Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction overturned by New York appeals court

[Lexy]

The New York State Court of Appeals overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction. The court's 4-3 decision on Thursday ruled that the judge in the high-stakes trial prejudiced the jury by allowing women to testify that the Oscar-winning producer had sexually assaulted them; however, their accusations were not part of prosecutors' charges against him.

"We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes," the decision read, in part. "The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial."

Epsteins case would have been overturned too.
