Movie Mogul Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault trial could send him to prison for the rest of his life. In the end, his fate rests in the hands of a jury of his peers – 12 people being selected in a New York City courtroom.

Vinnie Politan and Seema Iyer will dig into all of it plus discuss how they expect the case to proceed once a jury has been seated.
