Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction overturned by New York appeals court

Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction was overturned Thursday in New York, making way for a new trial.

The state Court of Appeals found that the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the former film mogul with improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case.

“We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes because that testimony served no material non-propensity purpose,” the court said in a 4-3 decision. 

“The court compounded that error when it ruled that defendant, who had no criminal history, could be cross examined about those allegations as well as numerous allegations of misconduct that portrayed defendant in a highly prejudicial light,” it said.

it would serve us all to actually listen to and follow IRL liberation movements than to critique society thru a lense when u can use ur own eyes to see the world around u

The Purge series is just a reflection of the times but the sad thing is is that movies/shows like that are just meant to scare us into submission and embolden the extremists 🫤 as entertaining as it is, its just a vehicle for copaganda
