Weinstein Trial
AP -- Prosecutors are giving their closing arguments today at Harvey Weinstein's rape trial. After a lengthy defense closing yesterday, prosecutors are looking to focus the jury's attention back on the accusers who testified and their harrowing accounts of sexual assault. Prosecutors must also answer some of the defense's claims about the case. They say the two women Weinstein is charged with attacking were opportunists, who willingly latched onto the once-powerful man and used sex with him because they thought it would help their careers.
