Harvey Weinstein Retrial Begins with Jury Selection in New York

The disgraced film producer faces updated charges and a new legal approach after his 2020 conviction was overturned due to judicial errors.

Overview

  • Jury selection is underway for Weinstein's retrial, with the process expected to take several days before opening arguments begin next week.
  • The retrial includes two charges from the original trial and a new charge based on an allegation from a previously untried accuser.
  • A new judge, Curtis Farber, is presiding over the case, replacing Judge James Burke, whose rulings were criticized and contributed to the overturning of the original conviction.
  • Prosecutors have streamlined their case, calling three accusers to testify, including Miriam Haley, Jessica Mann, and a new accuser identified as CW-3.
  • Weinstein, who remains incarcerated and in poor health, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and continues to deny any non-consensual encounters.
