Harvey Weinstein conviction overturned

New York’s highest court on Thursday overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with “egregious” improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case.
“We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes,” the court’s 4-3 decision said. “The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial.”
The state Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures — an era that began in 2017 with a flood of allegations against Weinstein. His accusers could again be forced to relive their traumas on the witness stand.

So basically they didn’t follow procedure? But everyone still knows he did at least some of what was alleged?

If my daughter was one of his victims, that dude would be hanging from a bridge

They let women testify that said he assaulted them, but some of the women were not a part of the charges.
Will be retried and still found guilty
I would guess they will still hold him in jail until his the retrial. No bail

Honestly that sounds like more than just not following procedure or a minor mistake. It sounds like the judge allowed evidence in trial that should have never been allowed in. He'll still get found guilty at retrial.

Did Harvey have the same judge that Trump currently has/had?

He’s one of “them” so you knew they wouldn’t keep him locked up.

Not surprising. At all. Word for word what is happening with the Trump case in NY

Interesting that the NY court reversed this ruling, while probably legally appropriate thing to do considering some of the Judges rulings. It will be interesting to see if Donal Trump gets some of the same treatment, considering the Bias rulings from the 3 court cases he has had/is having in NY.

I really don’t think you know what rape or sexual assault means.

Contrast this with how fake rape allegations against a former POTUS are going in NY.
If you are a Democrat, you will be protected at all costs. It really is amazing to watch all of this unfold.
