Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, says his team is determined to retry case against the disgraced movie mogul
Harvey Weinstein will be retried in New York, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said on Wednesday, a week after the state’s highest court threw out his 2020 rape conviction.
Weinstein arrived at a Manhattan courthouse in the afternoon, his first appearance since the decision by the appeals court last week.
Wearing a navy blue suit, he was seated in a wheelchair pushed by a court officer as he entered the preliminary hearing in Manhattan that is expected to include discussion of evidence, scheduling and other matters, according to Weinstein’s attorney, Arthur Aidala.
The Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, said via his office staff that his team was determined to retry the case against the disgraced movie mogul.
Throw him away
Roll him away
Not that I don’t want to see him retried, but how is this not double jeopardy?
I would image it’s because the original trial was declared invalid (mis-trial). Not because he was found not guilty. Essentially no verdict has been reached, therefore double jeopardy isn’t applicable.
Is/was there no civil suit to at least take his fucking money?
Yeah one of the civil suits against him was successful:

Also he’s not out of jail, this is just his New York conviction. He was also criminally convicted in California.
That makes me happy. Thank you for being informed.
This entire time I thought it was steve harvey and was so excited.
I’m not even sure who this guy is.
