Harvey Weinstein returns to court for hearing before retrial on sex crime charges

Harvey Weinstein is scheduled to appear in a New York court on Wednesday for a hearing before his retrial on sex crime charges. The judge will consider a request from prosecutors to combine his current case with a new charge. Weinstein's previous conviction was overturned earlier this year. He now faces retrial for two sex crimes and a new charge of assaulting a different woman in 2006. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The trial is tentatively set to begin on November 12, but both sides have raised concerns about the timeline for preparation. Weinstein remains in custody at Rikers Island and has experienced health issues while incarcerated.
