LOS ANGELES – Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers are seeking to grill five new accusers before they can testify against him at his rape and sexual assault trial, which a judge on Friday said would begin October 10. Weinstein attorney Mark Werksman filed a motion requesting access to the accusers Thursday, and likened the interviews he wants to conduct to five “mini-trials” that will allow him to weed out “disputed facts” before the women are allowed to take the stand against the convicted sex abuser.“We asked the judge to have a hearing on each one of those witnesses to determine whether their testimony was credible enough to go before the jury,” Werksman told reporters outside of Los Angeles Superior Court following a pre-trial hearing in the case Friday.
