Harvey Weinstein Conviction Overturned In NY By Appellate Court

It matters and it doesn't.   Yes, this is bad news for the victims in NY, but he's already been found guilty of similar crimes in California so he's going to stay in prison regardless I'm hoping.

This is what happens when you have judges here in NY's lower courts who play games and don't properly follow procedures.  They leave the doors open for reversal in appellate court.

New York must be a great place to live.  Letting scumbag rapists walk the streets.  If this guy didn't already have a conviction in California he might be a free man one day...

There's a new trial. It's not like Weinstein would be exonerated or pardoned.

 

Let's be real though: the internet is judge, jury, and executioner. Lots of stuff written isn't true. However, lots of stuff is true. It's not a fair trial, which is an IMPORTANT part of democracy. An unfair trial would be like Putin determining that the opposition leader was found guilty of treason :classic_rolleyes:

 

There's more than ample proof that Weinstein was a predator. Let THAT proof be enough to convict him. He won't survive the second trial.

He'll likely get convicted again at re-trial.  

 

I'm just always talking about how careless and half-assed the NY court system is in the Trump thread.  This is a prime example of that.  Weinstein is the posterboy of scum and they couldn't even get his trial correct.

Hopefully he dies before any chance of release.  
That fucking monster deserves to rot alone in a cell.  

 

He wasn't eligible for parole in NY for another 15 years before this.  I think he's actually serving time in California for his convictions there.  So it's basically a future release thing.  Will he be let out with only a decade or so left to live or will he die in prison.
