Judge refuses to dismiss charge against Mcgowan
A judge on Monday refused to dismiss a drug possession charge against actress Rose Mcgowan after prosecutors said they have additional evidence to bring forward.
Mcgowan’s lawyers have suggested the drugs may have been planted by agents hired by disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein to discredit her for making sex assault accusations against him. She was charged with felony drug possession after authorities said cocaine was found in a wallet she left behind on a flight to Dulles International Airport in January 2017.
Mcgowan’s lawyer said in court papers that the drugs could have been planted before the wallet was found by a cleaning crew.
