In a 4-3 ruling, the New York Court of Appeals has overturned former Hollywood producer and studio executive Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction for rape. The court found there was grounds to overturn Weinstein’s conviction on the grounds that the judge in his case had prejudiced the jury in allowing women to testify against him who alleged assaults by Weinstein that he was not on trial for at the time. The case will now be retried in New York. Judge Jenny Rivera wrote of the court’s decision “We reaffirm that no person accused of illegality may be judged on proof of uncharged crimes that serve...

Die MeToo-Bewegung hatte das harte Urteil für Harvey Weinstein wegen Sexualverbrechen im März 2020 mit Jubel und Erleichterung aufgenommen. Der frühere Filmmogul war von einem New Yorker Richter wegen Vergewaltigung und sexueller Nötigung zu 23 Jahren Haft verurteilt worden. «Ich glaub', ich werd' verrückt», kommentierte die Gründerin der Bewegung, Tarana Burke (heute 50), damals die hohe Strafe. Auch am Donnerstag meldete sich die Aktivistin zu Wort, nachdem ein Berufungsgericht in New York die historische Verurteilung des ehemaligen Filmmoguls überraschend aufgehoben hatte. Sie sei tief best...

In a significant development, New York's highest court has overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction. The decision, decided by a 4-3 vote, was anchored on the premise that the presiding judge in the watershed #MeToo trial had unfairly prejudiced the disgraced former movie mogul with what the court described as “egregious” improper rulings. Among these, the court highlighted a crucial decision allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. “We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against person...

Völlig überraschend hat ein Gericht in New York die historische Verurteilung des ehemaligen Filmmoguls Harvey Weinstein wegen Sexualverbrechen aus dem Jahr 2020 aufgehoben. Die Juristen am Berufungsgericht der US-Ostküstenmetropole widerriefen damit einen der aufsehenerregendsten Rechtssprüche der vergangenen Jahre. Der Fall hatte damals die MeToo-Bewegung maßgeblich mit ausgelöst. Weinstein bleibt aber wegen einer weiteren Verurteilung in Haft. Grund für die Aufhebung ist laut den Richtern ein Verfahrensfehler: Die Anklage stützte sich damals im Prozess auch auf Zeugenaussagen, die nicht Teil...

Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned. The New York Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday (25.04.24) with a majority 4-3 vote that the disgraced movie mogul did not receive a fair trial after they found prosecutors were allowed to call witnesses whose accusations were not the focus of the case. As a result, the ruling declared Weinstein - who will remain in prison for a separate 2022 rape conviction - had been tried on his past behaviour, not solely the crimes he had been charged with. They stated Justice James Burke, the judge in charge of the 2020 trial “erroneously admitt...
