Harvey Weinstein returned to a Manhattan criminal court on Wednesday after reporting feeling ill, as the jury continued deliberating in his rape retrial. The former Hollywood mogul appeared in court on May 13, 2026, following a brief absence due to chest pain.
Jury Deliberations Continue
The jury is currently weighing evidence in the retrial, which stems from allegations of sexual assault. Weinstein's health scare caused a temporary pause in proceedings, but he was later deemed fit to return. His legal team has not commented on the incident.
Background of the Case
Weinstein is facing multiple charges in the retrial, which follows a previous conviction that was overturned on appeal. The case has been closely watched as a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement. The prosecution presented testimony from several accusers, while the defense argued inconsistencies in their accounts.
The jury began deliberations earlier this week and is expected to continue until a verdict is reached. Weinstein remains free on bail pending the outcome.
