Riveting, of course!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because journalists love movies about journalism, we have a tendency to give them glowing reviews, without stopping to think about how much non-journalists really want to look at them. When I came home from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14807308/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">\u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>\u003c/a> preview, full of praise for it, my partner replied, “Yes, but how many scenes are there of people just … typing?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13921479']The answer to that is — fine, I’ll admit it — quite a few. Because \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> is a dramatization of how \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> exposed Harvey Weinstein as a serial sexual predator in 2017. It follows real-life reporters \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodi_Kantor\">Jodi Kantor\u003c/a> (played engagingly by Zoe Kazan) and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megan_Twohey\">Megan Twohey\u003c/a> (the always brilliant Carey Mulligan) chasing down leads and persuading an ever-growing number of traumatized survivors to talk to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means that yes, there are scenes of journalists typing together and separately. There are scenes of multiple people clustered around a single computer screen reading and re-reading copy to make sure it’s right. There are scenes in which the journalists are legally advised about how to approach the story. There’s even a scene of on-screen copy and pasting. But try and stick with me here, because \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> also works incredibly hard to make sure this isn’t just a movie for journalists. Its pacing is consistently urgent, deftly compressing reams of information into sharp and compelling scenes. It will succeed in surprising even the viewers who think they know this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opening moments — some of the most powerful in all two hours and eight minutes of the film — set the tone early and hammer home exactly what the stakes are. One minute, we’re looking at a young woman joyfully working on her first movie set in Ireland, laughing with co-workers, visibly excited to start her career. Cut to: That same young woman, tears streaming down her face, facial expression of pure terror, running as fast as she can through a deserted street. We know what has happened to her, because we know this is a movie about Harvey Weinstein. Still, the juxtaposition of her before and after is so stark — so raw — I audibly gasped in the theater. It would not be the last time I did so while watching \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5pxUQecM3Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wondered going in if it was too soon for this story to become a movie. It’s only been five years since Kantor and Twohey published their Weinstein exposé in the \u003cem>Times\u003c/em>. It’s been four since they won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for doing so. And it’s been three since their book \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>, which this movie is based on, was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13921411']However, watching \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> in the current moment — one in which #MeToo’s momentum has been indelibly stunted by the COVID pandemic and other factors — acts as a pertinent reminder. It’s a reminder not just of the careers lost and lives derailed by this powerful man who abused with impunity; it’s also a reminder of the systems that enabled him. It’s a reminder of the structures that continue to enable sexual harassment and abuse \u003cem>everywhere\u003c/em>. More than anything, \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> is an inspiring reminder of the collective of women who stood up to Weinstein when he assumed nobody would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of Weinstein’s less famous accusers are depicted by actors as both their 2017 selves and in flashbacks to their younger years when they fell prey to Weinstein. It is these scenes that will most break your heart and infuriate you. (“It was like he took my voice that day,” we hear one despair, “just when I was about to start finding it.”) You’ll also marvel at the inner strength and dogged determination of Kantor and Twohey as they collect Weinstein horror story after Weinstein horror story, unsure if they’ll ever even be able to share them with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>’s success lies in the movie’s blending of the real and the recreated. Ashley Judd appears as herself, reenacting the interviews she conducted with Kantor. The now-\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEu7quzUsDk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">infamous real audio of Weinstein\u003c/a> bullying — and admitting to groping — Ambra Battilana is played over footage of an eerily empty hotel hallway. We don’t see Gwyneth Paltrow or Rose McGowan, but we hear convincing impersonations of them on phone calls. A body double viewed only from behind is used to depict Harvey Weinstein’s visit to \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> office, a move recalled as one of his many intimidation tactics. The choice to feature all of these very famous figures primarily off-screen — thereby avoiding the potential for distracting imitations — is a smart one that keeps the narrative on track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its promotional materials, \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> has utilized appearances from the real women behind the story. One of them is Laura Madden, the woman depicted in \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>’s devastating opening scenes. “He did this to all these women,” Madden recalls now, “and I felt sad for myself that that young girl had taken the blame for it.” For the women involved, \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> is undoubtedly another step on the path to healing. For everyone else, it is one of this year’s must-see movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>‘She Said’ opens in theaters on Friday, Nov. 18.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"This searing dramatization of journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s exposé of Harvey Weinstein is a must-see.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1705006149,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":13,"wordCount":1005},"headData":{"title":"Review: ‘She Said’ Honors the Women Who Took Down Weinstein | KQED","description":"This searing dramatization of journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s exposé of Harvey Weinstein is a must-see.","ogTitle":"‘She Said’ Devastates, Infuriates and Inspires in Equal Measure","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"‘She Said’ Devastates, Infuriates and Inspires in Equal Measure","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","socialTitle":"Review: ‘She Said’ Honors the Women Who Took Down Weinstein %%page%% %%sep%% KQED"},"sticky":false,"templateType":"standard","featuredImageType":"standard","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","path":"/arts/13921719/she-said-harvey-weinstein-metoo-new-york-times-kantor-twohey-journalists","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Journalists love movies about journalism.

