The retrial in New York of Harvey Weinstein -- whose moviemaking prowess once wowed Hollywood -- won't be coming to a courtroom anytime soon, if ever, legal experts said on a day when one of two women considered crucial to the case said she wasn't sure she would testify again.

Naftalis said both sides may seek a resolution such as a plea that will eliminate the need to put his accusers through the trauma of a second trial. If they are, then Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg "will absolutely retry the case," said Manning, who prosecuted sex crimes when she was in the Queens district attorney's office in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Bragg's office put out a statement soon after the appeals ruling was made public Thursday, saying it will "do everything in our power to retry this case." During the news conference with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, Haley said the appeals ruling was "a terrible decision that sends an extremely disheartening message to victims of sexual assaults everywhere."She said testifying was "retraumatizing, exhausting and terrifying" and she could not yet decide if she would testify at a retrial while "we're all in a bit of shock" from the court ruling."It's like insane. It's grueling. It's hard.

It takes a physical and mental and emotional toll," Rosenbaum said.
