In a highly anticipated and closely watched case, jurors are set to hear opening statements in the rape retrial of disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. The 70-year-old film producer is facing multiple charges of rape and predatory sexual assault, stemming from allegations made by two women. Weinstein was previously convicted in 2020 of two counts of rape and a sex crime, but his conviction was overturned on appeal in 2022 due to concerns about the handling of evidence by the prosecution. As Weinstein prepares to face a new jury, his defense team is expected to challenge the credibility of his accusers and argue that the prosecution's case relies on questionable evidence.
