New podcast episode dropped -- Arthur Aidala for Harvey Weinstein

 


FOR THE DEFENSE, BONUS EPISODE:
Arthur Aidala for Harvey Weinstein

For the Defense is back with a bonus episode, and I think you're going to really like this one.  I sit down with Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer, Arthur Aidala, for a fascinating look at how the defense strategy evolved from Weinstein’s first trial to his retrial. Arthur is one of the most charismatic and colorful defense lawyers in the country. From cross-examining a complaining witness about faking an orgasm to weaving a story about glass in his mother’s pasta sauce, Arthur brings his signature flair to the courtroom—and to this conversation.

As always, you can catch this and other episodes on the web or on every podcast platform, including Apple and Spotify. I've also put the raw video on YouTube so you can watch if that's what you prefer.  Please subscribe to the YouTube channel here. (At the bottom of this post is a short clip of Arthur recounting a portion of his closing).

I'll have some other episodes coming soon.  In the meantime, I would really appreciate it if you could take a second and leave a review and spread the word about the podcast.

Finally, If you have a friend that would like to receive these updates, please have them sign up here.

Thank you! --David

Excellent episode; Arthur is fantastic, a true New York trial lawyer. Thank you for bringing this to us.

Hey David and federal bloggers. Please go to my blog and read about Greg Gonzalez and help out. It’s a very worthy cause. I never promote my blog here. But this can really make a difference in the life of a man who has helped so many and now needs our help. Thanks.

David—are your podcasts (which are marvelous!) still eligible for CLE credits? I recall they were a few years ago. Thanks for your continuing service on the blog and pods, and for your bottomless well of creativity.

Thanks for the nice note. I really appreciate it. The old seasons were eligible. I think most of them have expired by now. I re-upped the early ones a couple of times but haven't done so in a while. I will apply for credit once I finish doing a group of episodes for this season. Unfortunately, this season won't be every other week like in the past.

But he lost. No points for coming in second

Wrong. Show me a criminal defense attorney who wins even half his trials and I will show you a criminal defense attorney who has tried only two cases.

Will be posting a link to this Monday morning. Thanks for alerting me to it.
