- Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers hailed it “a great day for America” after the disgraced Hollywood mogul’s rape conviction was overturned on Thursday.
Weinstein was found guilty in 2020 of raping and assaulting two women, and is serving his 23-year sentence at a prison in upstate New York.
On Thursday, the New York court of appeals made a 4-3 decision to overturn his conviction, stating that the original trial judge made “egregious errors” by allowing prosecutors to call witnesses whose allegations were not related to the charges at hand.
Weinstein’s attorney Arthur Aidala heralded the decision and said that his client had been “tried on his character, not the evidence,” during press conference outside Manhattan criminal court.

I can't stand HW but I support his RIGHT to a fair trial. I'm FED UP with tyrannical judges in the lower courts!
"New York's highest court Thursday overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the former movie mogul with "egregious" improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that were not part of the case."
Pronoun cult bailed em out facts
