Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction overturned by top New York court
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.
