“The New York state Court of Appeals has overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction. The court, in a 4-3 ruling, ruled that the judge in the New York County trial prejudiced Weinstein with improper rulings, including allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. The court — the highest court in New York state’s judicial system — ruled that a new trial must take place. … Weinstein also went to trial in Los Angeles, where he was convicted in December 2022 of rape. That conviction means that Weinstein will remain in prison even if a new New York trial gets established.” (04/25/24)
