Harvey Weinstein Weighs Testimony in Manhattan Retrial

TL;DR Summary
Harvey Weinstein has decided not to testify in his New York sex crimes retrial, which is moving towards closing arguments, as jurors prepare to deliberate. Weinstein, who has previously been convicted and is appealing in California, faces charges from three women alleging sexual assault and rape. His defense argues the encounters were consensual, and the case has featured emotional testimonies from the accusers. Weinstein's absence from the stand leaves the case to be decided solely on the evidence presented.
