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.

"'Inappropriate' is putting it lightly. Exposing this behavior to employees is definitely illegal." The suit alleges the inciden...
