Propensity Evidence Ruled Out in Weinstein's Retrial
The retrial hearing for Weinstein takes place after the court ruled out testimony of prior bad acts witnesses, deeming it unnecessary to prove defendant's intent and only showing his propensity to commit crimes. Weinstein was previously convicted and sentenced to 23 years in prison for sexual assault and rape. Despite this, there will be a retrial where he seems confident to prove himself after serving time. The discussion also speculates on his potential to work in the industry upon release.
