The use of "coming weeks" implies that whatever event is happening is going to last longer than a week or that the exact week isn't known yet. For example, the prison sentencing process can take up to months to finish so the "coming weeks" would be most appropriate. However, if it is known when he is exactly sentenced it would be this "coming week" on the first of June.
