Cocaine possession trial set for actress Mcgowan
Actress and activist Rose Mcgowan will stand trial in January on a charge of felony cocaine possession in Virginia.
News outlets reported Mcgowan’s trial was set on Tuesday, a day after she was indicted. She’ll be tried on Jan. 15.
Charging documents say cocaine was found in a wallet Mcgowan left on a plane last year. Mcgowan has maintained she’s innocent, suggesting in court papers that the drugs were planted at the behest of producer Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein attorney Ben Brafman called that allegation a “ludicrous claim.”
