Harvey Weinstein

Jury selection began in trial for former Hollywood producer, 70, who faces 11 counts for alleged attacks on five women.

The proceedings are expected to last several weeks. Weinstein recently sought to have his New York conviction overturned, but a five-judge panel upheld the ruling. The jurors were given a lengthy questionnaire intended to screen out those who need to be dismissed. Newsom, a documentary film-maker and former actor, spoke out about her experience with Weinstein in 2017, [writing](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/harvey-weinstein-and-the-end-of-open-secrets_b_59d7fd7be4b08ce873a8cdf7) that “similar things happened” to her as those outlined in a bombshell New York Times report on the producer’s abuse.

The accusations include forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery by restraint and sexual penetration by use of force.

The original prosecutor on the Harvey Weinstein case, and her boss, were both reassigned after being exposed to an attorney-client email.

“A better move would have been to have a taint team in place from the beginning.” Even so, Joy suggested that it might have been wise to let a “taint team” review the emails at the outset. Mendoza then told Buckley, and together they decided that everyone should return the emails to the BHPD detective. “I informed her that DDA Paul Thompson would be my recommendation for reassignment of the case.” Buckley and Mendoza were told that they, as well as Vargas, would be moved off the case. The D.A.’s office declined to comment for this story. Weinstein was copied on the email, which would be subject to attorney-client privilege. “He included a brief description of the email during our phone conversation,” Mendoza wrote in her declaration. “I think they’re being cautious to try to avoid anything that would screw up the case,” said Peter Joy, a law professor at Washington University in St. Mendoza and detectives from several agencies began to sift through the emails using keywords. An LAPD detective, Javier Vargas, was also removed from the case because he read the attorney-client email, according to the declarations. At the conclusion of the phone call with Detective Vargas, I sent an email to the investigative team entitled ‘STOP READING THE WEINSTEIN EMAILS.'”
