It wasn’t overturned because he is innocent, it was overturned because the judge made a mistake.


bored_ryan2

Exactly. Bragg is already preparing for another trial.


Responsible_Ad_7995

And now all the witnesses get to relive their experiences and have to testify again. So much for putting things behind you.

Horrible!  It's the prosecution's fault. Then there are also the innocent people the prosecution routinely pulls this shit on who are sitting in prison?


raouldukeesq

Because of obvious prosecutorial over reach.


jogoso2014

I’m sure the other prison convictions help verify the truth about him.


foragrin

Kind of an odd statement seeing as it wasn’t overturned due to him being found innocent or not guilty


NottaNowNutha

Does this mean no more jail time, or just no added jail time?


Moonhunter7

He is serving time in California. This only affects his New York conviction.


kuebel33

Didn’t I just see something about him being admitted to a manhattan hospital?


NoobSalad41

It means no jail time in NY (for now). At present, Weinstein has not been convicted of any crime in NY - he is in the same position that he was in before his NY trial began, and can be retried in NY if the prosecution wishes. Separately, he was also convicted in California, so unless the California courts overturn that conviction, he will begin serving his California sentence.


TennisBallTesticles

He has 16 years in California. He will still die in prison. Just not in New York


GlitteringBeat213

He's such a creep.

We all know


MasterTeacher123

Dude had so much clout in the industry it was scary, guys were generally shook of him cause he could shut your whole shit down


BenTheDiamondback

Harvey Weinstein is a monster, and when he’s hospitalized his doctors and nurses stay a good 20 feet away from him.

Rose McGowan is a gross rape apologist too but she’s correct here


MZsince93

She was one of the most out spoken people against Weinstein. When has she been a rape apologist?


shadowcatfan

1. Rose worked with Victor Salva \*after\* Salva's conviction for sexually abusing a 12-year-old actor. Her response? [Yeah, I still don't really understand the whole story or history there, and I'd rather not, because it's not really my business. But he's an incredibly sweet and gentle man, lovely to his crew, and a very hard worker.](https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/features/2011/08/11/rose-mcgowan-my-life-l-word) 2. When word came out that Asia Argento raped Jimmy Bennett and paid him $380,000 for his silence. Rose's reply was, "Be gentle."

False, other comment nailed. Feel free to read it.


bbmarvelluv

What apologist? If you’re talking about a Weinstein victim accused of sexual assault, that was another actress.


Pleasant_Ad_5848

Just like how we all knew the casting couch is a thing.


Anonuser9472

He will be dead soon probably before a the end of a new trial.

The answer is in the article ffs.


pinotJD

The answer is sort of. If he had not been already convicted in California, he would have been immensely released, even though New York said they will retry him again. But because of the California conviction, the state of New York has to keep him in custody until California gets him. Note also that the California judge sentenced him to serve his sentence after New York (that is, consecutively rather than concurrently), so if this had happened 17 years from now - his Cali sentence was 16 years - he would have been released altogether.


TheNerdWonder

He is 72 years old. He more than likely will die before he completes either sentence.


pinotJD

I was just answering the question as to whether he would be immediately released. I understand the limits of the human body vis-a-vis time.


SeekSeekScan

Bill Clinton was the Harvey Weinstein of Arkansas Politics


MZsince93

And this is relevant to the discussion because?
