NEW YORK—Harvey Weinstein’s retrial next month will largely be an abridged version of the original, with one big addition: a charge based on an allegation from a woman who was not a part of the first case.
But at a key pretrial hearing Wednesday, the disgraced movie mogul’s lawyers cautioned that because Weinstein’s 2020 rape and sexual assault conviction was overturned, the past isn’t prologue—it’s almost entirely irrelevant.
