not take a lot of Guff depends on who we just coming from. Okay fair enough strong-willed with Of course and Miss Dunning worked at p.m. And she also wanted to be an actress. You have to say yes. Randy has to take this down. That was an aspiration of Miss Dunning. Yes. Through the time that you met Don done and you learned at some point she became acquainted with Harvey Weinstein. Correct at that time is Dunning was excited about the prospect of having a connection to a well-known producer. Isn't that fair to say? Yes, you learned over time that Miss Dunning new. Mr. Weinstein. She would go to Miramax and do screen tests a contra Cole actually going to any screen tests. Possibly. She could have gone to do screen test at Miramax pull. Bleep. Yeah, and you yourself went to some event sponsored by mr. Weinstein, correct? Yes. You got tickets to go see the producers. Do you remember if mr. Weinstein was there I shook his hand that day. Yeah, and I think you also testified maybe you didn't did you go to Whoopi Goldberg's birthday with mr. Weinstein and Dawn keynote. Remember that and you told the members of the jury a night in 2004 When Miss Dunning came home she was Upset yes, and she told you as what the state said there was an incident where mr. Weinstein opened the door in a dressing gown or bathrobe. Yes. Do you remember talking to miss Dunning before she went to that meeting with mr. Weinstein a bit? What about the fact that she was going there to potentially sign contracts? Yeah. I did was she excited about it. Of course, she was excited about it because it was her dream to become an actress fair to say and she knew she was going to meet with Harvey Weinstein. Yes. She did not ask you to come with her for her protection. No didn't have or showed you any fear about the fact that she was going to meet with Harvey Weinstein. Did she know? She did not seem upset about the fact that she was going to meet with Harvey Weinstein. Yeah, didn't tell you mr. Weinstein ever been inappropriate to her before correct. In fact when Miss Dunning went to this meeting where she came back earlier, her attitude was completely different later, right? Yes. She was very excited before she went. Yes. Well, I would not say very excited. She was yeah looking forward to it looking forward to it because this may be the culmination of her dream to be in a movie, right? As her boyfriend were you her fiance at that point? No as her boyfriend. She confided things and you he is trusted you I hope so you trusted her. Yes. Your relationship with Miss Dunning was the type of relationship where she would tell you things. Correct, correct. So I want to go back again for one second to before that point when she went to mr. Weinstein Hotel excited. Yeah, you did not detect anything wrong with Miss Dunning before she went there. Correct. Nothing wrong with her now and Miss Dunning never told you that before maybe a few weeks before going to that meeting where she was going to sign a contract that mr. Weinstein had put his hand up her skirt. She know she never told me that she never told you she was afraid of Harvey Weinstein. Did she know? She never told you she was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein before she went to sign those contracts. Did she correct? She was excited to go to the hotel that day. Yes when she came home. It is your testimony. She was upset, right? Yes. Now, when did you and Miss Dunning? Stop dating 2009. Maybe you are aware Miss Dunning made some movies after that time. She came home from mr. Weinstein, right? Yeah. Are you still friendly with Miss Dunning? I mean we speak cordially and stuff like that, but I'm not constantly in contact with it. But the fact you at one point were in a significant relationship with her you at least know she made a few movies after that night where she came home upset, right? I don't know that a few movies. I would say the only one I recall is was one movie. What movie was that? I have no idea what it was cold. Thank you one question. Do you know if she got paid for that movie? She did not get paid. Again, not the strongest witness for the prosecution. No confirming the aftermath of something that actually isn't a crime an Indecent Proposal is not a crime and admitting that his girlfriend had failed to tell him about an actual crime by the same person earlier than this incident. In fact, it was a quite a bit of legal argument whether mr. Davies should have given evidence at all, you know this whole Mall new rule, you know, they were saying the mall in the witness is bad enough, but then vague witness to back up among the witness is really prejudicial, but he was allowed to give evidence but not sure he did a lot of harm to mr. Weinstein. So then we heard from Maurizio Ferrigno. Who was the manager of cipriani's Upstairs Lounge. This is this Lounge we talked about it yesterday is this very exclusive part of the Cipriani restaurant in downtown UPS, you know, where where you you know, I think it's all a members-only sort of situation. I think it's basically that the owners brownies, you know has sort of special guests that get to Up there and stuff. So it's all very exclusive and at 11 a.m. The fire escape comes down the metal fire. Oh, yeah, they showed that swap the metal fire escape. It's all very exclusive and very very underground, you know, so mr. Again to just remember then so, mr. Ferrigno that we're going to hear from isn't, you know, he's talking about taralli wolf another one of Harvey Weinstein's alleged victims. She was a cocktail waitress in the venue, and she said she would later upstairs by Weinstein to a darkened Terrace strewn with building materials. Where she alleges he started masturbating in front of her she says it was obvious what he's doing by the movement of the shirt in the end. Mr. Ferrigno a little to the story in my opinion and his description of his wolves personality showing her to be strong will dented again dented the prosecution's theory that she was easily bullied and in one of these easily manipulated victims of Weinstein's malevolent. So let's hear from mr. Ferrigno. He's been questioned by assistant District Attorney Megan Hast. Let's hear that Good morning. Where are you? Currently living? I'm living on the upper west side in the Manhattan. What are you do for a living? I'm a driver for a union. Where were you born and raised? I was born in Italy in a town called Genoa.

