The highly anticipated rape retrial of disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein is set to begin on Tuesday, with opening statements expected to kick off the proceedings. Nearly three years have passed since Weinstein's initial conviction on sex crimes charges, but a New York appeals court overturned his conviction in 2022, citing errors in the jury instructions. Weinstein, 71, is now facing 11 counts of rape and other sex crimes, including allegations from two women who claim he assaulted them in separate incidents in the early 2000s. As the trial gets underway, prosecutors will have the opportunity to present their case and potentially bring Weinstein to justice for the crimes he is accused of committing.
