00:00The trial has begun. The judge is vetting the jurors. We're going to go up there and do the best we can to get a fair and impartial jury and proceed to opening statements maybe as early as tomorrow or Thursday.
00:15So, nothing exciting or special going on right now except we're going to do the best we can to make sure anyone who's going to sit on the jury does not have any preconceived notions or predisposed ideas of what a verdict should be and that they only base their verdict on the evidence that they're going to hear during this apparently two-month-long trial.
00:39How tough is it when this has gone? There's been one trial already. How tough is it behind the jury?
00:44Well, unlike probably every case going on in this courthouse right now where a jury comes in and hears a case, they don't know who the defendant is.
00:52They don't know who the facts are. They don't have any background. That's not the case here.
00:56But all sides and the judge are going to work very hard to make sure that whatever jury is seated is one that can keep an open mind and base their verdict on the evidence and not on anything else.
01:08Can you describe Harvey's state of mind right now? We know he's been sick. Can you talk to us about it?
01:13Harvey's been struggling with all kinds of physical ailments, all kinds of health issues, but there's a degree of nervous energy in a positive way
01:26to finally have his voice heard and have his day in court under very different circumstances than five years ago.
01:34And he's cautiously optimistic that when all the evidence is out, the jury will find that all of his relationships were consensual
01:42and therefore a verdict of not guilty. I've got to go upstairs, guys.
