Sex Crime Cases: Should Weinstein Face One or Two Trials?

Harvey Weinstein, the once-powerful movie producer, is in a legal battle. Prosecutors in New York want to combine his two sex crime cases into one trial. They argue that it's more efficient and saves resources. Weinstein's lawyers, however, disagree. They say the prosecutors are trying to sneak in new charges during the retrial. A judge will decide soon.

Meanwhile, the retrial had been set to start in November. Prosecutors plan to call around 12-15 witnesses to support both the new and old charges. Experts will discuss Weinstein's power in the entertainment industry, adding to the picture of the imbalance between him and his alleged victims. Weinstein's team is not happy. They claim prosecutors have had information about the latest charges for a long time but kept quiet. The latest accuser's story has also changed over time.
