Harvey Weinstein is set for retrial starting April 15, 2024, on sexual assault charges. At a recent court hearing, he pleaded with Judge Curtis Farber to expedite the date due to severe health issues, including leukemia and diabetes, and described the conditions at Rikers Island as a "medieval hell hole." Weinstein expressed that every day at the facility is a struggle and fears he might not live to see the trial. He is also facing new allegations alongside existing charges involving two victims. Judge Farber is considering moving the trial date forward by a week.
