Weinstein's attorney said outside the courthouse that his client was eager to get things moving and not interested in a plea deal

"He doesn't want the word rape associated with him," Attorney Arthur Aidala said when asked if Weinstein would take a plea deal.

A jury in June convicted the disgraced movie mogul of sexually assaulting one woman, acquitted him of assaulting another, but could not reach a verdict in a third case. The judge wants another retrial to be held this year.
