#HarveyWeinstein’s rape retrial began Tuesday in a New York court, where jury selection began with 70 prospective panelists – many of whom told the judge straightaway that they could not be impartial.
Weinstein was wheeled into the courtroom late in the morning, carrying a book with the cover torn off, according to multiple media reports. When Judge
#CurtisFarber asked the group to raise a hand if they felt they could not remain impartial, more than a dozen did so, the AP reported.
One of those was
#MarkAxelowitz, an actor who plays a prosecutor in the
#RobertDeNiro-led film “The Alto Knights.” After being dismissed, he told the AP: “I don’t like the guy, he is a really bad guy.”
