The retrial of Harvey Weinstein begins in New York, with Jessica Mann set to testify again about her alleged rape by Weinstein in 2013. During her initial testimony in 2020, Mann broke down while recounting her trauma and the effects of her experiences. The new trial is expected to last up to six weeks, featuring a jury composition that shifts demographics compared to the first trial. The arguments will likely mirror those presented before, as both sides prepare for a focused examination of Weinsteinâs interactions with the women involved.
The witness, Jessica Mann, had told a Manhattan jury about a yearslong relationship with Mr. Weinstein, during which she said the Hollywood producer had raped her in 2013.
Now, five years later, Ms. Mann is expected to take the stand again in a closely watched retrial of Mr. Weinstein.
The trial is expected to last up to six weeks. The jury is composed of five men and seven women, reversing the demographics in the first trial.
For both sides, the core arguments of Mr. Weinstein's interactions with the women are likely to follow closely what they had told the jury in 2020.
