NY Court Overturns Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction in 4-3 Ruling, New Trial Ordered
Apr 25, 2024, 01:24 PM
Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction in New York has been overturned by the state's highest court in a 4-3 ruling, which ordered a new trial. The decision was based on findings that the trial judge had made improper rulings, including allowing testimony about uncharged crimes related to an attack on Jessica Mann. This reversal is a significant development in a case that has been central to the #MeToo movement. Despite the overturned conviction, Weinstein will remain incarcerated due to a separate 2022 conviction in Los Angeles, where he was sentenced to 16 years for another rape.
