Overview
- Judge Curtis Farber denied Harvey Weinstein’s bid to reopen the entire case and dismissed claims that two jurors were coerced into a guilty vote.
- The court ordered a new proceeding only on the count where the last jury deadlocked, with the retrial set to begin March 3 in New York.
- Defense attorneys said they will enter plea talks that could resolve the unresolved charge without another jury trial.
- The most recent retrial last summer ended with a split result: one conviction, one acquittal, and no verdict on the remaining rape-related count.
- Weinstein remains incarcerated, and his separate 16-year California sentence from 2023 is under appeal.
