Dozens excused from Weinstein jury as lawyers seek judge’s removal HarveyWeinstein sabcnews

Dozens of potential jurors were excused on Wednesday from serving in the rape trial of Harvey Weinstein, as the former movie producer’s lawyers accused the judge presiding over the trial of bias.

“I read every article and it’s gonna be very hard for someone who’s been assaulted multiple times,” one female potential juror said, explaining why she could not be impartial.A third woman said she had “a very close friend who had an encounter with the defendant.”The 30 potential jurors who were not dismissed Wednesday are expected to return January 16 for the next phase of jury selection.

Aidala said the question suggested Burke had already decided Weinstein was guilty and should be sentenced to life. Burke has not ruled on the motion.
