Harvey Weinstein returns to New York court for hearing ahead of retrial on sex crime charges

Harvey Weinstein appeared in a New York court for a hearing related to his retrial on sex crime charges. The judge approved a request to combine his original case with a new charge into a single trial. Weinstein's 2020 conviction was overturned earlier this year. He now faces retrial on two charges and a new allegation of assault from 2006, which he has pleaded not guilty to. The trial is tentatively set to begin on November 12, but both sides have expressed concerns about the timeline for preparation. Weinstein remains in custody at Rikers Island.
