- 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.

Quick answer: Because he has money.
Correct answer: He’s a member of the chosen tribe.
Quick and wrong (more accurately disingenuous) answer
@@rodster811 Over the past year, a high number of powerful Jewish men have been accused of sexual misconduct. Activists say addressing the problem is vital.
He has good lawyers ... So the mob can't get him.
Meryl Streep addressed him as God. Michelle Obama called him a wonderful person and dear friend and mentor to her daughter
EPSTEIN WEINSTEEN PRINCE ANDREW ALL KNEW EACH OTHER????
The Epstein operation was a honey trap operation to entrap politicians, policy makers, millionaires billionaires, celebrities, people in the media eye to become ISRAELS assets.
Something nefarious with names ending in stein.
You don't say .
WHy do you have to show his face? EW
Based.
I agree - ewwww!
Yikes ... horrible person ... may he always stay in prison.
$ is power. $ is a person with all rights. It is a sick world.
Not always. Fame and money make you a target.
Lazy prosecutors should have presented a solid case. They had to have know this could have been overturned. Hopefully there are enough good cases to keep him locked away.
Imagine the cruel irony when they say that you wanted it like all the other women, you show that's not true, and that's what overturns his conviction of rape.
Notice his lawyers aren't arguing that he's innocent
Okay and?
No sympathy for him whatsoever! None!
He had women throwing themselves at him for parts.
That heavy inhale in the first second scared me 😅
2:02 "In the greatest state, in the greatest country..." Sheesh, New Yorkers are a breed of their own.
Can you imagine what these women are going through having heard this??
Moaning I imagine.
I bet they are seething!
I guess the high life of Tinsletown wasnt for them!
They spent years lying for nothing 🤣
Indeed, but he’s still locked up and will never be released.
@@helenpauls1496 its a shame, he was a great producer and is able to offer opportunities to performers from less represented groups.
Oh, I know - it's because he's Ashkenazim
Pure misandry from Ashley Judd
Lawyers: " You've got the crime, I've got the brains. Let's make lots of money."
The 1% win again.... and the lawyers shall inherit the earth.
Why are these old actors back in the news. Today was a very bad day. I am actually trembling.
Keep trembling
Calm down, as vile as he is. The world doesn't revolve around you, you'll be fine.
What’s up love?
At least he won't be getting out.
so one of the accusor was in a relationship with him and sent him multiple love letters ... she said she did it for her career but how is she a victim ?
Rape is a crime
@@reallysomebody prostitution too ...
@@romeorodrigues3680 not for the man who hires the prostitute
@@romeorodrigues3680 Being a John is too
Because she decided she could further her career any more by having paid for sex with him and decided she would call it abuse of power etc.
Just goes to show, money can buy a lot of justice. This guy is a slime ball but he has a LOT of money.
Yes. And you be surprised at how many of his movies he produced people still watch. They don't even notice the Weinstein Company in the titles.
This is the most common bs argument related to this case. If he was able to buy the jury or the judge, then why was he convicted of rape at the first court? And if his money can buy him the freedom, then why is he still in prison?
So Ashley Judd is a misandrist? Cool.
Well with the way she looks now she probably can't get a man so it's the natural progression for most women to then become man haters.
No
It would appear so. Always thought she had man hater written all over her.
Because he has a lot of money.
Re-try the case, and add on 75 other counts ... open and shut case
Many Western women have no idea how good they have it
Was this the casting couch on full view ??
So the #MeToo movement failed
Should have been called #Hatemen movement
There is justice, but not in the court. You can, however, easily find it in the dictionary, under the letter "J".
JUSTICE IS DONE
Why? Because the law has been written by men like him for over 200 years.
No wonder people resort to extrajudicial means. If this case will make Harvey look innocent, some people might use vigilante justice. I thought that justice is so screwed up in third world countries, little did I know that this is also happening in The States.
Thoroughly sickning!
