Harvey Weinstein conviction overturned: How #MeToo cases find little success in courts
A New York court has overturned disgraced Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s sex crimes conviction. This is what it’s like to be a woman in America, living with male entitlement to our bodies,” said Hollywood actor Ashley Judd shortly after a New York court overturned the rape conviction against Harvey Weinstein. On Thursday, the MeToo movement suffered a massive jolt when the New York appeals court overturned the 2020 sex crime conviction against former Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein and ordered a new trial. The New York court overturned the Weinstein conviction in a 4-3 vote, stating that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes.
