Jury Seated in Weinstein's 2013 Manhattan Rape Case
18 Apr
Summary
- Jury selection concluded for Harvey Weinstein's 2013 rape trial.
- Weinstein, 73, faces charges for an alleged 2013 Manhattan hotel rape.
- This trial is the latest in a series of legal battles for the former producer.
Jury selection has concluded after four days for the trial of former Hollywood powerbroker Harvey Weinstein. Seven men and five women were selected to decide his fate in a case accusing him of rape in a Manhattan hotel back in 2013.
Weinstein, 73, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The trial is anticipated to last approximately four weeks. This legal proceeding is the latest in a series of sexual assault cases against the Oscar-winning former producer, who has been incarcerated for six years to date.
His legal battles have spanned over a decade, with convictions in both New York and Los Angeles. However, his initial 2020 New York conviction was overturned, and a subsequent retrial in New York last year resulted in a hung jury on the rape charge while reaching a mixed verdict on other charges. Weinstein denies all allegations and is appealing his convictions.
