Gigi Hadid Called to Potentially Serve as Harvey Weinstein Juror

 

The model, who appeared in court on Monday, told the judge she could be objective — despite having met the defendant and one of his alleged victims.

Since Harvey Weinstein's criminal trial on charges of sexual assault began last Monday, hundreds of New Yorkers have sat in Judge James Burke's courtroom and been told they could potentially serve as jurors in Weinstein's case.

 

On Monday, a famous face was among the latest pool of potential jurors: Gigi Hadid.

 

Reporters covering the Weinstein case were initially instructed not to report Hadid's identity, as she could still be called for jury service, but were later granted permission to do so.

 

As usual, Burke asked the 120 or so potential jurors whether they know Weinstein, any of his lawyers, any defense attorneys, or any of the people who are expected to be discussed in the case or called as witnesses.

 

Hadid told the judge that she has met Weinstein and has also met Salma Hayek, who says she was sexually harassed by Weinstein and called the former film producer "my monster."

 

Burke then asked Hadid, "Is there anything about having met them that makes you unable to be an impartial juror?”

 

Hadid told the judge, “I think I’m still able to keep an open mind on the facts."

 

Many jurors have already been dismissed from potentially serving on the case because they have said they cannot be fair or impartial when considering the facts of the case. Others have been dismissed because of scheduling or health issues that would preclude them from serving on the jury, which could run for 2 months.

 

Those who have not been dismissed have been told to return on Thursday for the beginning of the more formal voir dire process.

 

Judge Burke also said on Monday that some potential jurors have discussed the case on social media, in violation of his orders. "Let me tell you, they may be held in contempt of court … and face serious consequences up to and including 30 days in jail and a significant fine," he said. “So, don’t do that."

>The Gulag Archipelago

From the author: With a new foreword written and read by Jordan B. Peterson, and an exclusive Q&A between Jordan B. Peterson and Ignat Solzhenitsyn.

 

The officially approved abridgement of The Gulag Archipelago Volumes I, II & III.

 

A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.

 

A thoroughly researched document and a feat of literary and imaginative power, this edition of The Gulag Archipelago was abridged into one volume at the author's wish and with his full co-operation.

"Solzhenitsyn’s masterpiece…The Gulag Archipelago helped create the world we live in today." (Anne Applebaum)

 

"[The Gulag Archipelago] helped to bring down an empire. Its importance can hardly be exaggerated." (Doris Lessing, Sunday Telegraph)

The writer's increasingly vocal opposition to the regime resulted in another arrest, a charge of treason, and expulsion from the USSR in 1974, the year The Gulag Archipelago, his epic history of the Soviet prison system, first appeared in the West. For eighteen years, he and his family lived in Vermont.
