against the Oscar winner, the criminal case now looks to be close to collapse due to a missing phone.
A sometimes freewheeling pretrial hearing today on the Massachusetts vacation island saw the accuser take the stance against self-incrimination after the ex-star’s lead defense attorney warned him that erasing evidence is a chargeable felony in the commonwealth.
