Harvey Weinstein's Rape Conviction Is Overturned
Quick Glance: Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 Rape Conviction Overturned
  • New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.

  • The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.

  • Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.

  • The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.

US seeks 36 months' jail for Binance founder Zhao
Quick Glance: DOJ Calls for Binance Founder to Spend Three Years in Prison
  • The U.S. Department of Justice stated that Binance's founder, Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, should spend three years in prison for enabling the crypto exchange to violate federal laws on money laundering and sanctions.

  • Zhao pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, with the DOJ recommending a 36-month prison sentence and a $50 million fine.

  • Emphasizing the need for a significant punishment, the DOJ highlighted Zhao's financial gains from illegal activities and the importance of deterring others from similar actions.

  • The court will decide between incarceration and probation for Zhao, with his defense arguing against his knowledge of specific transactions and advocating for probation due to a lack of risk of repeat offenses.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich
  • Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.

  • Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.

  • Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.

  • Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.
