Woman who accused Weinstein ‘99% sure’ she’s prepared for retrial

A new trial date has been scheduled for Harvey Weinstein after his 2020 rape conviction was overturned. This news has been emotionally challenging for his victims, including Jessica Mann, who played a key role in putting Weinstein behind bars. Despite feeling suicidal initially, Mann sought support from her crisis team and is now focused on moving forward. Weinstein remains in jail for another 16 years, serving a sentence for a rape conviction in Los Angeles, with his legal team attempting to overturn that case as well. The decision to retry the case will depend on Mann and another accuser, Mimi Haley. Mann expressed her readiness to face another trial, although she acknowledged the psychological toll it takes. A tentative trial date has been set for after Labor Day.
