Part 5/6:
Despite ongoing legal proceedings, Weinstein remains incarcerated. The core questions surrounding his case reflect broader themes in the #MeToo movement — issues of justice, credibility, and the influence of media narratives on legal processes. His case exemplifies the complex intersection of legal rigor, public opinion, and the quest for accountability in cases of sexual misconduct.

This retrial and Weinstein’s continued imprisonment serve as a form of a referendum on the #MeToo movement’s legacy. Eight years after the initial waves of accusations, society grapples with questions about fairness, the power dynamics involved, and the effectiveness of the movement in achieving its justice goals.
