The increasingly chaotic case against disgraced mega-producer Harvey Weinstein has added a new level of intrigue: The Manhattan District Attorney’s office told prosecutors that the lead detective on the case instructed one of the alleged victims to delete messages from her phone before turning it over and promised to hide that fact from the DA.
Less than a week after the DA dropped part of the case against Weinstein after evidence emerged that a police detective had “coached a witness to stay silent about evidence that cast doubt on the account one of his three accusers,” NBC New York reports, the DA’s office sent a letter to Weinstein’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, raising more concerns about the detective’s handling of the case.
