Harvey Weinstein Rape Retrial Opens
Harvey Weinstein returned to a Manhattan courtroom in a wheelchair to face a retrial on rape charges that have lingered for nearly eight years.
Prosecutors once again portrayed the 74-year-old as a predator who wielded his power to manipulate and assault aspiring actresses.
Defense attorneys argued that the encounters were consensual and that the case is a product of a 'witch hunt' atmosphere.
This trial follows an overturned conviction and a previous jury deadlock, marking a critical moment for the #MeToo movement's legal legacy.
