NEW YORK — Nine jurors were picked Wednesday on the second day of jury selection in Harvey Weinstein’s #MeToo rape retrial.

At the same time, the disgraced movie mogul’s lawyers asked a judge to allow him to spend his nights at a New York City hospital instead of jail for the duration of the trial, citing his many health issues.

The jurors — five women and four men — were picked from a group of 25 prospective jurors after prosecutors and Weinstein’s lawyers spent the past two days asking them questions to gauge their ability to be impartial.

They are the first jurors picked for the case after none were selected on Tuesday.

Jury selection will resume today with a fresh group of about 80 prospective jurors being summoned to court to begin the screening process anew.

Judge Curtis Farber has said a total of 12 jurors and six alternates will be picked.

Weinstein, 73, arrived in court in a wheelchair, as he has at all of his recent court appearances.
