In early 2020, the most coveted seat in downtown New York was a spot in Harvey Weinstein’s sex crimes trial.
For four weeks, about 70 reporters and 30 public citizens endured frigid temperatures to secure a seat inside the 15th floor courtroom where Weinstein dodged questions from camera crews and ate fistfuls of candy as witnesses testified about how he lured them in with promises of career opportunities before sexually assaulting them.
On Wednesday, Weinstein was wheeled into Manhattan criminal court for the first time since his rape conviction was overturned in a shock decision.
