Short note from the legal beat.

Rose McGowan has been indicted in Virginia on one count of felony possession of cocaine.

Apparently, she left her wallet on an airline flight in January of 2017: when it was found, there were two “baggies” of coke inside.

Ms. McGowan’s defense: there weren’t any drugs in her wallet when she saw it last, and she thinks the drugs were planted by…

…wait for it…

…Harvey Weinstein.

I usually don’t buy the “b—h set me up” (or “b—–d set me up”) defense. And I’m unlikely to be called to sit on a jury in Virginia. And if I were called, I would listen to both sides of the case, and try to render a fair judgement based on the facts.

But: given that this is Harvey Weinstein we’re talking about, I’m more than a little inclined to throw some reasonable doubt Ms. McGowan’s way.
