2. SOUNDBITE (English) Imran Ansari, Weinstein’s attorney:
"I mean, the message is that we’re starting trial, opening statements are today, and Harvey Weinstein is committed to his defense. He is suffering from a litany of medical problems, that’s been established. He’s been taken out of Rikers Island (jail). He’s being housed at Bellevue Hospital so he could get that medical treatment. And we’re also hoping to go into court tomorrow in 60 Center Street, in civil term, to have that TRO, the temporary restraining order, which is housing him in Bellevue extended during the pendency of the trial so he could focus on his defense, focus on his health also and make sure that his health is being treated and the conditions are being treated properly while he goes into this trial."

STORYLINE:
Five years after Harvey Weinstein’s original #MeToo trial delivered a searing reckoning for one of Hollywood’s most powerful figures, the ex-studio boss is on trial again after an appeals court threw out his landmark rape conviction.
Opening statements started Wednesday in a trial that could take six weeks. Weinstein’s retrial is happening at the same Manhattan courthouse as the 2020 trial and two accusers from that trial are expected to testify again.
Weinstein’s retrial is playing out at a different cultural moment than the first, and along with the charges being retried, he faces an additional charge based on an allegation from a woman who wasn’t a part of the first case.
Two women who testified as witnesses in Weinstein’s 2020 trial, Tarale Wulff and Dawn Dunning, arrived to court Wednesday morning with attorney Lindsay Goldbrum. They are not expected to testify in this trial.
