Weinstein's rape conviction to have a re-trial
The New York Court of Appeals and the prosecutors on the case have intentions to retry the actor's oral sex and rape convictions. This decision was made on the grounds that the jurors were exposed to evidence that was unrelated to the case. So, a precise re-trial will give the actor another chance to get out of prison.
The change in the prosecutor's mind could also be due to Weinstein's physical deterioration. However, the latter will remain under custody and will be treated for his ailments under supervision until the re-trial takes place. Weinstein's lawyer also mentions that he may physically look sick but mentally he is "sharp as a tack."
