New York – More people scores underwent Thursday as potential jurors for the New York of Harvey Weinstein Violation judgment.
The panel began to take shape on Wednesday, when Five women and four men were chosen for the rebirth of the #metao-era trial. They were chosen after several stages of detection and interrogation, a process of several steps that is common for the lengths and serious crimes in Manhattan. Weinstein’s new trial is expected to work at least until the end of May.
A new group of more than 80 possible jurors was brought to the Court on Thursday for the first stage of selection: a show response from hands to whether they had time conflicts or felt that they could not be fair and impartial due to the nature of the case.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers must choose 12 jurors and six substitutes.
Judge Curtis Farber is supervising the thorough process: the nine jurors selected so far were eliminated from approximately 140 people who went through initials projection earlier this week.
