"We believe in this case... to that end Jessica Mann is in court today," said prosecutor Nicole Blumberg. "She is committed to seeing justice served once again.But Weinstein's lawyer Arthur Aidala insisted "he was acquitted of the most serious counts," accusing the prosecutor in the original New York trial of perjuring herself.

Gloria Allred, a victims' rights lawyer for Haley, said her client "has not yet taken a decision about whether she will agree to testify in a retrial." Bombshell allegations broke against the Oscar-winning producer in 2017, launching the #MeToo movement, a watershed moment for women fighting sexual misconduct.