I was what were you doing for him during that period 2004 to 2005 at the time. I was the manager of the cheap Rihanna Upstairs Lounge. Where was that Upstairs Lounge located? It was located above the chip Rihanna downtown. The restaurant which was 376 West Broadway between broom and spring. Can you just describe the lounge Lounge was an upscale private club mostly for mr. Jeopardy and then his friends and we had membership and it was very upscale in the beginning. We had a lot of celebrities coming. It was a place of very exclusive. What were your duties and responsibilities. There was a managing the front of the floor. And the front of the house meaning I was a managing the restaurant floor and the staff and making sure the members the the customers were happy. Was there something called an owner's table in the lounge? Yes. Can you just describe what that was? The understable was a table where the friends of the owner or the owner or guest of the friends of the owner? They would come and see it. It was the only table facing the entire Club. Do you know somebody named taralli wolf? Yes, I do ma'am. How do you know taralli? She was one of the cocktail waitresses working at the club? And how long did you work with taralli? I believe she came looking for a job and she started working since 2006 2006. Do you recall specifically the time period she worked with you. I think it was between 2006 and 2008 how long Did she work with you? I'm not sure. Can you describe trolley? Yes, she was a tall model like girl very she was a very attractive and very eager to work and she fit the profile for working as a cocktail waitress. I'm going to show you what is in evidence as people's exhibit 12. Do you recognize people's exhibit 12? Yes who is in that photograph to rally on the left? And then it is me. Can you describe her personality or she was a very bubbly? Very shoe. She was a very nice person. Do you know someone named Harvey Weinstein? Yes, I do. How do you know Harvey Weinstein? He was a friend of the owner. Did he come to The Upstairs Lounge on occasion? He would where would he sit usually will cheaply on it is stable. Did you ever see Harvey Weinstein with taralli? Yes, can you describe what you recall about that? I was going from the restaurant to the club and I remember seeing them on the left side having a conversation going up stairs going up the stairs. Yes. And do you recall who was in front going up the stairs? I don't remember. Did you look at Trolley as she was going up the stairs it briefly. Do you recall what her demeanor was like, I don't I didn't. see any specific demeanor What did you do? I went back to the club because I have the ear piece and I have a radio on me all the time and they would call me back and forth downstairs. So I am always on the Move. Do you recall seeing taralli or Harvey Weinstein return to the club? I remember yes. Did you have any conversation with taralli? No, I didn't. You know, I Brief Encounter on the stairs and did of the problem with this is that from trolleys wolves ever. And the day before and actually even from the prosecutors opening statement, there was this almost cinematic scene where she was been laid off to her Doom by this evil man, and that the manager looked up and they locked eyes and then the manager just come up with that close close the door close the door almost like the way it was the way it appeared to be told that story. It almost sounded like those something kind of almost conspiratorial the kind of you know that they so it's a classic movie scene, right? You catch someone's eyes as your you know in serious trouble and they look at you and realize and then they closed the door and the first rule of Journalism that I've learned over 25 years. Whatever is if it sounds like a movie that people people who lie they often lie and make it so make it more dramatic or try to make a dramatic scene. Yes, they make it like a movie because that's what they that's what they know. They've seen the movie. So there are very often if you hear someone one of those hoax hate crimes if it's ever like a movie. Then you know that they made it up. But then so then he give evidence today and in no way confirmed all this drama, right? He just says he saw him go upstairs and that's it. And that was it. He said he doesn't remember when it happened. He can't even remember the year and he didn't notice any change in her demeanor either when she came back down. So we went from this limited evidence of to mr. Ferrigno being cross-examined by Damon shrillness for Harvey Weinstein and mr. Ferrigno was unable to tell the year or even the time of the year when he saw this, you know her go up the stairs and all of that. At and