New York Court of Appeals Overturns Harvey Weinstein Conviction, Orders New Trial
Albany, NY – April 25, 2024
The New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the State of New York, overturned Harvey Weinstein ’s 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with “egregious” improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that were not charged or otherwise part of the case.

But I’ve also been around long enough to know that I don’t know everything. There are some things we know we don’t know, and there are some things we don’t know that we don’t know.
