  • Harvey Weinstein's 2020 sex crimes conviction in New York was thrown out. The highest court in New York ruled that the trial judge made a mistake in allowing testimony that included "uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts." It's not expected Weinstein will be set free immediately from the prison in Rome, New York, where he is incarcerated. He was sentenced to 16 years in California for a separate rape conviction. However, that case is also being appealed on the same grounds as New York.

      He's most likely guilty but he didn't get a fair trial when you have testimony from other witnesses that never accused him of any sexual assault. That's the fault of the prosecution. That's why NYC have district attorneys that work not for justice but for fame, money, and recognition.
