Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer says it’s a ‘great day for America’ after his rape conviction overturned
Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers hailed it “a great day for America” after the disgraced Hollywood mogul’s rape conviction was overturned on Thursday.
Weinstein was found guilty in 2020 of raping and assaulting two women, and is serving his 23-year sentence at a prison in upstate New York.
On Thursday, the New York court of appeals made a 4-3 decision to overturn his conviction, stating that the original trial judge made “egregious errors” by allowing prosecutors to call witnesses whose allegations were not related to the charges at hand.
Weinstein’s attorney Arthur Aidala heralded the decision and said that his client had been “tried on his character, not the evidence,” during press conference outside Manhattan criminal court.
