A landmark case is set to unfold in New York as Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced film producer, faces his third rape retrial. The highly anticipated trial comes nearly three years after Weinstein's initial conviction was overturned on appeal, and just months after his conviction was overturned for a second time due to juror misconduct. Weinstein, 71, is accused of raping a woman in 2013 and faces up to life in prison if convicted. The retrial is expected to be a closely watched test of the #MeToo movement's impact on the justice system.
