Overview

  • Judge Curtis Farber directed that the deadlocked rape count brought by Jessica Mann be retried this year, rejecting prosecutors’ request for a January date
  • Manhattan prosecutors told the court they are ready to proceed with the Mann retrial and said Mann is willing to testify again
  • Weinstein’s sentencing on the June conviction for sexually assaulting Miriam Haley is set for Sept. 30 but will be held in abeyance if the new trial moves forward
  • Weinstein remains in custody at Rikers Island, continues to deny all allegations and is appealing a separate 16-year sentence from his 2022 Los Angeles conviction
  • The case’s repeated retrials follow an April 2024 Court of Appeals decision that vacated Weinstein’s original 2020 New York verdicts over prejudicial testimony
