- 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.

he still going to jail in California..
Unless this verdict also gets overturned.
"Jail" 😂
Woke justice NY and woke justice in CA. He will probably be free and back to work in a couple of years.
Since when do woke judges sympathise with rapists? .@@synapticflow
Obviously you can buy your own version of justice
UNLESS you're a Rich republican like Trump and Rudy...Then they will SWAT your mansion and drag you through the courts for the smallest most trivial garbage you can imagine. NO Rules for Democrats and EVERY Rule for Republicans.
What is this crap?!! Absolutely not. Now we look at the judge who overturned this ruling. "Too prejudicial" when not only more than 1 victim testified, but up to 100 and more?!?!?! Tell me you don't give a sh*t about the law without telling us you don't give a sh*t about the law. #judicialreformnow
Because there is no evidence and is baslesss allegations
Yeah, I remember from what little I know about law. You can't do what the first judge allowed. I'd be looking at that judge rather than the judges who now have to overturn it.
I mean, you get tried for what you are getting tried for. You can't then bring up other crimes to try and slander the person you have on trial. Have to ask why they allowed that?
The judge knows what he did wrong and is now paying the price for putting his thumb on the scale.
Actually, the judge who overturned the ruling was following the law.
Eye witness testimony is largely unreliable because it's not evidence - so it shouldn't be presented as such. Let alone cases not related to the trial itself.
the judge there did not do everything properly, so they have to do it again. this is only one of his many convictions.
How big was that envelope??
It wasn't bad or an electronic wire transfer.
"Anti-Prosecution judge". How is that okay? If a judge has a known bias then they shouldn't be a judge. This is lunacy.
the woman is full of sh** the judge is pro womans rights. many legal experts saw this coming
All judges have certain biases, they're human after all. They're supposed to disqualify themselves in a case where he or she is biased and to hear all cases where he or she is not biased. But obviously it doesn't happen often, and it's very hard to prove actual bias.
Basically a judge must be shown to be *so* committed to a particular outcome that evidence and arguments presented will _never_ alter that outcome.
It's very delicate to actually prove...
Everyone in jail/prison knows which judges are fair and which one are hardcore headcases, but "everyone knows" isn't proof...
Precedent rulings aren't proof either, nor is a general predisposition. It's tough.
How much were they paid????
Right!*
You need to learn more about the due process and law. Every legal analysis said this would happen for the very decision the judge made and it did.
Disgraceful
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.
Money really can buy anything. What a joke.
YOU KNOW IT!
Of course it does.
Funny how it's not a "fair trial" to convict Weinstein of rape because women testified that he sexually assaulted them...But yet it's a "fair trial" to convict Trump of FRAUD even tho the banks who gave him the loans NEVER said he defrauded them and Trump didn't over-value his Maralago Estate and make him pay 400 Million dollars in damages. What a fkin DEMOCRAT clown world we live in.
HE ain't getting out. He has charges against him in California.
He'll most definitely get out in California. We all know where democrat priorities lie, especially those he donated to.
@@Berserker006 We on the Left may have liked some of his films..but we simply did Not KNOW, at the time, about the things he was Doing.
Money wins again!.... What a surprise.
Unless you're a Republican with money like Trump...then Justice aint so Blind.
Anyone else smell a rat? Why did the judge do something that could throw a trial, and what a silly way to do it?
It was 4 rats!! The four judges that overturn the case.
@@bo2.4u6 you don't think the judge who didn't follow due process might be the actual rat? There's no chance they didn't know this would happen. It was even said at the time this would happen.
@@bo2.4u6
While Weinstein is most likely guilty, the judge who allowed random people to make statements against him for unrelated crimes to the one he was in court for is absolutely in the wrong.
Its like OJ Sipson he is guilty but they improved on the evidence so he goes free in this case.
There are too many 'hand-picked' officials in America......!
Money speaks, he joins the club of O.J. and Bill Cosby.
and Michael Jackson.
@@ralphee7487 Yep.
And Trump, Biden, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Kevin Spacey
and other democrats - Biden, Bill clinton, woody Allen, Epstein, Spacey
and never foregt he was Michelles good friend
MRS. OBAMA: I want to start by thanking Harvey Weinstein for organizing this amazing day. (Applause.) Harvey. This is possible because of Harvey. He is a wonderful human being, a good friend and just a powerhouse. And the fact that he and his team took the time to make this happen for all of you should say something not about me or about this place, but about you. Everybody -- we are here because of you.
Whoopi Goldberg, Naomie Harris, Ryan Coogler, David Frankel, Blake Lively -- all of us are here because of you. And of course, my dear friend Gayle King is here. We are here because of you. So let's welcome everybody here. (Applause.)
He needs to be released on health grounds.
The horrible/cruel/heinous/unjustifiable sex offender registry & all the other laws/acts connected to it must be repealed(no new law taking its place) now!
We've entered the "#wasn't me" era
1:11 what the glitch
Money.
They tried to do this quietly... 6 days ago smh
The wheel chair will be gone,when hes free. Lol. The dirty baggage. Money talks and bullpoo walks. 🐊
prejudicial? What in the world makes the courts not allow ALL evidence to be heard. Regardless if the perpetrator thinks it is "fair"
Why did the other judges recuse themselves? Someone was blackmailed or paid off here.
