Harvey Weinstein returns to court for hearing on sex crime retrial in New York

Harvey Weinstein is set to appear in a New York court on Wednesday for a hearing related to his retrial on sex crime charges. The judge will consider a request to combine his original case with a new charge of assault. Weinstein's previous conviction was overturned earlier this year, leading to the retrial on charges of sexual assault from 2006 and 2013. The new charge involves an alleged assault in a Manhattan hotel in 2006. The trial is tentatively scheduled to start on November 12, but both sides have raised concerns about the timeline for preparation. Weinstein remains in custody at Rikers Island and has faced health issues while incarcerated.
