Justice - A new Weinstein trial starts on the 12th of November or earlier

A judge in New York has tentatively set the start date for a new trial against former film mogul Harvey Weinstein on November 12. If the preparations are completed sooner, an earlier start date is also possible, Judge Curtis Farber reportedly said according to consistent media reports. The 72-year-old Weinstein was present at the brief court hearing in a wheelchair.

Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2020 for sexual offenses. In late April, a court in New York surprisingly overturned the historic conviction due to procedural errors. Numerous supporters and activists of the MeToo movement expressed outrage. The prosecution announced their intention to re-try the case.

However, Weinstein remains in prison as he was sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2023 in another criminal trial in Los Angeles, where sexual offenses were also alleged. His lawyers are challenging this verdict as well.

The first Weinstein trial marked a milestone in legal history. The case had triggered the MeToo movement significantly. Since 2017, over 80 women have publicly accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct. The ex-producer has always denied any wrongdoing and claimed that all sexual acts were consensual.

1. The re-trial against Harvey Weinstein, who is currently in prison due to a previous conviction in New York, is set to begin on November 12, according to Judge Curtis Farber's tentative schedule.
2. The Public Prosecutor's Office in the United States of America has expressed their determination to uphold justice and re-try Weinstein, following the unexpected overturning of his historic conviction due to procedural errors.
3. The people of New York and supporters of the MeToo movement have shown their concern and outrage over the overturning of Weinstein's conviction, as they believe the process of justice has been disrupted.
4. Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of criminality by over 80 people, will face a new trial in New York, where he was initially convicted for sexual offenses.
5. The re-trial of Weinstein in the United States will be closely watched by society, as it presents an opportunity to reaffirm societal values and strive for a fair and just process in the court.
