The selection of seven men and five women as the trial jury was finalized Friday , capping a selection process that began last week in New York State Supreme Court. The 11th juror to be seated in this trial is at the heart of why Weinstein's defense attorneys have filed a motion for a mistrial. The woman was not forthcoming about her upcoming book on the jury questionnaire, Weinstein's attorneys Damon Cheronis and Arthur Aidala argued in court Friday. According to the pool reporter in the courtroom, Weinstein mouthed "wow" when she was allowed to be seated on the trial jury. 12 was chosen soon after and the Weinstein jury had been selected.
