8. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Sisak, The Associated Press:
"In the meantime, the judge saying that he would sentence Harvey Weinstein on that conviction, an allegation, a conviction that he performed forcible oral sex on a woman in 2006, a charge that carries a sentence of up to 25 years in prison. The judge said he may sentence Harvey Weinstien on that count on September 30th, but only if the other charge is resolved."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Arthur Aidala, Weinstein Attorney:
"On September 30th, the judge wants to know whether the trial of Jessica Mann is going forward or not. The prosecutor has the power to say, Judge, we’re gonna dismiss the count. Again, it’s an e-felony. The maximum amount of time, I believe, is three years. Mr. Weinstein already has in, jail time-wise, six years."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Arthur Aidala, Weinstein Attorney:
"Common sense would dictate to not put someone through that again when in the big picture, even if Mr. Weinstein got convicted of Jessica Mann, it would probably have very little effect on what his ultimate sentence would be."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Sisak, The Associated Press:
"So a lot of parts here. A possible sentencing in September, but also a possible trial in the fall. And if the trial happens, there won’t be any sentencing until the entire case. The conviction, the acquittal, and then the unresolved charge until that’s all resolved."

STORYLINE:
Harvey Weinstein faces sentencing and a possible retrial in his New York City sex crimes case, but when they’ll happen — and whether he’ll be back in front of another jury — is still up in the air.
Manhattan Judge Curtis Farber said Wednesday he could sentence Weinstein on Sept. 30 — but only if there’s no retrial on a rape charge that the last jury failed to reach a verdict on.
