Los Angeles County D.A.'s Office Harvey Weinstein's Conviction Solid ... No Overturning Expected

Harvey Weinstein's guilty verdict in New York was overturned, but there's no way that happens here on the West Coast ... according to the L.A. County D.A.'s Office, that is.

While many are questioning whether Weinstein's L.A. conviction will hold up now that a NY appeals court tossed his conviction, the prosecutors who handled the case here in Cali aren't worried one bit ... telling TMZ its case was consistent with state law.

A rep for the D.A.'s office says California law allows "propensity evidence" in sexual assault cases subject to a judge's discretion ... and, the office used evidence of Weinstein's sexual assaults in other jurisdictions to make its case -- totally legal, according to them.

Harvey Weinstein Festejos y lágrimas Tras la anulación de su condena por violación

Sin embargo, Juda dice que el magnate del cine que actualmente se encuentra en una prisión del norte del estado de Nueva York, solo está cautelosamente optimista por el fallo del tribunal y sabe que tiene un camino difícil por delante, sobre todo porque queda por ver si va a ser procesado nuevamente y cuándo.

City Girls JT, Miami Throw Shade During Eclipse ... End Of An Era???

City Girls haven't put out any music together in months and the current state of things isn't looking up ... 'cause Yung Miami and JT are currently going at each other's necks online!!!

The spat began on Monday during the solar eclipse when Miami reposted JT and accused her of throwing shade these past few weeks as her association with Diddy has come in the legal crosshairs.

YM even accused JT's recent songs "Sideways" and "No Bars" of containing sneaky lyrics aimed at her ... and she was done putting up with what she characterized as a fake friend.

Neither have pushed the City Girls name much since their October 2023 album "Raw Ass Whores" stalled out in just its first week with only 10k in sales.

Sources close to the group tell TMZ Hip Hop the rift is just "a family dispute" outside their professional careers -- fans are blaming it on the eclipse but things aren't looking good.

They're both calling each other by their government name and JT just labeled Miami "a sad f****** case" ... girl code broken.