When I came home from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14807308/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">\u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>\u003c/a> preview, full of praise for it, my partner replied, “Yes, but how many scenes are there of people just … typing?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13921479","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>The answer to that is — fine, I’ll admit it — quite a few. Because \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> is a dramatization of how \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> exposed Harvey Weinstein as a serial sexual predator in 2017. It follows real-life reporters \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodi_Kantor\">Jodi Kantor\u003c/a> (played engagingly by Zoe Kazan) and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megan_Twohey\">Megan Twohey\u003c/a> (the always brilliant Carey Mulligan) chasing down leads and persuading an ever-growing number of traumatized survivors to talk to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means that yes, there are scenes of journalists typing together and separately. There are scenes of multiple people clustered around a single computer screen reading and re-reading copy to make sure it’s right. There are scenes in which the journalists are legally advised about how to approach the story. There’s even a scene of on-screen copy and pasting. But try and stick with me here, because \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> also works incredibly hard to make sure this isn’t just a movie for journalists. Its pacing is consistently urgent, deftly compressing reams of information into sharp and compelling scenes. It will succeed in surprising even the viewers who think they know this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opening moments — some of the most powerful in all two hours and eight minutes of the film — set the tone early and hammer home exactly what the stakes are. One minute, we’re looking at a young woman joyfully working on her first movie set in Ireland, laughing with co-workers, visibly excited to start her career. Cut to: That same young woman, tears streaming down her face, facial expression of pure terror, running as fast as she can through a deserted street. We know what has happened to her, because we know this is a movie about Harvey Weinstein. Still, the juxtaposition of her before and after is so stark — so raw — I audibly gasped in the theater. It would not be the last time I did so while watching \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/i5pxUQecM3Y'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/i5pxUQecM3Y'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>I wondered going in if it was too soon for this story to become a movie.

It’s a reminder not just of the careers lost and lives derailed by this powerful man who abused with impunity; it’s also a reminder of the systems that enabled him. It’s a reminder of the structures that continue to enable sexual harassment and abuse \u003cem>everywhere\u003c/em>. More than anything, \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> is an inspiring reminder of the collective of women who stood up to Weinstein when he assumed nobody would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of Weinstein’s less famous accusers are depicted by actors as both their 2017 selves and in flashbacks to their younger years when they fell prey to Weinstein. It is these scenes that will most break your heart and infuriate you. (“It was like he took my voice that day,” we hear one despair, “just when I was about to start finding it.”) You’ll also marvel at the inner strength and dogged determination of Kantor and Twohey as they collect Weinstein horror story after Weinstein horror story, unsure if they’ll ever even be able to share them with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>’s success lies in the movie’s blending of the real and the recreated. Ashley Judd appears as herself, reenacting the interviews she conducted with Kantor. The now-\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEu7quzUsDk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">infamous real audio of Weinstein\u003c/a> bullying — and admitting to groping — Ambra Battilana is played over footage of an eerily empty hotel hallway. We don’t see Gwyneth Paltrow or Rose McGowan, but we hear convincing impersonations of them on phone calls. A body double viewed only from behind is used to depict Harvey Weinstein’s visit to \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> office, a move recalled as one of his many intimidation tactics. The choice to feature all of these very famous figures primarily off-screen — thereby avoiding the potential for distracting imitations — is a smart one that keeps the narrative on track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its promotional materials, \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> has utilized appearances from the real women behind the story. One of them is Laura Madden, the woman depicted in \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em>’s devastating opening scenes. “He did this to all these women,” Madden recalls now, “and I felt sad for myself that that young girl had taken the blame for it.” For the women involved, \u003cem>She Said\u003c/em> is undoubtedly another step on the path to healing.

