Harvey Weinstein Faces Key Pretrial Rulings Ahead of April Retrial

The retrial includes new allegations and follows the overturning of Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on procedural grounds.

Harvey Weinstein’s retrial on rape and sexual assault charges is set to begin on April 15 in Manhattan state court.
The retrial introduces a new charge based on allegations from a woman who was not part of the initial 2020 trial.
A judge is expected to rule on critical pretrial matters, including the scope of accuser testimony and admissibility of evidence.
Weinstein’s 2020 conviction was overturned by New York’s highest court due to procedural errors, including the inclusion of testimony from unrelated allegations.
Weinstein, who remains imprisoned and in poor health, has denied all allegations and recently added high-profile attorney Jennifer Bonjean to his defense team.
