New York's highest court overturned the 2020 rape conviction of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

FILE - Harvey Weinstein arrives at a Manhattan courthouse for jury deliberations in his rape trial, Monday, Feb. 24, 2020, in New York. New York's highest court has overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction and ordered a new trial.

“Without question, this is appalling, shameful, repulsive conduct that could only diminish defendant’s character before the jury," they said. He said Weinstein wanted to testify but opted not to because he would have had to answer questions about more than two-dozen alleged acts of misbehavior dating back four decades, including fighting with his movie producer brother, flipping over a table in anger, snapping at waiters and yelling at his assistants.Weinstein has been serving time in New York, most recently at the Mohawk Correctional Facility, about 100 miles northwest of Albany.
