Your Honor Weinstein started to respond.
Its a court order, Burke retorted sternly.
Dont talk to me, the judge then instructed, directing Weinstein to speak with his lawyer.
Weinstein, who sported a black suit and tie, as well as chocolate-brown sneakers, pleaded not guilty.
While his trial had been scheduled for September 9, this latest twist will delay it until January 6.
Weinstein, whose lawyers have repeatedly pushed for a postponement, seemed pleased, smiling after the proceeding wrapped.
And, at one point while walking down the hall to leave, Weinstein stuck his tongue out.
So how did Weinstein get hit with a new indictment a few weeks before his trial wassupposed to start?
Until last week, Weinstein faced one indictment.
It related to two accusers, Mimi Haleyi and a still-unidentified woman.
Prosecutors revealed in court filings earlier this year that they wanted to use Sciorras accusation in court.
Burke recently decided thatSciorra couldnt testifybecause a grand jury didnt hear evidence about the alleged incident.
Prosecutors did re-present the case to a grand jury, hence todays developments.
While Weinstein isnt charged with raping Sciorra, her claim can now be used to boost their predatory-sexual-assault allegation.
Prosecutors want to consolidate both indictments.
If that happens, they would prosecute the revamped predatory-sexual-assault counts, as well as the other charges.
She also said, We believe we will be successful in pushing for the new indictments dismissal.
Asked what Weinstein was doing with his cell phone out, Rotunno said that he was turning it off.
