The highest court in the state just released the verdict.

New York appeals court overturns Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction from landmark #MeToo trial New York’s highest court delivered a stunning blow on Thursday by overturning Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction. The decision came as the state Court of Appeals determined that the judge in the trial had prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with improper rulings, including allowing testimony that was not relevant to the case.

The court’s decision paves the way for a new trial, potentially forcing Weinstein’s accusers to relive their traumas on the witness stand once again. Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction on charges of criminal sex act and rape in the third degree. These charges stemmed from incidents in 2006 and 2013, respectively. This is a breaking news story, more to follow soon… Check back shortly for further updates.
