- Watch as Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer, Arthur Aidala, spoke after his client’s conviction was overturned by the New York Supreme Court.
Weinstein’s 2020 conviction for sexual assault and rape was overturned on Thursday 25 April, reopening the landmark case that fueled the #MeToo movement.
In a bitterly divided 4-3 decision, the state Court of Appeals said the trial judge made a critical mistake by letting women testify that Weinstein assaulted them, even though their accusations were not part of the charges he faced.
“The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial,” Judge Jenny Rivera wrote for the majority.
Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a prison in upstate Rome, New York.
He is not expected to be freed immediately, as he also faces a separate 16-year prison term in California after being convicted there last year for the 2013 rape of an actress at a Los Angeles hotel.

His attorney telling us how innocent he thinks he is has some serious “my mom says I’m handsome” vibes.
Pure corruption and lies from every direction...
When God asked Satan, "Where have you been?" Satan replied, "Roaming the Earth too and fro!
Jesus would set her free, just like he did the woman caught in adultery. " he without sin cast the first stone." In other words, don't try to overkill or set up a guilty person!!!
Amen that's why all this is happening and Jesus is returning soon Hallelujah
Let’s see what these lawyers would do if it was THEIR daughter
Jesus would set her free, just like he did the woman caught in adultery. " he without sin cast the first stone." In other words don't try to Overkill or set up a guilty person
He’s out on a technicality. Not enough of a lawyer to judge the appropriateness of that ruling.
But he’s not innocent. He’s not getting his career back. He’s not getting those years spent in prison back, and he’ll probably be retried.
He's not getting out of prison either. He was also convicted in a Los Angeles trial and sentenced to 16 years.
DISGUSTING!!! I WONDER HOW MUCH HE PROMISED THE JUDGE?
🗣The world is a stage 🙄
Sickness...
Innocent? He said, she said... disgusting!
His lawyer acts like HW has been exonerated.
The Independent, I liked this video because it's awesome!
If you are a corrupt democrat, you get a pass. Same court in NY, Trump getting gag order while this Hollywood guy got a pass
Super facts ✨️😤
Why is this monster still alive
Dumb lawyers
Go HARVEY!
