Weinstein accuser makes defiant 'look at me' gesture at mogul in NYC court following tearful testimony detailing alleged rape
Briefly

Former actress Jessica Mann courageously testified against Harvey Weinstein in a New York courtroom, detailing her alleged rape experiences in both Beverly Hills and Midtown hotel rooms. During her testimony, Mann engaged in a powerful moment, urging Weinstein to acknowledge her. Despite defense attorney Arthur Aidala's call for a mistrial based on Mann's behavior, the judge declined the request. Mann's testimony included the disturbing revelation of a drug needle attributed to Weinstein, raising further questions about the incidents in question. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to current charges during his sex crimes retrial.
The dramatic 'look at me' gesture by Jessica Mann came after she wrenchingly detailed to a Manhattan courtroom an alleged rape by Weinstein at a Beverly Hills hotel.
Mann's reaction didn't even come close to grounds for a mistrial - and the judge agreed, denying Aidala's bid.
She testified that after the attack she found an erection-inducing drug needle apparently used by Weinstein in a hotel room's garbage can with a puzzling label.
Weinstein bizarrely made gurgling sounds as his defense attorney argued for a mistrial, which was ultimately denied by the judge.