mr. Charan is hinted that the testimony may have been prompted by an animosity between his him and his old employers or or there was and worse. They there was a suggestion that perhaps that this memory had become more Crystal because he's been coached by the prosecution. So we'll hear that again that piece of evidence and as you'll notice. Mr. Mauricio frig know is them a foreign gentleman. Yes, and that's had a strong quite a strong act. Yes. He's been living in Manhattan over and over 40 years and boy you have not. His axe, and we know that if we know plenty of Irish people who are like that exactly some of them sitting around this table and they die. So just wanted to say if you like what we do here. We're we need help we need we're asking for your funding and your help and it's tax-deductible. We have it. We have a 501 c 3 and C unreported story Society.com so-called report that story society-dot- complex, but you can thank you. So that's here Damon shrillness question more wheat CEO Ferrigno about his What he remembers aren't that dramatic supposedly dramatic evening. Mr. Ferrigno. Were you fired from cipriani's? I beg your pardon. Were you fired from cipriani's? I was let go. Why were you let go they hired a new manager? No management, they did renovation and the new management came in. No other reason a friend of the owner. No accusations were made against you know, okay. Now you told the members of the jury that Miss Wolfe started working at cipriani's in 2006, right? I think yes until 2008 I believe so. So and how long did you work at cipriani's 404 since we opened the club in 2003 from 2003 to 2009. He talked about the upstairs portion of cipriani's was it also known as the place where people would go to hook up at cipriani's? No, sir. No, no. No, sir. Now you testified that you remember one incident where mr. Weinstein and Miss wolf went up a flight of stairs, right? Excuse me. They went upstairs. Yes. When was that? I don't remember a specific period what year was it? I don't know the exact time. What time of year was it? Was it summer was it was it fall? I don't recall. What was mr. Weinstein wearing a suit. Are you guessing or are you saying it was a suit I am saying it usually a suit usually a suit do you remember? Specifically if he was wearing a suit the day you saw him walk up the stairs with Miss Wolfe. No, sir. What was Miss wolf wearing cocktail waitress attire. Would she wear that all the time when she worked there? That's correct. And what were you doing at the time when you saw mr. Weinstein and Miss Wolfe walk up the flight of stairs. I was going to the restaurant throughout you have to go from the from the restaurant you go inside of the club and there was nothing unusual about that that struck you in your mind not at the time, okay. And yet fifteen years later you talk to the DA in this case, right? Yes, sir. Okay, and you hadn't talked to anybody about that going up the stairs before the da reached out to you in November of last year, right? That's correct. Okay and 15 years later. You remember that you saw mr. Weinstein and Miss Wolfe walk up the stairs. Is that what you were telling this jury? Yes. Okay, and when you sat down to talk with the DA they told you that they wanted to ask you questions about Miss. Wolf didn't they? Yes, they told you that they wanted to ask you about questions with Miss wolf and mr. Weinstein, right? That's correct. And they told you that Miss wolf had they had said that she went upstairs with mr. Weinstein didn't they? Yes, and it was then was it these prosecutors here? That's correct. It was when these prosecutors here told you that Miss wolf had said she was upstairs with mr. Weinstein that you remembered you saw it. Eight. Yes. Mr. Ferrigno you met with the prosecutors in November of 2019. That's correct. When you met with them, they told you that Miss Wolfe was making an allegation that her and mr. Weinstein went upstairs at cipriani's. Correct? Yes. It was after they told you that that you said oh, I remember seeing that happen. Correct? Yes only did they tell you anything else about what Miss Wolfe said happen when they were upstairs. No, sir, and isn't it true that when you first talked to them in November of 2019? You didn't remember that isn't that true? No, they had to jog your memory didn't they? Didn't they know so you just 15 years after the fact remembered this random walk up a flight of stairs, right? It wasn't unusual to people to have a conversation will go up there. I am not asking you about what's your usual or unusual? You just testified to the jury you specifically remember? Mr. Weinstein walking up a flight of stairs with Miss wolf, correct, correct. Do you even remember