Prosecutors asked for a September retrial for Harvey Weinstein during a hearing at a Manhattan courthouse Wednesday, the disgraced movie mogul's first appearance since his 2020 rape conviction was overturned by an appeals court last week. Weinstein, wearing a navy blue suit, was seated in a wheelchair pushed by a court officer as he entered the preliminary hearing.
Prosecutors said one of the accusers, Jessica Mann, who was in court Wednesday, is prepared to testify again and suggested locking in a date after Labor Day for the retrial. Aidala said his client wants to prove his innocence: “It's a new trial. It’s a new day.” The once-powerful studio boss was also convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape and is still sentenced to 16 years in prison in California.
