Abstract
- Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault conviction in New York has been overturned by the state's highest court due to fundamental errors made by the trial judge. The court ordered a new trial, stating that the judge wrongly allowed four women who were not part of the charges against Weinstein to testify as prosecution witnesses. This decision marks a significant reversal in the high-profile #MeToo era conviction, but it is unclear if Weinstein will be released as he is currently serving a 23-year sentence in New York and a 16-year sentence in California. Weinstein's lawyer plans to request his release on bail pending a new trial. [Extracted from the article]
