He said even a week sooner in April would be a positive development. Farber said he could potentially move the trial up a week and would circle back to the issue at the next hearing in March. Weinstein is set to face charges from two indictments including two counts of first degree criminal sexual act and one count third-degree rape involving allegations from three different women. Attorneys for Weinstein had argued that the first-degree criminal sexual act charge against Weinstein brought in the newer indictment last fall should be dismissed because prosecutors improperly delayed charging him with the count tied to a allegation.
Judge Farber had previously ruled that Weinstein can face that count and a retrial on two counts from a indictment. Though the New York conviction was vacated by the appeals court, Weinstein remains in custody in New York serving a sentence in connection to a separate conviction on sexual assault charges in Los Angeles. His attorneys have continuously advocated for better treatment for their ailing client, citing a lengthy list of ailments including a cancer diagnosis.
