Though lyrics including, “The rapist is you” weren’t discernible inside, defence attorney Damon Cheronis later complained to the judge, “It’s this type of atmosphere that makes it impossible for Mr. Weinstein to get a fair trial.”Judge James Burke brushed off a defence motion to exclude any potential juror who heard the commotion.
The exchange reflected the difficulties of picking a jury to decide the fate of Weinstein, who’s pleaded not guilty to charges he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and sexually assaulted another woman, Mimi Haleyi, in 2006. If convicted at a trial expected to last into March, the 67-year-old ex-studio boss could face life in prison.
After a fourth day of initial screening on Friday, the court was expected to keep seeking more candidates next week for a final round of questioning .Both sides hope to have a jury in place for opening statements before the end of this month.
