During the trial, which included the testimonies of Mia Farrow and others, it was proved that the alleged scene at the famous New York restaurant Elaine's could not possibly have taken place on the date given, because Polanski only dined at this restaurant three weeks later.
Tijekom suđenja, koje je počelo 18. srpnja 2005., tvrdilo se da se navodna scena u slavnom njujorškom restoranu Elaine's nije mogla dogoditi tog dana, budući da je Polanski u tom restoranu ručao tri tjedna kasnije.
