Harvey Weinstein's retrial on sex crimes postponed to next year as lawyer seeks investigator

Harvey Weinstein's retrial on sex crimes in Manhattan has been postponed until at least next year. His lawyer plans to hire a private investigator to address a new allegation that will be included in the case. Weinstein's previous conviction was overturned earlier this year, and he now faces an additional charge of assault from 2006. A judge will decide on a new trial date by January 29, 2025. Prosecutors requested to consolidate the cases, citing significant overlaps. Weinstein's lawyers argued against this, claiming it would change the nature of the retrial. He remains in custody at Rikers Island.
