Jury selection to begin in Harvey Weinstein's retrial in New York
Briefly

Harvey Weinstein is set for a retrial after New York's highest court overturned his previous conviction for rape, citing prejudicial testimony and improper rulings. The new trial coincides with Weinstein's ongoing health struggles and appeals related to another conviction in Los Angeles. Now facing charges from earlier incidents, Weinstein's legal team argues for a potential resentence. As jury selection begins, the trial atmosphere has shifted from the original #MeToo era. One significant accuser is poised to present her testimony, emphasizing the non-consensual nature of her encounter with Weinstein.
This was no consensual encounter. My client is prepared to testify about what Harvey Weinstein did to her, and that will be a key moment in the trial.
Weinstein, 73, has pleaded not guilty and denies that he raped or sexually assaulted anyone, yet he faces serious charges that could profoundly affect his remaining years.
