NY: Harvey Weinstein Trial Begins In NYC
DOVER, Del. (AP) — A Delaware judge has approved a revised Weinstein Co. bankruptcy plan that provides about $35 million for creditors, with roughly half that amount going to women who’ve accused disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct.
A federal bankruptcy court approved the liquidation plan for Harvey Weinstein's now-defunct studio, including $17 million for victims. Paul Zumbro of @Cravath said he's "pleased that this very difficult chapter in the lives of many people can now be put behind them"

The judge approved the plan following a hearing Monday and overruled objections by attorneys representing four women.
The settlement amount is $11.5 million less than under a previous bankruptcy plan. That plan was scrapped after a federal judge in New York refused to approve a proposed $19 million settlement between Weinstein and some of his accusers.