that? Yes, and you remembered of that after they told you miss Wolfe was making that allegation, correct? Yes, so then mr. Ferrigno was I asked about Miss Wolfe personality and you know this brings up again this recurring sort of theme through the trial, you know part of the prosecution strategy is that mr. Weinstein was a predator preying on the vulnerable. And in fact, he's actually charged with being a sexual predator a charge that could land him in prison for the rest of his life. Well, that's not really how mr. Ferrigno remembers Miss Wolfe. She was well capable apparently of standing up for herself and others so Going to hear from mr. Ferrigno right now describe to damage rollers how she lost her job actually at the club for standing up for others. Let's hear that now. And you talked about Miz wolf being a sweet person, right? Yes. Miss Wolfe was fired from cipriani's, correct. I believe she was working at ship Rihanna's at some point. She was fired though, right? She was taken off the schedule. Do you remember getting into an argument with Ms. Wolf? Because she tried to intervene on behalf of one of her friends who had gotten into a fight at cipriani's. Yes and her friend got into a fight at cipriani's and Miz wolf wouldn't stand for it. Got upset that's correct. And she confronted you didn't she yes. She wasn't a Wallflower. Well, she she wasn't someone who wouldn't stick up for herself. She was upset. Okay, and when she was upset, she said something to you. Yes. She said she wasn't going to stand for that didn't she? Yes and her friend got into a fight at Cipriani and Miss wolf wouldn't stand for it. She got upset. Yes. She spoke up about it, didn't she she did yes, and she had no problem speaking up to you about About something like that. Did she know and you are a big guy aren't you? It doesn't matter. Did she get in your face about it? She did she was she was upset about some instance the episode whatever happened between her and another girl. She vocalized that to you didn't she? Yes, she did she did didn't she yes, and she vocalize it in a way where she raised her voice. Yes. We're she got mad, right? Yes, and it was because of that that No longer works at cipriani's. Am I right? No, she did work. After that. There was a break though in between the time that she got upset walked out and then came back, correct? Yes, so not a great day for either side really today and I think that's probably why the dispensed with these Witnesses so quickly and it ended at lunchtime. So we're lunchtime. Yeah, so kind of a 0-0 kind of score there and I wonder it is 0 0 score who wins, you know. You would think that Harvey Weinstein would win but you know, there's a lot of cumulative evidence not accumulative Witnesses and maybe you know, maybe the maybe that 0 0 is not what he needs. He needs to get a few wins. I mean to be honest. There were a few other Witnesses today Monica Mickelson who was there for she give evidence for about 15 minutes? They she was the casting director for the movie Pulse which taralli will said Weinstein had used as bait to attract her to his apartment where he raped her. Miss Mickelson said the movie was actually being produced by Harvey's brother Bob and then they had no rule and casting it actors for that movie. However, she was forced to agree on the cross examination. She had no idea how the two brothers work together whether ball would accept recommendations from Harvey and she agreed was often the kids and loads of people would recommend actors to her from all walks of life and even other actors other directors just you would get recommendations. Asians coming soon he'd be really good or she'd be really good. So she'll really no point score there on that wanted to know the fact that Harvey was talking to someone she's even forced to admit that sometimes you would screen test an actress for one roll but offer her another. So again, no no point scored there then they had they called lawyer deaths and from the law firm both Schiller and he confirmed that on Weinstein's behalf. They had hired this mysterious Israeli company called Black Cube, and I used mysterious inverted commas to It's women who are making sexual allegations against Harvey Weinstein and this is before all the reports came out in the New York around New York Times would again didn't didn't do much for me. I think the jury will agree you're perfectly allowed. It's perfectly acceptable to legally investigate people who are making serious allegations about you and I don't think anyone there suggested that they done anything illegal. Exactly. Exactly. So yeah, so quite quite yeah quite again a quite a short day which was which was kind of great. But tomorrow is