"A dramatic day of testimony wrapping up the second week in Harvey Weinstein’s MeToo retrial. Miriam Haley, the first of three accusers taking the witness stand, cursed and cried as she was asked about the details of an encounter where she says Harvey Weinsteen forcibly performed oral sex on her at his apartment in New York in 2006. Haley telling a defense lawyer, ‘he is the one who raped me, not the other way around.’"

"The lawyer objected to that testimony, saying that – that is something that the jury must decide. It’s a legal conclusion. Haley said, this is her experience, this is how she feels. She then uttered expletives and left the stand as the judge called for a short recess."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Mike Sisak, The Associated Press:
"Weinstein has pleaded not guilty. He denies any sexual misconduct and says any encounters were consensual. Weinstein’s lawyers sought to portray Miriam Haley as somebody who was using Harvey Weinstein for professional gain, flying across the country on his dime, going to fancy parties, hanging out with A-list celebrities."

"Haley said it was difficult for her to come back to testify again at a trial against Weinstein. She was on the stand at his first trial in 2020. Weinstein was convicted in that case, but that conviction was overturned last year by an appeals court, leading to this new trial. In addition to Haley, Harvey Weinstein is accused of raping a woman, Jessica Mann, in 2013. And he is also accused of forcibly performing oral sex on another woman, Kaja Sokola in 2006. Jurors are expected to hear from both of those women in the coming weeks.

STORYLINE:
One of Harvey Weinstein ‘s accusers broke down in tears and cursed on the witness stand Friday as a defense lawyer questioned her account of the former Hollywood mogul forcing oral sex on her nearly two decades ago.

“He was the one who raped me, not the other way around,” Miriam Haley told jurors.

“That is for the jury to decide,” Weinstein lawyer Jennifer Bonjean responded.

“No, it’s not for the jury to decide. It’s my experience. And he did that to me,” Haley said, using expletives as tears began streaming down her face.
