A jury made up of several members of the entertainment industry, including former Sony Entertainment Pictures Chairman Peter Guber, was sworn in Friday to judge actress Winona Ryder on shoplifting charges.

Defense attorney Mark Geragos asked the them whether the fact Ryder is "pretty and rich" would prejudice her in their eyes. No one answered affirmatively.

Mark Geragos is an idiot.
