Harvey Weinstein appeared in court for the retrial of his sexual assault case, which was overturned in April 2024 due to the judge’s bias. The original jury foreman, Bernard Cody, stands by the verdict from the first trial. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the assault of three women, including Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann, who testified previously. Weinstein also faces a new charge for allegedly assaulting a third woman, Jane Doe. Weinstein, who expressed confidence in a different outcome this time, is currently held in jail on other charges. His lawyer acknowledged the challenge of finding an impartial jury due to Weinstein’s public reputation. Cody, the former jury foreman, advises potential jurors to listen carefully and make the right decision in this high-profile case.
