New York’s highest court on Thursday 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 weren’t part of the case.
The ruling is the second major #MeToo setback in the last two years and reopens a painful chapter in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures.
