Opening Statements are expected to get underway today in former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes trial in New York City . Scott Pringle has details.

Weinstein faces rape and sex assault charges involving three alleged victims, a production assistant, and aspiring actress and an accuser who was not part of the first trial. That accuser is expected to testify. Weinstein was convicted in 2020 but that was overturned because of the way the witness process was handled. the retrial is expected to last into late May.
