Weinstein's Lawyers Trying To Get Case 'Dismissed'

Channel24.co.za reports Harvey Weinstein's lawyers are making a new attempt to get the New York sexual assault case against him dismissed. The former Hollywood producer's attorneys say in a court filing Monday his indictment was "irreparably tainted by police misconduct," among other problems. Weinstein's attorneys want a dismissal — or a hearing on what they call "the extent of the misconduct." Weinstein was originally charged with assaulting three women. A charge involving one woman was dismissed after prosecutors said a detective advised a witness to suppress doubts concerning whether that alleged encounter was consensual.