Federal prosecutors charge that Maxwell even took part in some of the sexual abuse directly. But the 58-year-old Brit has been evading authorities so flagrantly and for so long that, last year, the \u003cem>Sun\u003c/em> newspaper resorted to offering a \u003ca href=\"https://www.the-sun.com/news/74018/the-sun-is-offering-a-10000-reward-for-information-on-jeffrey-epstein-pal-ghislaine-maxwell/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">£10,000 reward\u003c/a> for information leading to her location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following 2017’s #MeToo reckoning, the world became all too familiar with the ways that enablers can assist and protect prominent sexual predators. But of all of the enablers that have emerged in the last few years, Maxwell is arguably the most notorious. That’s partly because she’s a woman alleged to have facilitated the abuse of others. And it’s partly because of the degree and depth of her involvement with Epstein (“She had served him for years, maintaining his homes, ranch, and private island,”\u003ca href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/07/inside-ghislaine-maxwells-life-on-the-lam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> reports \u003c/a>\u003cem>Vanity Fair\u003c/em>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s also partly because the allegations against her represent a new, monstrous degree of enabling we’ve not quite seen before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">W\u003c/span>hat we’re accustomed to hearing about enablers is that their work is done incrementally; little by little; one blind eye at a time.

Judge James Burke handed down the decision in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday as the disgraced movie mogul watched, flanked by his legal team. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His 20-year sentence for a criminal sexual act, the more serious of the two counts he was convicted of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/02/24/805258433/harvey-weinstein-found-guilty-of-rape-but-acquitted-of-most-sexual-assault-charg\">last month\u003c/a>, is on the higher end of New York state’s guidelines. For the other count, rape in the third degree, Weinstein was sentenced to three years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sentence Wednesday caps Weinstein’s precipitous fall from the heights of Hollywood, where for decades he brandished his power and influence like a blunt instrument — and allegedly sexually assaulted dozens of young women, intimidating them and others into silence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those allegations, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/798222176\">gathered momentum\u003c/a> with the release of a pair of exposés in October 2017, landed him in court earlier this year to face his first criminal trial. The charges, including two counts of predatory sexual assault, could have led to him spending the rest of his life in prison — though jurors, after hearing weeks of arguments and deliberating another five days, acquitted him of the most serious charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein’s legal team cited this mixed verdict in its sentencing letter to the court, pointing out his charity work and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/804584532\">arguing that\u003c/a> two of the principal witnesses in the trial — Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann — offered “extremely complicated” descriptions of their relationships with Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given his age and specific medical risk factors,” his attorneys said, “any additional term of imprisonment above the mandatory minimum — although the grave reality is that Mr. Weinstein may not even outlive that term — is likely to constitute a de facto life sentence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein displayed signs of poor health throughout the court hearings, which he attended with the aid of a walker. After his verdict was read — and before heading to the Rikers Island jail complex, where he awaited sentencing — authorities rerouted him to a hospital, where doctors placed a stent in his heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he returned for his sentencing hearing Wednesday, he did so in a wheelchair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein, who did not take the stand during the trial, did, however, speak to the court during the hearing. He compared himself to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/11/06/454996142/bryan-cranston-becomes-blacklisted-screenwriter-dalton-trumbo-in-new-biopic\">Dalton Trumbo\u003c/a>, an American screenwriter who was notoriously blacklisted in the 1940s for being a member of the Communist Party. And Weinstein, whose alleged assaults help spur the #MeToo movement, which boosts the voices of survivors, compared environment it has created to the Red Scare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m worried about this country,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors, for their part, argued against leniency by relating a list of deeply detailed allegations of sexual assault, harassment and other abuse dating back to the 1970s. In their letter to the judge, prosecutors said the examples bolstered the accounts offered by Mann, Haley and the four other women who \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/802340962\">told their stories\u003c/a> on the witness stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rape is not that one moment of penetration,” Mann said in her statement to the court Wednesday. “It is forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and the five other women who testified that Weinstein assaulted them sat side-by-side together during the sentencing hearing as a gesture of solidarity. Among the group was Tarale Wulff, whose allegation of rape was not included in the charges but who nevertheless took the stand during the trial to support the prosecutors’ case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a message \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@TaraleWulff/harvey-weinsteins-prison-sentence-can-never-heal-me-but-it-s-a-start-68d91feb9702?source=friends_link&sk=0fe62b935c20d5a8888d0ed242d4d32a\">published Tuesday\u003c/a>, she uttered a similar sentiment in hoping that Weinstein’s sentence “reflects what he has done to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those events,” she wrote, “will continue to haunt me and the other survivors for the rest of our lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday does not represent the last of Weinstein’s legal woes.

