“We believe at the end of the process, Mr. Weinstein will be exonerated,” said Atty. Braffman.
Additionally, Atty. Braffman said his client did not invent the casting couch, a system where powerful men expect women to trade sexual favors to get a role in their movies.
“My job is not to defend behavior. My job is to defend something that is criminal behavior. Bad behavior, Mr. Weinstein did not invent the casting couch in Hollywood, and to the extent that there is bad behavior in that industry, that is not what this is about. Bad behavior is not on trial in this case.”
