Harvey Weinstein's Retrial Postponed Amid New Charges and Cancer Diagnosis

The former movie mogul's retrial on sex crime charges in New York has been delayed as his health deteriorates and new allegations emerge.

Harvey Weinstein, 72, has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, complicating his legal proceedings.
The New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein's 2020 conviction earlier this year, citing improper testimony from uncharged accusers.
Weinstein faces a new charge of sexual assault, which prosecutors have consolidated with his retrial for efficiency.
Weinstein's retrial, initially set for November, has been delayed to allow his defense more time to prepare, with a new date expected by January 29, 2025.
Despite his health issues, including recent heart surgery and hospitalization, Weinstein remains in custody at Rikers Island and maintains his innocence.
