NEW YORK (AP) – An attorney for Harvey Weinstein says new charges against the movie mogul show prosecutors “are desperate.” Defense attorney Donna Rotunno spoke on Monday after Weinstein pleaded guilty in a Manhattan courtroom. Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents Weinstein accusers, said she wondered why the defense is “so afraid of having additional witnesses testify.” Prosecutors say a new indictment was needed to lay the legal foundation for “Sopranos” actress Annabella Sciorra (shee-OR’-uh) to testify against Weinstein. She claims he raped her in 1993. Weinstein’s trial is being pushed back to January. He denies all accusations of non-consensual sex.