Wow "propensity" can be a thing. Well if this the case for Harvey Weinstein, then the audio recording of Jonathan Majors from Sept 2022 has nothing to do with his Jabbari case. The New York justice system. It is what it is.
He is part of the tribe - If you take a Karen, and then tell her she is the Karen to rule all other Karens, then you have somewhat of an idea of the superiority complex they have.
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.
We have to allow for other women to testify if it's a rebuttle to the defense that it was what all the women wanted.
Money talks. Never underestimate the effectiveness of a straight cash bribe. 💰💵💸
They were giving it to him on theirs own will.
They know how to trade theirs instrument.
Hopefully he’ll end up getting even more yrs in prison when he’s retried!!
LOL! Money is above the law!
SMH😢😢
Based judge.
Rapist with money and power don't do time. fake justice everywhere
Judges also go to hell.
Nice to have money and power
Trial by media is never a good idea. His case was overturned because his conviction was unsafe. Its not particularly difficult concept to grasp.
This is great news for Trump and the E. Jean Carrol shakedown
why? bbc will make his autobiographical movie and get academy awards
The greatest state in the greatest country? Oh yeh.
One of the Orcs in Return of the king is actually based on Harvey Weinstein.
That's not fair that's lawiers represent every one got money
If they can find trump guilty they 100% can find weinstein guilty 😂😂😂 shows his money has influence in that city 😂😂😂
Thats disgusting that his conviction being overturned, now well see if American Justice Systems can actually condemn cri.inals or if its all a sham and women need to find ways to defend themselves.
You're negating that he was also convicted of raping another Woman and that conviction was not vacated, he's still in prison for that conviction... the only reason he's getting another trial on this one is because he supposedly had an inept defense attorney for this 1 case.
Or maybe they were just lying? 🤷♂️
@@Bungle-UK How can you be so sure that they are lying? 70 ladies claimed that they were raped by this monster and yet you accuse them of lying? I hope that some judge will lock him up for life.
@@Bungle-UK Because of that attitude, that "OH she's lying, it didn't happen. OR the Worse one of look at her she's asking for it... "
RAPE ISNT REPORTED AS OFTEN AS IT SHOULD BE, DUE TO VICTIM SHAMING... Further Rape isn't an act of lust and desire uncontrolled, It's an Act of Hate And Violence against the Victim... And I say Victim not just Qomen, but Men can also and have been raped as well.... your attitude is worse , because you have assumed im.ediately that the woman was lying.... So what was tge guy doing... Singing love songs .. Try again!
@@marianlincoln9008 And you’ve assumed his guilt.
@@Bungle-UKDid you watch the video? It's being overturned because it's not fair that 75 other women also accused him of rape.
Very good, Harvey! Now you can go back to your luxurious Mohawk condominium in Rome, NY.
Pathetic....give me a break...
I note the name of the victim wasn't mentioned
Not entertaining enough for you so you want to watch people suffer?
@@leagarner3675 I agree with that editorial decision , did eg: Fox do the same?
Stein
Thats why
Maybe AI can do it better
Selling kat is all!!
Why do people read or listen to all of this absolute SHYTE ?
Why should the average man care about this ?
How should I it affect the average man ?
The same way Saville did ?
Should you talk about it like old women do at the bingo ?
Please enlighten me somebody , please !! Because I don’t know why this is relevant ❤
Why do men get away with rape?
Wtf

Absolutely bullshit. Hope he drops the soap in prison
😂😂😂 GO HARVEY! GO HARVEY!
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.

This really shows how much power APAC really has.
Those b….. signed up dor millions of dollars, what did they think??? They will just come with open arms and accept them?? F this bs they as guilty as he is
This monster should have been jailed for eternity. The lawyer is just drained his pocket. The POS will be convicted again and again.
The BBC Propaganda Yentah running cover for Mr Weinstein....😂
Because Society is out of control and his SIN, has been forgiven by the beast
ponder that one
Scripture says
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Psalms 32:1
Harvey, isn't covered by God, he is ruled by Satan
The BBC and leftie Hollywood are devastated 🤣🤣
Yeah, right? They're so triggered a rapist escaped justice. Suck it up snowflakes!
He kisses the current kings ring.
