Harvey Weinstein's criminal trial started today in Manhattan. Here's what to expect

from Haleyi and the unnamed accuser, suggesting that the accusers wanted to keep seeing Weinstein after the attacks in question and that their motives for accusing him are questionable.

Shakhnevich expects that in response, the prosecution will likely call on witnesses to testify on behalf of the victims and speak to how commonplace it is for victims to communicate with their abusers after they are assaulted. “It’s horrible, there’s no other way to describe it,” he says. “To put these women through this and have experts basically analyze their emotional state after what they believe was rape, is horrible.

that she hopes the trial encourages women to hold themselves accountable and prompt them to say to themselves, “‘Maybe don’t go to the hotel room, maybe we are having a different conversation.'” One of the biggest obstacles for the defense will likely be jury selection, which begins on Tuesday. Given the extensive press coverage of #MeToo and the Weinstein case, it will be extremely difficult to assemble an impartial jury, says Shakhnevich. “One thing I thought the defense should explore is waiving a jury trial and going right to the judge,” he says. “The jury here will be permeated by vitriol, and you don’t want a verdict affected by that.

This was evidenced already by Judge James Burke’s ruling last year banning reporters and the public from attending a pretrial hearing pertaining to key pieces of evidence allowed at trial. Burke was concerned that media coverage of the “highly inflammatory” information presented at the pretrial hearing could impact Weinstein’s right to a fair trial, and his defense team has already expressed concern about that, filing a motion requesting to move the trial outside of Manhattan.
