Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds part of jury vetting for Lively trial
12 Apr
Summary
- Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds' names appeared in jury selection questions.
- The trial for Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is set to begin May 18.
- Baldoni's legal team requested an extension to review exhibit lists.
Jury selection for the trial involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is set to commence, with Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds among the notable names included in the preliminary questioning. These questions aim to ensure an unbiased jury for the proceedings, scheduled to begin on May 18.
Baldoni's legal team has filed for an extension, arguing that Lively's submitted lists of witnesses and exhibits are too extensive and impractical for preparation. They contend that much of the provided material, such as an article on Taylor Swift's cookie recipe and details about Reynolds' family life, is irrelevant to the case.
The legal teams are working to assemble a jury capable of impartiality, given the public profiles of those potentially involved or mentioned. The court will consider the request for an extension as it prepares for the trial.
