Weinstein lawyers try again to get sex assault case tossed
NEW YORK (AP) — 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 are asking for a dismissal — or a hearing on what they call "the extent of the misconduct."
The Manhattan district attorney's office hasn't immediately responded.
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.
