NEW YORK (AP) — Legal experts say the retrial in New York of Harvey Weinstein won’t be coming to a courtroom anytime soon, if ever.

Prosecutors say Weinstein forced young actors to submit to his prurient desires by dangling his ability to make or break their careers. Several lawyers said in interviews Friday that it would be a long road to reach a new trial of the ailing movie mogul, who remains behind bars due to a conviction in a similar case in California.
