Judge at landmark trial prejudiced the former movie mogul with improper rulings, higher court found

’s 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that were not part of the case.

Weinstein was acquitted in Los Angeles on charges involving one of the women who testified in New York. The reversal of Weinstein’s conviction is the second big #MeToo setback in the last two years, after the US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of a Pennsylvania court decision to throw out Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction.
