Harvey Weinstein Retrial Set for November

Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction was overturned in April and a new trial is scheduled to begin on November 12. However, Judge Curtis Farber has expressed openness to starting the trial earlier than previously planned, potentially as early as September. Prosecutors are planning to file additional violent sexual assault charges against Weinstein. The upcoming retrial will focus on evidence from phones that will be reviewed by a former judge to determine relevance to the case. Despite the new trial date, prosecutors continue to seek new claims against Weinstein, while his lawyers aim to proceed as soon as possible.
