"The only reasonably prudent decision would be to stop this chaos now," Brafman wrote, urging Judge James Burke to dismiss the case at a Dec. 20 court hearing. Prosecutors dropped part of the case in October after evidence surfaced that a detective coached a witness. The two other charges allege that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on another woman in 2006 at his Manhattan apartment. Such testimony can be powerful in a sexual assault case. He is no longer involved in the Weinstein case.
