Harvey Weinstein맥스카지노�s retrial on sex crimes charges in Manhattan won맥스카지노�t start until at least next year 맥스카지노� and his lawyers plan to hire a private investigator to look into a new allegation against the movie mogul that will now be part of the case.The new details came as Weinstein appeared in court Wednesday for a pretrial hearing.Weinstein was already facing retrial on two sex crimes charges after the state맥스카지노�s highest court overturned his 2020 conviction earlier this year. In September, he was hit with a new charge accusing him of another assault. He has pleaded not guilty.On Wednesday, Judge Curtis Farber granted a prosecution request to consolidate both cases and agreed to push back the trial's start date, which had been tentatively scheduled for Nov. 12.Weinstein맥스카지노�s lawyers sought a date in March or April. Prosecutors said they were not opposed, but were prepared to go to trial as soon as January. Farber set the next pre-trial hearing for Jan. 29.맥스카지노�We맥스카지노�re going to need some time to investigate the case, hire a private investigator and dig more into discovery,맥스카지노� said Weinstein맥스카지노�s lawyer Arthur Aidala.Weinstein, seated in a wheelchair, held a copy of former President Barack Obama맥스카지노�s memoir 맥스카지노�A Promised Land맥스카지노� as he listened intently to the proceedings.Weinstein was convicted on charges that he forcibly performed oral sex on a TV and film production assistant in 2006, and rape in the third degree for an attack on an aspiring actor in 2013. In the new charge, prosecutors say he forced oral sex on a different woman in a Manhattan hotel in the spring of 2006.After the hearing, Aidala said he was 맥스카지노�somewhat disappointed맥스카지노� but not surprised by the judge맥스카지노�s decision to consolidate the cases.맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s right out of their playbook from the last time,맥스카지노� he said, referring to prosecutors. 맥스카지노�They맥스카지노�re going to put his personality and his demeanor on trial as opposed to the facts of the case on trial.맥스카지노�Weinstein맥스카지노�s lawyers had argued in court papers that the cases should remain separate, accusing prosecutors of attempting to transform the retrial into 맥스카지노�an entirely new proceeding.맥스카지노�But Farber sided with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg맥스카지노�s office, which had contended that holding a separate trial on the new charge would be 맥스카지노�extraordinarily inefficient맥스카지노� and waste judicial resources.In a written decision, Farber said lawyers for Weinstein had 맥스카지노�failed to establish that his right to a fair trial free of undue prejudice would be violated맥스카지노� if the two cases were merged.Aidala said the new accuser hasn맥스카지노�t yet been officially identified to defense lawyers.맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s much of the same where for years, decades, it맥스카지노�s been consensual, and then as of late, it맥스카지노�s not consensual,맥스카지노� he said.A lawyer for the accuser, who she said wants to be identified as 맥스카지노�Jane Doe맥스카지노� for now, said her client maintains her encounter with Weinstein was not consensual.맥스카지노�While Ms. Doe has previously chosen not to publicly share this painful portion of her experience, she has always remained consistent in her conversations with the Manhattan DA맥스카지노�s office,맥스카지노� attorney Lindsay Goldbrum said in a statement. 맥스카지노�Ms. Doe wants her privacy to be respected while she prepares for her testimony.맥스카지노�Aidala also pushed back on suggestions that Weinstein맥스카지노�s case echoes the federal sex trafficking case against rap mogul Sean 맥스카지노�Diddy맥스카지노� Combs, which includes allegations he coerced and abused women for years and silenced them through blackmail, threats and violence.맥스카지노�There맥스카지노�s no allegations of force, like physical force. There맥스카지노�s no allegations of drugs and filming and baby oil and all that stuff,맥스카지노� he said. 맥스카지노�This is all about people who knew each other, who went on dates, who fooled around. Everything was fine for years and years and years and now it맥스카지노�s not fine anymore.맥스카지노�Weinstein맥스카지노�s first trial included testimony from women who described being forcibly groped, physically cornered and shoved into objects by Weinstein, and kicking and punching him as they tried to wrestle out of his grip.He was acquitted at that trial of predatory sexual assault charges related to accusations by actress Annabella Sciorra, who had described a violent attack in her apartment in the 1990s. Prosecutors are barred from retrying him on those allegations.Aidala wouldn't elaborate on reports that Weinstein is dealing with a new health issue while behind bars.맥스카지노�I맥스카지노�m not going to get into any specifics except to say that Mr. Weinstein is a fighter and he맥스카지노�s here to fight this case and he맥스카지노�s going to fight with every ounce of strength in his body any health issues that he has,맥스카지노� he said.The 72-year-old former film producer has faced numerous health complications, including emergency heart surgery to remove fluid on his heart and lungs last month.Weinstein맥스카지노�s lawyers have argued 맥스카지노� so far unsuccessfully 맥스카지노� that he should be housed at Manhattan맥스카지노�s Bellevue Hospital rather than the city맥스카지노�s notorious Rikers Island jail complex.Sexual assault and harassment allegations against Weinstein turbocharged the #MeToo movement in 2017.The co-founder of the film and television production companies Miramax and The Weinstein Company was also convicted of rape in Los Angeles in 2022, though his lawyers have appealed.
