Harvey Weinstein’s Lawyer Celebrates Overturned Conviction: ‘We Knew’ He Didn’t Get a ‘Fair Trial’
Harvey Weinstein's lawyers celebrated his rape conviction being overturned.
The New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction in a 4-3 decision, ruling that the trial had prejudice toward him by allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. He will remain there while he serves his 16-year sentence for a rape conviction in Los Angeles, but in that trial he was acquitted on charges that involved a woman who testified in the New York case. At an oral argument in February, Aidala claimed that Justice James Burke had been prejudiced against Weinstein by allowing three women to testify about his character and pattern of behavior.
