Overview

• A jury of seven women and five men has been selected for Harvey Weinstein's retrial, with six alternates still to be finalized.
• The retrial follows the New York Court of Appeals' decision to overturn Weinstein's 2020 conviction due to procedural errors and prejudicial testimony.
• Charges include allegations of rape in 2013, forced oral sex in 2006, and a new criminal sex act count from a separate accuser.
• Jurors were questioned on their ability to remain impartial, including setting aside opinions about the #MeToo movement, which Weinstein's original trial helped ignite.
• Opening statements are set to begin Wednesday, marking the next phase of the high-profile retrial.