Judge James Burke handed down the decision in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday as the disgraced movie mogul watched, flanked by his legal team. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His 20-year sentence for a criminal sexual act, the more serious of the two counts he was convicted of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/02/24/805258433/harvey-weinstein-found-guilty-of-rape-but-acquitted-of-most-sexual-assault-charg\">last month\u003c/a>, is on the higher end of New York state’s guidelines. For the other count, rape in the third degree, Weinstein was sentenced to three years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sentence Wednesday caps Weinstein’s precipitous fall from the heights of Hollywood, where for decades he brandished his power and influence like a blunt instrument — and allegedly sexually assaulted dozens of young women, intimidating them and others into silence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those allegations, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/798222176\">gathered momentum\u003c/a> with the release of a pair of exposés in October 2017, landed him in court earlier this year to face his first criminal trial. The charges, including two counts of predatory sexual assault, could have led to him spending the rest of his life in prison — though jurors, after hearing weeks of arguments and deliberating another five days, acquitted him of the most serious charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein’s legal team cited this mixed verdict in its sentencing letter to the court, pointing out his charity work and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/804584532\">arguing that\u003c/a> two of the principal witnesses in the trial — Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann — offered “extremely complicated” descriptions of their relationships with Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given his age and specific medical risk factors,” his attorneys said, “any additional term of imprisonment above the mandatory minimum — although the grave reality is that Mr. Weinstein may not even outlive that term — is likely to constitute a de facto life sentence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein displayed signs of poor health throughout the court hearings, which he attended with the aid of a walker. After his verdict was read — and before heading to the Rikers Island jail complex, where he awaited sentencing — authorities rerouted him to a hospital, where doctors placed a stent in his heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he returned for his sentencing hearing Wednesday, he did so in a wheelchair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein, who did not take the stand during the trial, did, however, speak to the court during the hearing. He compared himself to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/11/06/454996142/bryan-cranston-becomes-blacklisted-screenwriter-dalton-trumbo-in-new-biopic\">Dalton Trumbo\u003c/a>, an American screenwriter who was notoriously blacklisted in the 1940s for being a member of the Communist Party. And Weinstein, whose alleged assaults help spur the #MeToo movement, which boosts the voices of survivors, compared environment it has created to the Red Scare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m worried about this country,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors, for their part, argued against leniency by relating a list of deeply detailed allegations of sexual assault, harassment and other abuse dating back to the 1970s. In their letter to the judge, prosecutors said the examples bolstered the accounts offered by Mann, Haley and the four other women who \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/802340962\">told their stories\u003c/a> on the witness stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rape is not that one moment of penetration,” Mann said in her statement to the court Wednesday. “It is forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and the five other women who testified that Weinstein assaulted them sat side-by-side together during the sentencing hearing as a gesture of solidarity. Among the group was Tarale Wulff, whose allegation of rape was not included in the charges but who nevertheless took the stand during the trial to support the prosecutors’ case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a message \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@TaraleWulff/harvey-weinsteins-prison-sentence-can-never-heal-me-but-it-s-a-start-68d91feb9702?source=friends_link&sk=0fe62b935c20d5a8888d0ed242d4d32a\">published Tuesday\u003c/a>, she uttered a similar sentiment in hoping that Weinstein’s sentence “reflects what he has done to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those events,” she wrote, “will continue to haunt me and the other survivors for the rest of our lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday does not represent the last of Weinstein’s legal woes.

The first of his attorneys, Benjamin Brafman, staged an aggressive defense in the media. He warned that the #MeToo movement, while generally a positive development, also resulted in an unfair rush to judgment in Weinstein’s situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have a #MeToo movement that pressures public officials to take certain action when perhaps it’s not warranted, then it gets to be very, very scary,” he told NPR \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/17/676803400/weinstein-seeks-dismissal-of-sexual-assault-case-in-possible-metoo-setback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in late 2018\u003c/a>, while he was still representing Weinstein. “And I think that’s what happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brafman and Weinstein officially \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2019/01/harvey-weinstein-laywer-leaves-benjamin-brafman-criminal-trial-1202534787/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parted ways\u003c/a> about a month after speaking with NPR.

