New York Judge Postpones Weinstein Sentencing Until Later This Year

The delay reflects the court’s plan to launch a separate retrial on a third-degree rape charge brought by Jessica Mann.

Overview

  • The New York Supreme Court delayed sentencing in the Miriam Haley sexual assault case and said a new date will be set before year-end.
  • Weinstein is due back in court on October 9, though officials have not specified whether that appearance will be for sentencing or to advance the separate case.
  • A jury on June 11 found him guilty of first-degree sexual assault against Haley, a count that carries up to 25 years in prison with six years credited as time served.
  • Juror turmoil led Judge Curtis Farber to declare a mistrial on a separate third-degree rape charge tied to Jessica Mann, and prosecutors intend to retry that case this fall with the exact date pending.
  • Defense attorney Arthur Aidala says the Haley verdict will be appealed, while Weinstein continues serving a 16-year sentence from his 2023 Los Angeles conviction.
