Harvey Weinstein's retrial has commenced, five years post his landmark #MeToo conviction being overturned by an appeals court due to judicial errors. This new trial occurs in the same Manhattan courthouse as the original one, featuring returning accusers but in a different cultural atmosphere than the initial proceedings. The jury makeup has changed, as have the charges against him, which now include allegations from an additional accuser not involved in the first trial. This context may alter the legal strategies and public perception surrounding the case.
"Opening statements began Wednesday in Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial, five years after his original #MeToo trial delivered a searing reckoning for one of Hollywood's most powerful figures."
"The retrial is happening at the same Manhattan courthouse as the first trial, and two accusers who testified then are expected to return."