We have a lot of documentation to back those things up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, before the opposing sides make their cases in court, a jury must be selected to hear those arguments—and that task won’t be easy in a case this well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The issue is not necessarily finding the needle in the haystack—you know, the one person who has never heard of the Weinstein case. The odds of finding such a person are slim to none,” said Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge and author of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nancygertner.com/content/law-juries-6th-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book on jury selection\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that instead, each side likely will be scrutinizing every potential juror for any sign of prejudice, such as strong feelings about the #MeToo movement or Weinstein personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In other words, within the pool of people who have heard about him, there are distinctions to be made,” Gertner added. “And that’s where you have to find a fair jury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process is expected to last about two weeks. The entire trial could last six to eight.

After the producer dropped her off at her apartment in Manhattan, Sciorra says that he reappeared at her door and pushed it open, overpowering and raping her once he had gotten inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident took place too long ago for prosecution under state law, but prosecutors pushed for Sciorra’s testimony to be included anyway over the objections of Weinstein’s legal team—and prosecutors \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/26/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-annabella-sciorra-trial-rape.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got their way\u003c/a>. She will be allowed to take the witness stand to bolster the case that Weinstein committed \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/130.95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">predatory sexual assault\u003c/a>, which carries the longest possible sentence of his charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein, for his part, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, maintaining that everything that he did with these women and others was consensual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the case that heads to trial Monday is Weinstein’s first to include criminal charges, it is by no means the first case against the producer. Just last month, in fact, Weinstein and the board of his bankrupt film studio reached a tentative \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/11/787306873/harvey-weinstein-reaches-tentative-25-million-deal-to-settle-sex-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$47 million deal \u003c/a>to settle their financial obligations—about $25 million of which would be earmarked for the accusers who filed lawsuits against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, which is still subject to approval by a judge, did not include any formal admission of wrongdoing or personal payments from Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Weinstein’s criminal case in Manhattan, the producer has changed lawyers several times during his pretrial preparations. The first of his attorneys, Benjamin Brafman, staged an aggressive defense in the media. He warned that the #MeToo movement, while generally a positive development, also resulted in an unfair rush to judgment in Weinstein’s situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have a #MeToo movement that pressures public officials to take certain action when perhaps it’s not warranted, then it gets to be very, very scary,” he told NPR \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/17/676803400/weinstein-seeks-dismissal-of-sexual-assault-case-in-possible-metoo-setback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in late 2018\u003c/a>, while he was still representing Weinstein. “And I think that’s what happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brafman and Weinstein officially \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2019/01/harvey-weinstein-laywer-leaves-benjamin-brafman-criminal-trial-1202534787/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parted ways\u003c/a> about a month after speaking with NPR. Donna Rotunno, a former prosecutor who joined Weinstein’s legal team \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/11/harvey-weinstein-trial-legal-team-donna-rotunno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last year\u003c/a>, has suggested she plans to pursue a similarly aggressive defense strategy, trying to prove that the women willingly took part in their contact with Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can promise you there is a truth that you have not reported on; we’re here to uncover that truth,” Rotunno explained. “I think it’s going to be obvious that the relationships had with women in this case were quite consensual. We have a lot of documentation to back those things up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, before the opposing sides make their cases in court, a jury must be selected to hear those arguments—and that task won’t be easy in a case this well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The issue is not necessarily finding the needle in the haystack—you know, the one person who has never heard of the Weinstein case. The odds of finding such a person are slim to none,” said Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge and author of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nancygertner.com/content/law-juries-6th-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book on jury selection\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that instead, each side likely will be scrutinizing every potential juror for any sign of prejudice, such as strong feelings about the #MeToo movement or Weinstein personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In other words, within the pool of people who have heard about him, there are distinctions to be made,” Gertner added. “And that’s where you have to find a fair jury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process is expected to last about two weeks. The entire trial could last six to eight. If Weinstein is convicted on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/70.00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he faces\u003c/a> a minimum sentence of 10 to 25 years in prison or a maximum of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.
