Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction in New York has been overturned, on the basis that he did not receive a fair trial.
The New York Court of Appeals said prosecutors in the pivotal #MeToo case called witnesses whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.
The court said that meant he was unfairly tried for past behaviour, and ordered a new trial.
Weinstein, 72, will remain in prison for a separate conviction for rape. He
denies the allegations from Ashley Judd.

EXCELLENT DECISION. The trial was a sham and so was the verdict. Period.

@Smileyfacefamileyguy
Digusting. This is an outrage!! Things need to change to keep these monsters in prison for the rest of their lives
@maysanderson7741
prejudicial? What in the world makes the courts not allow ALL evidence to be heard. Regardless if the perpetrator thinks it is "fair"

Meryl Streep addressed him as God. Michelle Obama called him a wonderful person and dear friend and mentor to her daughter
@taramartin1909
what is wrong with the law. Fear not, those who are rich can not always get way with it -there was no unfair trial, just well paid lawyers making an argument. Harvey is a predator, a rapist and should remain in jail till his dying day.

Me too, movement is a fraud.
@fordithwilliam5027
Well, he can go to the immigrants and homeless and never get caught. Luck was on his side with his most recent rape.
@magnacz
Its like OJ Sipson he is guilty but they improved on the evidence so he goes free in this case.

In a 2003 H0ward Stern interview, Tarantino defended the director R0man P0lanski against charges that Polanski had r4p3d then-13-year-old Samantha Geimer in 1977.
Tarantino said his then-girlfriend Mira Sorvino told him in the mid-1990s about her experience with Weinstein.
On February 3, 2018, in an interview with The New York Times, Kill Bill actress Uma Thurman said Weinstein had s3xu4lly ass4ulted her, and that she had reported this to Tarantino. Tarantino said he confronted Weinstein. He banned him from contact with Thurman for the remainder of the film's production.

@mikeck4609
It has to do with the improper admission of evidence. Whether or not it “is a blow to the me too movement” is irrelevant. The left loves when a criminal’s conviction is overturned….unless it’s for a crime that matters to them
