Weinstein to remain in prison after NYC conviction overturned [Video]

In 2022, Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 16 years in prison in Los Angeles for rape. Overturning a 2020 New York conviction doesn’t change that sentence.

On April 25, the New York Court of Appeals overturned film producer Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape and sexual assault conviction, determining the trial judge improperly allowed women to testify about allegations against the ex-movie mogul that weren’t part of the case. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison in that case.

Weinstein has been incarcerated at the Mohawk Correctional Facility in New York since March 2020.

People on social media quickly reacted to the news of his conviction being overturned. Some claim Weinstein has been, or could be, released from prison because the conviction was overturned.
