Miriam “Mimi” Haley, whose testimony about her former boss Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulting her was key to his 2020 conviction in New York, said on Friday that she is “considering” taking the stand again if the Miramax cofounder is retried.

During a press conference with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, Haley made her first comments about the New York Court of Appeals’ Thursday decision to overturn that conviction.

“We made progress of historic proportion when justice was served, and myself and the other women who trust testified were truly seen and heard by the judge and jury in this very public case,” she said, reading from a prepared statement.
