Harvey Weinstein is set to make his first court appearance in New York since his 2020 rape conviction was overturned by an appeals court last week. The preliminary hearing scheduled in Manhattan will cover various matters such as evidence, scheduling, and more, as confirmed by Weinstein's attorney.
Despite being hospitalized shortly after his return to the city jail system, the 72-year-old Weinstein is expected to attend the hearing. He has been undergoing tests due to his cardiac issues and diabetes. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has expressed its intention to retry the case against Weinstein, a process that legal experts anticipate may be lengthy and dependent on the willingness of the women he is accused of assaulting to testify again.
