Harvey Weinstein goes on trial in L.A., where he once reigned
Already serving a 23-year sentence for rape and sexual assault in New York, the 70-year-old former movie mogul faces different allegations including several that prosecutors say occurred during a pivotal Oscar week in Los Angeles. Jury selection for an eight-week trial begins Monday.
Starting in the 1990s, Weinstein, through the company Miramax that he ran with his brother, was an innovator in running broad and aggressive campaigns promoting Academy Award nominees. He had unmatched success, pushing films like "Shakespeare in Love" and "The Artist" to best picture wins and becoming among the most thanked men ever during Oscar acceptance speeches.
Like most of the incidents in the indictments, they happened under the guise of business meetings at luxury hotels in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, which Weinstein used as his California headquarters and where he could be seen during awards season and throughout the year. He was treated as more than a VIP.
The Los Angeles trial is likely to be far less of a spectacle than the New York proceedings, and not merely because it's a sequel and Weinstein is already serving a long sentence. Weinstein will also be represented by different lawyers in Los Angeles, Alan Jackson and Mark Werksman. They have expressed worries that the movies may play a role in trial.
