Harvey Weinstein Awaits November 2024 Retrial

Harvey Weinstein will remain in New York until his retrial on sex crimes charges in Manhattan is completed, following which he will be returned to California to serve his 16-year sentence for rape. The retrial was granted after New York's highest court overturned his 2020 conviction due to the admission of irrelevant testimony. Weinstein's retrial is scheduled to begin in November 2024, and he will stay at Rikers Island during this period. Despite the overturned conviction, Weinstein's legal team is relieved he remains in New York for better access to his legal counsel. Weinstein, who denies all charges, has been dealing with multiple health issues, including diabetes and COVID-19. California remains the primary sentence, as confirmed by Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.
