The jury is complete for the new edition of the historical process against the former filmmogul Harvey Weinstein because of sexual crimes. Seven women and five men were selected from a pool of almost 300 people. There are also six replacement jurors. The opening plea in the 73-year-old trial will be expected in New York on Wednesday. Winstein’s spokesman Juda Engelmayer described the selection process of the jury in a message as “rigorous and temporarily grueling” process. However, they hoped that this jury could judge the facts impartially and that Weinstein will receive a “fair process” this time. He deserves the chance to wash his name in, the speaker continued. Weinstein is once again on trial because of allegations of sexual offenses in New York. Historical guilty reference to rape and sexual coercion from 2020 was collected last year for procedural errors. A series of allegations for serious sexual attacks against Weinstein had significantly got the worldwide metoo movement rolling in 2017. In the first procedure in 2020, the jury consisted of five women and seven men. Three -hesitant the main load of the process was the allegations of two women then as now: Weinstein was to be forced the production assistant Mimi Haleyi for oral sex in 2006 and the actress Jessica Mann raped again. Weinstein accuses of forced them to have oral sex in 2006. Although she had already reported to the authorities before the first trial, but her statements were not taken into account at the time. Winstein shows the accusations back. Weinstein has always rejected any guilt. His lawyers emphasize that the sexual contacts were mutually acceptable. While the current process, Weinstein can spend the night in the hospital. This was decided by a judge in New York last week after the 73-year-old’s defense made an application. Weinstein suffers from numerous health problems.
