the disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by New York’s top court, on the basis that he did not receive a fair trial.
The New York Court of Appeals found that prosecutors were allowed to call witnesses whose accusations were not part of the trial.
The ruling said that meant he was tried on past behaviour and not solely on the crimes he was charged with.
Weinstein, who is now 72, will remain in prison for a separate conviction for rape. He
denies the allegations from Ashley Judd.
The New York court reached its decision on Thursday.

@captainbuggernut9565
Trial by media is never a good idea. His case was overturned because his conviction was unsafe. Its not particularly difficult concept to grasp.

Perverts and Pedaphiles are coddled by liberal judges and democrats

The guy is still in jail. The successful appeal in NY doesn’t mean to say he was innocent of the crimes there. The conviction was rightly overturned based on the issue of probity and to ensure due legal process, which apparently the original prosecution did not follow. Judge and prosecutors from the original trial should pay for the costs of any retrial. Either way the defendant will stay in jail and likely die there.

@electricman68
Did he actually rape them? Or he basically traded favors for sex? Cos I can’t imagine he locked up women and raped them.

@aronc24
So wouldn’t the unfair practices be the last judges fault? I’m just curious, who does this make look stupid for fudging the last trial? If I’m the prosecutor, I’m gonna do what the judge lets me, I’d think.

There is justice, but not in the court. You can, however, easily find it in the dictionary, under the letter "J".

Your body now looks rough Ashley you can keep your 'entitlement' to it.
@John-k6f9k
Nobody in the comments has any real knowledge of the Weinstein trial details. You're just following the stories told to you by the media like sheep. He's an unattractive and uncharismatic guy so you all want him to be 100% guilty and come up with conspiracy theories about corrupt judges. Stop pretending you care anyway, you don't know Weinstein and he's had no effect on your life at all. You're all just engaging in silly virtue signaling.
