Overview

• Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction for sexual assault and rape was overturned in 2024 due to procedural errors, prompting a retrial in New York.
• The reopened trial includes the original allegations from 2006 and 2013, as well as a new charge from another accuser not included in the first trial.
• Jury selection for the retrial has concluded, with opening arguments scheduled for April 22, and the trial expected to last up to five weeks.
• Stricter procedural rules are in place, barring certain witness testimonies and prohibiting terms like 'survivor' to ensure neutrality.
• Weinstein remains incarcerated due to a separate 2023 conviction in Los Angeles and faces ongoing health issues, including heart problems and reported leukemia.
