Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction in New York has been overturned, on the basis that he did not receive a fair trial.
The New York Court of Appeals said prosecutors in the pivotal #MeToo case called witnesses whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.
The court said that meant he was unfairly tried for past behaviour, and ordered a new trial.
Weinstein, 72, will remain in prison for a separate conviction for rape. He
denies the allegations from Ashley Judd.

Actually, the judge who overturned the ruling was following the law. Eye witness testimony is largely unreliable because it's not evidence - so it shouldn't be presented as such. Let alone cases not related to the trial itself.

@randallflagg3700 13 күн бұрын

All judges have certain biases, they're human after all. They're supposed to disqualify themselves in a case where he or she is biased and to hear all cases where he or she is not biased. But obviously it doesn't happen often, and it's very hard to prove actual bias. Basically a judge must be shown to be *so* committed to a particular outcome that evidence and arguments presented will _never_ alter that outcome. It's very delicate to actually prove... Everyone in jail/prison knows which judges are fair and which one are hardcore headcases, but "everyone knows" isn't proof... Precedent rulings aren't proof either, nor is a general predisposition. It's tough.

In a 2003 H0ward Stern interview, Tarantino defended the director R0man P0lanski against charges that Polanski had r4p3d then-13-year-old Samantha Geimer in 1977. Tarantino said his then-girlfriend Mira Sorvino told him in the mid-1990s about her experience with Weinstein. On February 3, 2018, in an interview with The New York Times, Kill Bill actress Uma Thurman said Weinstein had s3xu4lly ass4ulted her, and that she had reported this to Tarantino. Tarantino said he confronted Weinstein. He banned him from contact with Thurman for the remainder of the film's production.
