Harvey Weinstein Retrial Begins

Weinstein is being retried on charges that he raped an aspiring actress in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013.

The retrial follows the overturning of his 2020 conviction by New York's highest court, which ruled that the previous judge had unfairly allowed testimony from other accusers.

Prosecutors are expected to present a more focused case, while the defense aims to challenge the credibility of the primary accuser.

The outcome of this trial will be critical for Weinstein, who is also serving a sixteen-year sentence for a separate conviction in Los Angeles.
