Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein sex crimes trial in Los Angeles begins Monday
However, since New York's highest court has given the 70-year-old Weinstein a chance of walking free, the trial takes on new significance.Weinstein faces 11 charges involving the sexual assault of five women between 2004 and 2013 in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.
Supporters of the "Me Too" movement are concerned because California courts have a reputation for being soft on entertainment figures. If convicted in California, Weinstein faces a life sentence, regardless of the outcome of his New York appeal.Despite the interest in the case, cameras will not be allowed in the courtroom.
