Harvey Weinstein's New York rape retrial began this week as jurors prepared to hear opening statements in the high-profile criminal case. He faces charges tied to allegations of rape and sexual assault by multiple women that helped spark the broader #MeToo movement. The retrial follows appeals and legal proceedings stemming from the original New York trial. Prosecutors will tell jurors they can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt with testimony and evidence. Defense lawyers will seek to cast doubt on memory and consent.
