The 72-year-old is facing a retrial, likely in September, after a court finding that 'prior bad acts' testimony violated his right to a fair trial.
Harvey Weinstein will be retried in New York after his 2020 rape conviction was thrown out.On Wednesday, local time, Weinstein appeared in court before Judge Curtis Farber, more than four years after his conviction, where the Manhattan District Attorney's office said he will be retried.
He then was transferred to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan following last week's order, according to his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer. "We're very confident that if he goes to trial, the only words we'll hear at the end of trial are 'not guilty,'" he added.Weinstein's successful appeal is a blow to the #MeToo movement against powerful men who prey on vulnerable women. And a New York judge warns it's set a precedent that will help serial sexual predators.
