Harvey Weinstein's legal team will tell a panel of seven male jurors and five female jurors why they should ultimately find the defendant not-guilty
On Wednesday, Harvey Weinstein's legal team will tell a panel of seven male jurors and five female jurors why they should ultimately find the defendant not-guilty.
In doing so, Cheronis suggested that Weinstein's defense will argue that the women who have accused him of sexual assault aren't telling the truth and were simply leveraging sexual relationships to advance their career. Arthur Aidala, another Weinstein lawyer, told a panel of 20 prospects jurors that they would be trying a "he said, she said" case that lacks video or audio evidence, and cautioned them against taking the prosecution's side by virtue of the sheer number of women who may take the stand to accuse their client of bad behavior.
She also teed up the state's rebuttal to a likely defense argument by telling jurors that they should not judge the behavior of sexual assault victims based on their conventional understanding of how individuals in this situation should act.
