Judge threatens Harvey Weinstein with jail for using cell phone on day 2 of trial
Harvey Weinstein was harshly rebuked by a New York judge on the second day of his rape trial after the judge discovered the former Hollywood mogul using his cellphone in violation of court rules.
Weinstein arrived at the courthouse Tuesday morning using a walker. When the judge entered the room, he observed Weinstein using a phone. Court staff then informed Burke that the defendant had brought three other phones into the room. To Weinstein, who reportedly looked ready to speak, the judge advised: “You might want to invoke your right to counsel in silence right now.”
