Harvey Weinstein wants to be seen as a ‘pitiful old guy’ as he starts bid for second rape retrial despite victims’ anger

DESPERATE Harvey Weinstein has nothing to lose and his legal team is ready to “seize on an opening,” a top criminal defense attorney has told The U.S. Sun about his controversial California retrial attempt.

The disgraced movie mogul’s lawyer, Caroline Bonjean, is set to file a claim at California’s 2nd Appellate District on Monday, fueled by the shock decision by the New York Court of Appeals demanding a retrial of the case which resulted in a 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges.
