Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Conviction Overturned for Lack of “Fair Trial”

The case involving a 72 year old Hollywood star, HARVEY WEINSTEIN, who was convicted of rape in Los Angeles in 2020has been overturned in New York 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 decision also said the trial judge compounded the error by letting WEINSTEIN to be cross-examined in a way that portrayed him in a “highly prejudicial” light.   While 72 year old WEINSTEIN remains in prison, lawyers for the victims said the decision to retry the case was tragic and a leap backwards.
