NEW YORK (AP) — Jury selection is set to begin Tuesday in Harvey Weinstein’s retrial in New York. The last time a New York jury sat in judgment of Weinstein, the ex-movie studio boss was convicted of rape and sentenced to 23 years in prison. But New York’s highest court overturned that conviction. The ruling has given Weinstein a second chance to fight the charges, and do so in a different atmosphere than his first trial, which was held in the middle of a global reckoning over sexual misconduct. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty and denies that he raped or sexually assaulted anyone. The judge has set aside at least four days for jury selection. Opening statements are expected next week.
