Harvey Weinstein's NY judge shouldn't have allowed 'prejudicial' testimony from women who said they, too, had been abused: appeals court

• New York's top court overturned the 2020 sex crimes conviction against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
• The court said the trial made an error by allowing accusers who weren't a part of the complaint to testify.
• The Manhattan district attorney's office indicated it wants to retry the case.

Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes conviction was overturned Thursday by the New York Court of Appeals, which found that he hadn't gotten a fair trial.

In its 4-3 decision, the appeals court found Weinstein's trial judge had erred in allowing accusers who were not listed as a part of the criminal charges against him to testify about their own experiences.
