Some prospective jurors in Harvey Weinstein’s New York City rape retrial have made clear they could not be fair in judging the Hollywood mogul-turned-pariah.

As jury selection began on Tuesday, Mark Axelowitz, an actor who plays a Manhattan prosecutor in the new Robert De Niro film The Alto Knights, was one of more than a dozen candidates who raised a hand when the judge asked if anyone felt they could not be impartial.