This is embarrassing
This is just the last straw. There is no proper justice for rapists and pedophiles. This neess to change! NOW
Disgusting
The judge in the original trial needs to go to prison for not doing his job properly. If not then it portray's the image to the rest of the world that the American legal system is falling apart.
Lawyers: " You've got the crime, I've got the brains. Let's make lots of money."
The 1% win again.... and their lawyers shall inherit the earth.
Money Money MONEY.
So the judge is also a creep
My prayers are with the victims
Folks, remember the Jewish community is very powerful. Full stop. Enough said.
So does that make him a free man, or are there more charges keeping him fettered? I assume he's spent the last bit of time incarcerated.
Digusting. This is an outrage!! Things need to change to keep these monsters in prison for the rest of their lives
The victims have been insulted and abused again, and the non-human victim of the justice system receives another blow. But don't worry, it can take endless harm? I think no.
Meryl Streep addressed him as God. Michelle Obama called him a wonderful person and dear friend and mentor to her daughter
Politics is politics. Prayers
Wtf
if talking does not work know you can rely on an axe
EXCELLENT DECISION. The trial was a sham and so was the verdict. Period.
Democrats came through for him. Lets not be fooled here, thats exactly what happened.
An important signal to the world. The verdict against Harvey Weinstein has been overturned. When the street mop found its way into courtrooms around the world via social media, only injustice could be spoken. I expressly welcome this new decision.
Harvey got metooed.Lets's charge every guy with historical sex abuse
He’s above the law.
No he’s not
Huh. Didn't expect that.
me too two
So this is saying to me that this is ok to abuse kids in America why was this not broadcast in America news 😊Weinsten i hope and pray to my God that he will hold you accountable for all you did to the young children 🙏
Miss this wrong case, this person is a snake but no kids have never come forward that was assualt by this man. Grown Woman had come forward too many!
Due process of law. This is good.
Selected not elected
GO HARVEY, LET'S PARTY!🎉
Terrible and terrifying!
Money talks…..
What a Base Tee
😡🤬🤯
☕️
Its great. This is what happens when you spread baseless allegations
i Wouldn't exactly call it baseless when he got off on a technicality
@@fiel81 the judge was impartial. That's not a "technicality" and prejudiced the jury. It is basless
It was a technicality.
@@LadyScaper no it wasn't.
I do not know what it is about an axe but I feel more able to handle situations when I hold this axe it works for me usually I get my points across with this axe
😮 THE FIX WAS IN! EXCEPTIONAL PERFECTION OF AN INSIDE JOB!
Good for him. Those people knew exactly what they were doing - and gained exactly what they wanted from him. One person went back to him over 50 times
He is never welcome to visit my decent town. 🚫🚫
Mr Weinstein is a handsome brute !
Toxic Judaism in an era where calling out a genocide is considered antisemitic.
YOU are an Anti-Semite! The Vast majority of us Jews (Men and Women Alike) are Ashamed of what Weinstein did.
뿐만아니라 수십명의 아이돌및여배우가 당하고 살고있고 자기발로가서 당하거나 약먹여서 데려가서 당하고 때로는 배달하는척하며 가서 당하고 온다
🤣🤮jzs 🚩
So is he out of jail?
Who didn't see this coming? I GUARANTEE that judge is Jewish helping out a fellow "tiny hat". I'm not even going to look up the judge's name because i already know it's going to be something like "silvergoldbergstein"
R kelly next
When you find yourself rooting for sexual predators, there's something wrong with your life...
They are letting him go free to catch another's. One soul for another soul. Who could that be???
No don't be silly
The system works 😊
Yes, for the rich only.
For the ultra rich. Yes.
I don’t think it does
GO HARVEY!
Disgraceful total corruption
المسلمون والعرب هم محور الاحداث في آخر الزمان وغيرهم مجرد كومبارس لم يذكروا في الاثر الا قليلا الا ترى تنافس الامم في الفوز بودّ العرب (مقاتلين) وارضهم (ثروات) بحمده🌿
So he beat the rap . Will hollywood love him again. Don't get to close

How much was the Judge paid by israel?
Me too movement was bogus anyway….
Thanks Matthew Crosby, clearly you have both the experience, knowledge and competency to weigh in on this matter credibly. [sarcasm]
100% it was all a bunch of lies by a bunch of greedy untalented actresses. 💰
How so?
Not at the beginning but when people lost their jobs because they had a bad date and were maybe just a jerk.
It ended up being a power grab where a simple accusation destroyed lives. Depp/Heard was a good example of this. Believe all women or anyone else by mear accusation was a bad idea in every way.
OVERTURNED?!?!?!?!?!?!? Some people were mislabeled 'chosen' & 'kippah' getting away with it!!! 4B 4B 4B 4B
Of course he did. He had an eternal victim card. Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, Grenville Janner etc etc. No ones assaulting Jewish women and we are all supposed to be antisemitic
Uhhh....Gwyneth Paltrow, and a few other of his accusers, were Half-Jewish at Least.
@@drpoundsign no, his defenders you clown. Paltrow defended him. Brian Singer, Dustin Hoffman, dozens named in the me too movement not jailed. Roman Polanski still winning those Oscars.
No Wonder. A rich Jew in Prison, never!!
So he never got fair trial basically the court said
Selling kitty and crying about it later 🤑🤑
Justice just took a HUGE shyt on the metoo SHAM. free R.Kelly!!!
I had same problem in uk Truro ker now!
It is typical America corrupt
