Judge James M. Burke denied the motion, arguing that the new charges are"next to meaningless" as far as Weinstein's criminal case in New York is concerned.
But the judge immediately denied the motion to adjourn, arguing that the new charges are "next to meaningless" as far as Weinstein's criminal case in New York is concerned. In light of the new charges, lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon asked the judge to revoke Weinstein's bail agreement and have him remanded, a motion that was also rejected.
"Put it away, now," a court officer had yelled at Weinstein shortly before the judge entered the courtroom.
