Court records show one of three men charged in the killing of Jam Master Jay plans to plead guilty. If the plan holds, it would be the first admission anyone has made in court to any role in the Run-DMC star’s 2002 death. A court docket entry Thursday indicates that Jay Bryant intends to change his not guilty plea. No court date was immediately set for a change of plea, and the records don't say anything about the charge or conduct to which he might admit. Prosecutors declined to comment. A message was sent to Bryant’s attorney. Co-defendants Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington were convicted by a jury, but Jordan was later cleared by a judge.

Jury selection is underway in Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial. The process started Tuesday in a Manhattan court, but no jurors have been chosen. Jury selection is scheduled to resume Wednesday with jurors being question individually in private. It's the third time that jurors will weigh whether he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel in 2013. It’s a more streamlined proceeding than the array of allegations that were aired at Weinstein’s previous trials in New York and Los Angeles. The Oscar-winning producer denies all the accusations. He declared in court this winter that he had “acted wrongly” but “never assaulted anyone.”
