Harvey Weinstein’s defense team kicked off their case Thursday afternoon, calling a former friend of Annabella Sciorra’s to undermine her allegation that the producer raped her in the early 1990s.

The prosecution rested its case in the trial of Harvey Weinstein on Thursday after more than two weeks of testimony from six women who allege the disgraced movie mogul sexually assaulted them.
