Hate writing at Brooklyn Tech

the street. Weinstein, accused of various inappropriate sexual behaviors, faces charges at this trial for the alleged sexual abuse of two New York women.

Weinstein is accused of predatory sexual assault, rape in the first-degree and third-degree, and a criminal sexual act in the Manhattan case. If convicted of the top charge, he could get life in prison.

The defense motions were sparked in part by a potential juror’s statement when she begged off sitting on the Manhattan jury.

“I have a close friend who had an encounter with defendant in his hotel room, and I do not think I can be a fair juror in this case,” said the juror, who was quickly excused. No further details about what happened were discussed, and the full remark was not audible in the courtroom when she initially spoke.

Aidala, in his Friday filing, said the start of jury selection already indicated that other potential jurors were “not candid” in answering questions; a number of others were victims or had exposure to sexual assault or domestic violence; and had virtually all heard about Weinstein and this case. At least one juror also suggested via social media that his service could be leveraged into cash, the lawyer said.

“To select a fair and impartial jury under unusual circumstances, voir dire should not be business as usual,” wrote Aidala. “This is an unusual case, with an unusual amount of media attention, to which every juror has been exposed.”

Anti-Semitic graffiti was discovered scrawled on a staircase wall at Brooklyn Tech High School Thursday afternoon, city Education Department officials said.

A school employee discovered the message reading “Kill All Jews” and a swastika scribbled in black marker on a third-floor stairwell of the 6,000-student high school in Fort Greene around 3:40 p.m. Thursday, police said.

The NYPD hate crimes task force is investigating, and cops have made no arrests, police said.

“This troubling incident was immediately reported to the NYPD, and we’re working closely with the school to support students. There’s no place for this kind of behavior in our schools, and we’re working across the city to combat anti-Semitism in all forms,” Education spokeswoman Miranda Barbot said.
