New York's Highest Court Overturns Harvey Weinstein's Conviction for Felony Sex Crime

Published: 25 April 2024 at 14:27

The highest court in New York state has overturned former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's 2020 felony sex crime conviction, citing a lack of a fair trial due to the admission of testimony from women whose allegations were not part of the case. Weinstein has been serving a 23-year sentence in New York based on that conviction. The Manhattan district attorney's office plans to retry the case, and the responsibility now falls on DA Alvin Bragg Jr. who is also involved in another high-profile case involving former president Donald Trump.
