A woman writing a novel about 'predatory' older men and their relationships with younger woman will serve as one of 12 jurors who will decide Harvey Weinstein's fate in one of the most high-profile cases in the country

A woman writing a novel about"predatory" older men and their relationships with younger woman will serve as one of 12 jurors who will decide Harvey Weinstein's fate in one of the most high-profile cases in the country.

The New York criminal trial of Harvey Weinstein is based on the relationships between the former Hollywood power broker and producer and two younger women. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is working to prove to the jury those associations included sexual assault and rape, while Weinstein's attorneys maintain his sexual relationships with the two women were consensual.

He definitely won’t get a fair trial

Am I the only one that thinks there are as many opportunistic women trading on their looks as there are older predators in ANY game - it’s the monopoly table of life. I don’t agree with or condone either, but let’s please stop playing the victim and take some control back.

... and doesn’t like that? The dog whistle defense is pretty loud here

He will never pay a dime of his own money and will get away with it, like all powerful men do. Disgraceful

Conflict of interest 🧐🧐

I bet defense loves this. Appeal process has already started if he gets convicted

Every one of his 'victims' could have said no, but the temptation of fame and fortune prevented them from doing so.

She'll be kicked out of the jury

His lawyers suck

Biased jurors should be excused

Sounds intentional to me. Automatic mistrial.

She probably has a good grasp of the topic, ok by me!!

Don't forget, he was very much love by the Hollywood celebrities and media. That's why it took so long to take him down.

peers

That seems fair. I’m sure she has no prejudice.

Is the prosecution trying to tank their case? Has weinstein influenced the jury selection in his favor?

Isn’t that like dripping with appeal. Who the one juror the left off for no reason and kept her on

I don’t agree with what he has been accused of but how can that be fair?

Oh,oh.....that woman should not be on jury. Why chance a mis trial?

His defense is setting up a mistrial

I wonder how much CNN got paid by Harvey to write this. Or, who at CNN Harvey has dirt on. Did he use the ex-Mossad agents to help? Who knows but the good folks at CNN who green lit this article and Harv. 🧐

And the fact that older men are predatory in her book does not mean Harvey is or not, but I understand that this may cause some trouble...

Um........ I think Weinstein should burn in hell but I also think he has a right to a fair trial. This juror must be replaced.

Prejudicial—even if I don’t like the guy at all. Could give him an out in an appeal.

Lots of younger girls like older men. Usually it is about finical security.

If that doesn't work out for her, perhaps she can get a seat on the GOP side of the senate for the impeachment trial, seems she's more than qualified in her impartiality.

The jury system in America, is really the biggest joke 😂💀🤦🏽‍♀️

Well that seems fair... So now the Dems are rigging juries. Awesome. Your evil know's no limits.

I don’t like him but that doesn’t seem like a fair trial at all, what’s happening in this country ?

She writes books ! He makes movies i smell bull sh.

Sounds like a set up to declare a mistrial later

Jurors SHOULD know a little about the subject being tired! I was on a jury for a medical mispractice... Others has no idea what the expert witnesses were trying to explain. 🤷

Should be kicked off jury

tough luck, sh*t happens.

Hmmmm and she is going to remain neutral , fat chance

Her mind is already made up , shouldn't be fair if she is a juror .

Insight is not the same as bias

another sordid chapter in Harvey’s life

Sounds like a knowledgeable juror.

Where's that little worm fredo?

Sounds like a set up for a future mistrial.

Good.

Not a fan on of his, but his lawyers should've disqualified her.

That can't be right. Doesn't he get to choose who should be on the jury?

rapists, deserve to suffer

Good! That’s awesome

Did his attorneys run out of challenges or something? Seems like grounds for appeal before it even begins.

While I hope he gets convicted and mutilated in prison, that’s not right by the legal system. Biased.

*women*

Is that a mistrial written in

Speaking of creepy old men! JoeBiden should be at the top of everyone’s list.

Just throw him into general population and let justice serve itself

is the blassey ford entourage still on the cnn payroll?

Wow CNN doing attack pieces on a jury Guess Trumps authoritarianism is rubbing off

Nah, there isn't any bias there at all...

Why is the Me Too movement so anti-Semitic?

Conflict of interest? More bs from the judiciary system

Very astonished.
