Harvey Weinstein's majority-male jury panel has been selected
The jury, which will convene again on Wednesday, Jan. 22 to hear opening arguments from the defense and prosecution, is majority male, with seven male jurors and five female jurors.
Seven jurors were picked on Thursday, the first day of formal juror selection, and five more were picked on Friday morning. Throughout the process, lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi has argued that Weinstein’s team sought to “systematically exclude” white women, particularly young ones. On the other side, Weinstein lawyer Damon Cheronis argued that the prosecution was trying to exclude men from the jury.
After more than a week of seating panels of 120 jurors on a daily basis, followed by the submission of written questionnaires, the more formal selection process went quickly.
