Harvey Weinstein NY Rape Conviction Overturned ... Got Unfair Shake at Trial
Harvey Weinstein's New York rape conviction just got overturned in the appeals court -- and a new trial has been ordered ... although it remains to be seen if he'll be prosecuted again.
The 4-3 ruling came down Thursday ... with the majority of judges agreeing that the disgraced movie producer's constitutional rights were violated back in 2020 when this case was first going down. According to them, prosecutors allowed other women to testify who weren't pertinent to the charges he was facing.
They ultimately decided that he ended up getting put on trial over other instances of alleged past behavior ... as opposed to the specific crimes he'd been charged with, and as a result -- the New York Court of Appeals says Weinstein deserves a completely new jury to weigh in.
