Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterA limousine driver testified on Wednesday about working for Harvey Weinstein, making him the first witness to take the stand for the producer’s upcoming Los Angeles trial.Alfred “Freddy” Baroth was called to testify early because L.A. prosecutors worry that his health could prevent him from appearing at the trial, which has not been scheduled and remains at least several months away.Baroth’s testimony referred largely to trip records and invoices that established Weinstein’s presence in the city on various dates in 2010 and 2013. Weinstein is facing 11 counts of rape and sexual assault in incidents involving five women between 2004 and 2013.Weinstein appeared in a wheelchair, wearing a mask and a jail jumpsuit, and clutching a paperback copy of the bestselling novel “All the Light We Cannot See.” Netflix is currently adapting the book as a limited series.
Weinstein was convicted in February 2020 of counts of rape and sexual assault in New York, and is serving a 23-year sentence on those charges. He is awaiting word on an appeal of that conviction, after several justices expressed concern in December that he might not have received a fair trial.Baroth’s testimony was videotaped, presumably so that it can be shown to the jury once the trial gets underway. He testified that he had picked up Weinstein at Clay Lacy Aviation — a charter jet service based in Van Nuys — at 5:30 p.m.
on Feb. 17, 2013. Weinstein was in town for the Los Angeles, Italia Film, Fashion and Art Fest at the TCL Chinese Theatre.Baroth testified that he later took Weinstein to the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, where Weinstein often stayed while visiting Los Angeles.
