NEW YORK - Four men and three women were chosen on Thursday as jurors in the rape trial of Harvey Weinstein, as the judge cautioned against using the case to make a broader statement about the #MeToo movement.
Since 2017, more than 80 women, including many famous actresses, have accused him of sexual misconduct dating back decades. Weinstein has denied the allegations, saying any sexual encounters he had were consensual. Prosecutors, Weinstein’s lawyers and Burke are striving to select 12 jurors and six alternates before opening statements, which are expected to begin on Jan. 22.
Most of the questioning drew only nods in response from the potential jurors. After questioning, each side was given an opportunity to strike jurors from the pool.
R. Kelly is the official face of metoo; Weinstein was allowed to protect his company which acted as a co-conspirator. CBS’ Les Moonves got off clean.
Weinstein playing the cripple! Too coward to serve a sentence. Only remorse he has is that he eventually got caught.
Weinstein’s ailment is the greatest hoax since Vincent “the Chin” Gigante.
Good for the judge.
Bust his ass!
Get off that Zimmer frame and stand up like a man that you've never been and face the music.
No shit; it’s about a man in power raping.
How can any woman not be attracted to Harvey? Just look at that handsome ghoul
Remember the survivors. Metoo HarveyWeinstein
