It found the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with improper rulings

New York's highest court has overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with improper rulings. These included a decision to let women testify about allegations that were not part of the case.

He will remain imprisoned because he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape and sentenced to 16 years in prison. His lawyers argued Judge James Burke's rulings in favour of the prosecution turned the trial into "1-800-GET-HARVEY".
