Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein enjoyed a huge legal victory Thursday after New York’s highest court overturned his 2020 conviction of two felony sexual assaults.
The 71-year-old Weinstein was sentenced to 16 years and currently resides in a Rome, New York, prison.
The far-left New York Times reports that by a 4-3 vote, the New York Court of Appeals ruled that the trial judge should not have allowed “prosecutors to call as witnesses a series of women who said Mr. Weinstein had assaulted them — but whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.”
The appeals court identified additional errors and decided that Weinstein had not received a fair trial— which is true. This should’ve been a 7-0 decision to overturn.
