kevin spacey�*s lawyer said.he implication was that they were doing it for the money all of the men denied that although some said that there would potentially be a civil claim made. could be a civil claim made. but it was certainly a thought that in the juror�*s mind the potentially this was all about money. the prosecution were very adamant that this was a pattern of behaviour on kevin spacey�*s part. that he had, if the men were to be believed, continued this sexually aggressive behaviour therapy area of almost ten years. as i say, thejury have now come back and found him, mr spacey, not guilty of any of the charges. mr spacey had a similar case in america at the end of last year which also found that the case against him was not proven. i should save, that when these allegations first surveys in 2017, the old vic which was the theatre where mr spacey worked, they launch their own investigation because they were obviously terribly of worried about the number of allegations that were coming out. at that time, 2

both witnesses say they spoke to kevin spacey on this day and said he acted normal, he seemed fine. alcohol, she said absolutely not, and if he had i would have noted and they both made the point to say there was no privacy in that territory at all. when cross—examined by the prosecution, one of the witnesses, the prosecution put it to them that both witnesses wouldn't have known exactly what was happening all the time, this is a very busy theatre, there was lots going on. earlier in there was lots going on. earlier in the day we heard from kevin spacey himself who was cross examined by christine agnew kc and there seemed to be a lot of tension between the two. at times the judge had to interrupt and tell kevin spacey to answer some of the questions. beginning her cross—examination, the prosecution questioned mr spacey on what she called a macro to grab. she asked him if it was his trademark move. —— crotch grab. he said he may have touched one of the accusers but it was gentle and would not have been a grab. the prosecutor also turned to allegations from another man questioning why

kevin spacey, spacey just laughed. kevin spacey, as spaceyjust laughed.er deeply hurt by the claims from this particular wetness, and this afternoon, what happened was patrick gibbs casey, who is kevin spacey�*s barrister, set out to undermine quite a lot of what the witness had said in his police interview. he questioned the app accuracy, the timing of some of his claims, he also suggested that the claimant was here for any potential when in damages. he said you saw a bandwagon and decided to hop on it. is one of the highlights of the uk sporting calendar and it started today. the next fortnight, wimbledon will be running with the defending men's singles champion novak djokovic. opening proceedings on centre court today. let's head to wimbledon. so, it is under way in terms of what has been on the courts, just take us through it. matthew, it's been eventful on day one. these championships feel like they are back to normal now. two years ago, think of covid restrictions, no russian or belarusian players, which meant no daniil medvedev, or victoria sabalen

his manauer has been with kevin spacey?ing with him and then of course his legal team who have been very bullish throughout this trial and have been defending him to the hilt, so that is the main support team he has around him. and there will be no doubt i imagine that he will want to thank those people in particular...— people in particular... here he comes. people in particular... here he comes- 0k. — people in particular... here he comes. ok, here _ people in particular... here he comes. ok, here we _ people in particular... here he comes. ok, here we go. - people in particular... here he i comes. ok, here we go. graham, people in particular... here he - comes. ok, here we go. graham, thank ou for comes. ok, here we go. graham, thank you for that. — comes. ok, here we go. graham, thank you for that. i — comes. ok, here we go. graham, thank you for that, i will _ comes. ok, here we go. graham, thank you for that, i will pick _ comes. ok, here we go. graham, thank you for that, i will pick up _ comes. ok, here we go. graha

he described being drugged by kevin spacey.hat was his allegation against this award-winning actor and said that oral sex was performed on him without his consent. again, these are just absolutely horrifying and riveting tales. the prosecutor in this case, brought these cases to life, brought them to a juror of 12. what the issue is when you're looking at these cases is that this jury needed to find kevin spacey guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and that seems to be the conclusion, of course, with them now finding him not guilty of any of these charges that that was not the case, dating back to these charges. some of them again, nearly 20 years old and very little physical evidence there. it really became a matter of he said-he said in court with the prosecutor trying to paint the picture of a powerful actor in a great position of influence. of course, kevin spacey, as the artistic director of the old victor -- of the old vick, rather, who tried to take advantage of that position, and kevin spacey and his lawyers hit back and s

we understand the verdicts are happening right now in the trial of the actor and director kevin spaceycourt. thank you. just in the last couple of minutes we have been getting information from my colleagues inside court. this is the trial of kevin spacey, the a—list celebrity hollywood actor who won micro two macro oscars is a fake series of films and he has been on trial here for the last month facing sex offence allegations, nine in total from a four different men and what we have it so far as he has been found not guilty on eight of those charges and guilty on the final charge. so i'm just going to run through that for you just very briefly. the charges, there are seven charges of sexual assault which are that kevin spacey intentionally touched one of the complainants, the touching was sexual and nonconsensual. as i say, he has been found not guilty of eight of those charges, but my colleagues inside court are saying that he has been found guilty of the final charge, sol that he has been found guilty of the final charge, so i am just going to give you the details of that final charg

we heard testimony from another alleged victim who says he was in a car with kevin spacey, when kevin spacey violently tried to grab his groin and the car almost went off the road. in his defense, kevin spacey said he wasn't on a suicide mission to do something like this. ultimately, chris, what this is going to boil down to, is the jury going to believe kevin spacey or the plaintiffs in this case? this is going to go on for probably another two weeks when the case first started, the judge said this will take four to five weeks. we're past the halfway mark now, and this is going to be the defense's opportunity to try and exonerate kevin spacey. >> ali arouzi, thank you for that. >>> it's the question much of the country is asking, how long is this miserable weather going to last? nbc news meteorologist bill karins is here, and, bill, how bad is it going to be this weekend? it doesn't look great. >> we're passing along e-mails in our weather unit discussing the all time records on our planet, and if we have a chance of getting near them or breaking them this weekend. that's not exactly

, and jack lemon's son was here saying kevin spacey was a very standup, decent character. ly the jury believed kevin spaceyand the people that gave evidence on his behalf and not the complainants. we haven't mentioned any of the names of the complainants because that's why in this country, they're entitled to anonymity for life. so if the media or any other members of the public were to mention them, that would be a criminal offense. so we'll never know who the complainants were because they have anonymity, but for kevin spacey i think that's not very important now. he's made it very clear that he wants to get on with his career. he said before this trial that he expected to be exonerated and then embark again on his career. but you know, this has been an extremely h profile trial. there have been a lot of opinions about this. you know, it's going to be difficult nonetheless for him going forward. >> we will obviously continue to monitor what's next. ali arouzi, thank you very much. again, the breaking news out of london, kevin spacey found not guilty on all charges. we are
