NEW YORK (AP) — 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 improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case.
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. The court ordered a new trial. His accusers could again be forced to relive their traumas on the witness stand.
Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction on charges of criminal sex act for forcibly performing oral sex on a TV and film production assistant in 2006 and rape in the third degree for an attack on an aspiring actress in 2013.

He’s part of the Big Club. You’re not.
The American judicial clown show goes on and on and on...
#MeToo was all about getting Trump.
Weinstein is loyal party member in good standing.
The Politburo had to put on a show so they could release him later when nobody was watching.
For sure. Especially if he actually did time and didn’t commit suicide.
#MeToo was all about getting Trump.

And his judicial nominations.
Isn’t it funny how things like #metoo and “civil rights” demonstrations kinda fell off the map since 2000???
You are so right.
Meryl Streep is overjoyed.
Bingo! The communists had to sacrifice some of their “Big Wheels” in order to bring down honest, decent Americans like Trump. The bass tards used a weaponized “justice system” and a huge stable of skanky whores from the #MeToo Ranch to get it done. The bass turds will pay for what they’ve done one of these days.
New York, The Rotten Apple
Hmmmm... Does Hollywood have enough fortitude left to challenge this?
Al Franken wasn’t exactly a “Big Wheel”, but point taken.
Harvey will cast himself in “I Love NY” ads.
Don’t mind the maggots....Shadoobie!
His only two problems are that he is White and Male.
Wait, does this mean that women actually can’t retroactively withdraw consent years later? I doubt that’s what it really means. It’s probably more along the lines of rewarding an ally for playing the game.
He’s their dolphin in a tuna net.
The rapin’ pig goes free because of New York courts.
RAT get no punishment for crimes in New York.
Look out women.
"Mom, the tuna doesn't taste as good as it used to."
In other news we now have proof that you if you’re in a high profile case, you can’t get a fair trial in NYC. Who knew?
