Dozens more possible jurors are screened in Weinstein retrial
Briefly

The jury selection for Harvey Weinstein's retrial, attributed to the reversal of his previous conviction, involves a rigorous screening of over 80 potential jurors. After a hands-raised response revealing significant scheduling conflicts and biases due to the case's coverage, only about 30 candidates proceeded to detailed questioning. Weinstein, charged with multiple sexual assault offenses, maintains his innocence, asserting all interactions were consensual. The trial, overseen by Judge Curtis Farber, is set to unfold over several months, marking an important moment in the ongoing #MeToo dialogue.
Weinstein's retrial involves a multi-stage jury selection process, highlighting the complexity and sensitivity surrounding high-profile sexual misconduct cases.
With an anticipated trial duration until May, this retrial follows the overturning of Weinstein's initial conviction, setting the stage for re-evaluated evidence.
