"Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber made the announcement in a hearing where Weinstein formally swapped in a new legal team from Agnifilo Intrater on Wednesday morning. The trio of lawyers representing Weinstein are Jacob Kaplan, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, two of whom are representing Luigi Mangione in his state and federal murder cases."
"The retrial comes after the former movie mogul was convicted in June of forcing oral sex on former Project Runway assistant Miriam Haley in 2006, one of the top charges in Weinstein's second trial, and not guilty of assaulting Polish model Kaja Sokola. During that trial, jurors were unable to reach a verdict on a third charge about whether he raped hairstylist and actress Jessica Mann."
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber announced that Harvey Weinstein's retrial will commence with jury selection on April 14, 2026. Weinstein has replaced his previous legal team with Jacob Kaplan, Marc Agnifilo, and Teny Geragos. The retrial follows Weinstein's June conviction for forcing oral sex on former Project Runway assistant Miriam Haley in 2006, and his acquittal on charges related to Polish model Kaja Sokola. Prosecutors will retry a charge regarding whether Weinstein raped hairstylist and actress Jessica Mann, on which jurors previously could not reach a verdict. The defense team has one week to file oral opposition, with another hearing scheduled for March 19 to address outstanding matters before trial begins.