going to be a really big day and tomorrow we're going to hear from the substantial accuser which is Jessica man. So the two, you know that you know in the end there are all these other Witnesses, but the ones that we count the only two that really count are the ones that are accusing him of one of one of rape and one of sexual assault and that Jessica man and Miriam heylia, so the tomorrow is Jessica Yes, Miriam Haley just man they are the only ones he's been criminally charged with criminal assault in them. There are four other kinds of sexual assault, but they're to make up this wider predatory charge which know it's a controversial charge. So it's the prosecution need to score big tomorrow because you know, this is a major Witnesses and major accuser and you remember we talked about Jessica man before so she is described as from a dairy farm in Washington. They mentioned this dairy farm a lot and also that she was brought up in The Evangelical Church, which I think they mean I mean, I don't think she was actually brought up in the actual church, but they mentioned that a lot and I think it's probably you know, you can imagine that that's actually trying to characterize her in a very specifically innocent kind of wave Sound of Music playing nothing but we've had you know, we have heard we've had a kind of a preview and you know in the opening statements of things that have been discovered in Discovery about Jessica, man, and you know, and we were you know, it's there's a lot there and it's some it's going to be interesting. In cross-examination is going to be very interesting of Jessica and obviously, you know, the prosecution understand and know that you know, there is this correspondence this sizable amount of Correspondence, you know from her to Harvey Weinstein where she finishes all her emails saying lots of love where she want them to meet hasn't her mother and all of this sort of stuff. Do you know what we call that describes herself as his casual boyfriend know we heard that an opening argument then finally, we've heard some things and opening argument that didn't then come out during evidence. So You can never believe in opening argument. Basically, they can say what they want but it's all about evidence and it's all about testimony and talking of testimony. We're going to have a very special guest in the podcast Studio on Tuesday. We won't say who it is will tell you tomorrow who it is, but someone very close to the Weinstein Camp who's in court every day and they're going to tell us what the thinking is in the wines in cap and perhaps what we're thinking is with Harvey Weinstein. So let's be sure to tune in on Day, and we hope later on the podcast of people close to the prosecution camper close to the other side to hear how they feel the kiss is going. You know, we want we really want this to be a fair podcast looking at all sides people have criticized us for being skeptical. I see on the comments but on please do go and read as and leave a comment yourself, but as journalists, that's what we got to do. We got to be skeptical. We got of Stand Back From the Mob and ask No, where is the evidence of the squares the truth for this so we will be were skeptical. Of course. It's the only hearing the prosecution case nicer were skeptical of the prosecution case when the defense gives comes we're going to be equally skeptical of that as well. So that's what we do. That's what journalists do if you're reading journalism. That's not skeptical and there's a lot of non skeptical journalism about this case. Well, then it's not real journalism.

In today's testimony we heard from several  witnesses who were brought to bolster the claims of the testimony from Dawn Dunning and Tarale Wulff. We first heard from Australian Lincoln Davies, the former fiance of Dawn Dunning. Davies explains how they were invited to lavish parties through Dunning's connection to Weinstein. He also recounts Dunning's shock when Weinstein allegedly asked her for a threesome. However his testimony came under attack when he said he couldn't remember the year or even the time of the year of the alleged incident. He further revealed that she had not told him about the very serious sexual assault that she says had occurred before this meeting where she alleges Harvey Weinstein put his hand violently up her skirt - in a hotel suite in Manhattan. Then we heard from Mauricio Ferrigno who was the manager of Cipriani's Upstairs lounge where Tarale Wulff was a cocktail waitress. She says she was led upstairs by Weinstein in the restaurant to a darkened terrace strewn with building materials where she alleges he assaulted her. He said he saw them on the stairs but saw nothing untoward.
