- New York's highest court on Thursday overturned the 2020 conviction of disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein on sex crimes charges. The Court of Appeals ruled that the trial judge erred in admitting testimony from women who were not named in the accusations against Weinstein and ordered a new trial.
However, the ruling doesn't affect a separate 16-year rape conviction handed down in California in 2022, meaning the once untouchable Hollywood heavyweight will remain behind bars.
Bombshell allegations against the Oscar-winning producer emerged in 2017, sparking the #MeToo movement, which paved the way for women to fight back against sexual violence in the workplace.

Well let's examine who are the judges "serving" on a Supreme Court in New York ?
All crazy liberals 😂
"All please rise for the honorable judge Moe Lester"
they are extreme far left - neo marxists.
the elites look after their own, simple as that
Hearsay and guilt by accusation cannot be used to convict in a criminal trial. This is fundamental law. Don't get me wrong HW is a creep and probably guilty but the judge screwed up.
The money has to go through many secure channels before it reaches the judges. It takes time. Almost EVERY conviction can be overturned on a technicality of some kind. The vast majority of us have neither the money nor the connections to fix the results.
WHAT A SICK AND WEAK SYSTEM WE ACCEPT TO LIVE IN,,,
really? you blame the system?
Maybe because he is powerful he should have immunity from any crimes. Lets ask Trump what he thinks.
So many folk influenced by the media, one hopes they never get to serve on a jury.
😂😂😂😂The Elites creating another distraction 😂
Because those has been women had no actually evidence. Just a sob story
What are we to believe now?
they made some bucks and now they have moved on with the hunt.
Next he could sue for damages 😮
No, he will be convicted again. The court can’t allow judges misconduct this is not the Soviet Union or a kangaroo court
What a travesty. Women’s rights have taken a turn against us…again…just found any loophole they could to overturn his sentence.
He still stays in jail. Do some research
It is just in one case.. he is still in jail and being punished for many other cases. Also we donot know the merit of this particular case.
@@HUMShaBaK his other trial keeps in jail for 16 year's even if this one folds.
Im sure he was told "just take the verdict now to hush the public, we'll overturn it after when things die down"
Exactly
Convict him again...😂
I am sure the New York AG will retry the case.
The other witness weren’t relevant to the case. They weren’t in the charges that were filed
your experience means nothing if there is no solid evidence
That's BS. I hope more women come forward
So why are the courts now just bringing this up?
Wonder if he was connected with Jeffrey?
He wasn't on the flight list. His name was the first name I looked for. I'm sure they knew of each other's perversions. Remember, Epstein's outfit was ultimately about blackmail. There's really nothing to blackmail Weinstein about if _everyone_ in the industry knows he's a creep.
Yes he was.
"WE provide free legal assistance to people who can't afford it" Ummmm, lady, not sure what state you live in... but even the bottom of the barrel public attorneys still refuse to represent you if you don't pay...
It's called pro Bono... You don't pay, but they still rip you off...
The judges are doing thier work. He will be convicted but according to the law. It’s not about how it looks, or feels, is a technical result. It’s sad and hard for the victims because they have to testify and be cross examined again, but that is the fault of the initial judge that allowed crao just to look supportive and partial to the women.
Sends a strong message to victims and those without the means. You don’t matter.
no proof no crime, your feelings don't matter, what you heard and thought doesn't matter ...
What do ya know. Mohamed here doesn't care about the well being of women. Who would of thought? 😂😂😂
I'm horrified.
That whole trial was seriously flawed from the get-go!
SHE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT,,,,
The casting couch never goes out of style. Long live the casting couch!
What is the definition of a fair trail? Does everyone who is rich and looses gets a new trail? Or was the assumption of innocence until proven guilty? Maybe it is time to a real reform of our justice system. Still no evidence of what constitutes an unfair trail?
The prosecution was illegal and he should be paid restitution...
This is called corruption...
Because the check finally cleared.
$$$$$$$$ talks in America,not people.....
I think what the court was looking at in reality is if NY would have had the victims from his California case testify in the NY case, that would have been ok. I do not think this is against women like people are trying to make it out to be. What the ruling says is. Unless the person testifying either has a case ruled in court and won they cannot testify against the defense. This has a wide range of implications. It stops prosecutors from going out and picking random people to testify against a defendant.
There is justice - but not in the court, only in the dictionary, under the letter "J".
Diddy needs his cell. He kindly volunteered to donate his accommodation.
Called Corruption...
We can love money which is fine, but of course it's the root of all evil.
Even human planters warts like this fungus should get a legal trial. Hope he ends up penniless
If he had a choice between freedom in Gaza or Prison in USA, where would he prefer?
In Gaza what he did wouldn't be considered a crime...
In Sharia, there needs to be 5 witnesses...
Weinstein, Epstein... they could implicate a lot of other people
Take a lot of pictures of your current life, we are about to loose our democracy. I think that within the next decade we will be on an autocracy and then on a dictatorship.
such a waste of taxpayer money keeping this goblin fed.
Because it was the plan .
Oink oink
💔💔💔🎗️
Anyone surprised? I'm not.
O'Hughee wouldn't say all female's r lyer's. What i will type is all female go through mennapause. Red Kangaroo paws do tend too popular Arround that time 4 female's
what a sick justice system to destroy a man because of eye witness, or some people waking up YEARS after the "deed". If there was something real those women should have complained immediately after the deed. Instead, they took the money, the jobs and accepted the situation . years later they got a better social position, security and change their mind. Tell me how one differentiate the real case and this situation? You cant, the only conclusive argument would be if the women don't complain immediately. Sorry for real cases of abuse, dear women.
So according to you all cases of sex trafficking where victims don't realize how they are being manipulated and give into prostitution are invalid because they don't complain right away? Are you some Andrew taint fan or something?
Because movies suck now

More legitimate rulings in New York.
They took the movies, the money & the fame in exchange of sex & then turn around & cry rape. They signed the deal instead of walking away from it & after getting all the benefits they cry me too pretending to be gullible, vulnerable victims. That’s the me too movement in a nutshell.
Okay I'm sorry but "Sexual abuse survivor"? Isn't that a little over-dramatic? I'm not trying to downplay the horror of sexual abuse here, but its hardly lethal... If it was robbers wouldn't need guns, they'd just pull their pants down at the bank.
Exactly my point
