Accusers of Harvey Weinstein want new trial after overturned rape and assault conviction
cnn.com/2024/04/25/us/accusers-harvey-weinstein-conviction-overturned/
Quick Glance: New York Overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction
- New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial rulings by the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial.
- The State Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures, ordering a new trial where his accusers might have to relive their traumas.
- Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction, but will remain imprisoned due to another rape conviction in Los Angeles in 2022.
- This decision marks another setback for #MeToo, following the US Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal in the Bill Cosby case, where his sexual assault conviction was overturned by a Pennsylvania court.
