Harvey Weinstein will face a retrial in New York after his 2020 rape conviction was overturned by an appeals court last month.
Weinstein appeared in Manhattan court Wednesday, May 1, seated in a wheelchair. It marked the first time the disgraced movie mogul had been seen in public since he was found guilty of rape in Los Angeles and sentenced to 16 years in prison last February.
In the 77-page decision, the New York Court of Appeals — by a count of 4-to-3 — ruled to overturn the conviction, stating that the judge who oversaw Weinstein’s New York trial, Justice James M. Burke, should not have allowed prosecutors to let accusers whose allegations were not part of the charges against him to testify in the trial.
