Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is still serving 16 years in a separate California case, which is expecting an appeal that could use similar arguments to that of the overturned New York conviction.
New York's highest court overturned disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein 's 2020 conviction for sexual assault on Thursday.The court of appeals ruled four-to-three that alleged victims who weren't involved in the charges against Weinstein, now 72, should not have been allowed to testify. Ashley Judd was the first actor to come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against the former movie mogul.
'But it was controversial legally because the classic rule of criminal court of course is that the evidence should only pertain to the acts that are under scrutiny in court.'Kantor told 'CBS Mornings' that when Weinstein was convicted, it was important for the 'Me Too' movement because 'he was convicted with a chorus of women's voices.' However, that also became the center of his appeal, she said.Manhattan prosecutors said they plan to retry the case.
