Harvey Weinstein to appear in NYC court next week in first step toward retrial [Video]

Harvey Weinstein, whose sex crimes conviction was just overturned by New York’s highest court, is expected to take his first step toward being retried when he appears in court next week.

He is scheduled to appear in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, after the New York Court of Appeals overturned his conviction on sex crimes against three women.

The district attorney’s office said it intends to retry Weinstein if the complaining witnesses are willing to participate in another trial.

“At the Manhattan D.A.’s Office, our Special Victims Division fights each and every day to center survivors, uplift their voices, and seek justice for these horrific crimes,” a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement. “Our mission is to center survivors’ experiences and wellbeing in every decision we make, which we will do as we approach the next steps in this case.”
