Overview

• A jury of seven women and five men has been chosen for Weinstein's retrial, a more female-majority panel compared to his 2020 trial.
• The 12 jurors include individuals from diverse professional backgrounds, such as a physics researcher, a dietician, and a retired city social worker.
• Weinstein, 73, faces charges spanning from 2006 to 2013, including rape and multiple counts of criminal sexual acts, and has pleaded not guilty.
• The retrial follows the overturning of Weinstein's 2020 conviction and 23-year sentence by New York's Court of Appeals due to procedural errors.
• Opening statements are scheduled for Wednesday after the finalization of six alternate jurors, with the trial expected to draw significant public attention.
