Here’s why Harvey Weinstein’s New York rape conviction was tossed and what happens next
- The New York Court of Appeals determined that the trial judge in Weinstein's rape case was biased due to improper rulings, allowing uncharged allegations to be heard.
- The Court's majority criticized Judge James Burke's decision as an "abuse of judicial discretion" for permitting testimonies on alleged misconduct not directly related to the charges.
- Despite the decision, the Manhattan district attorney's office intends to pursue the case, potentially requiring accusers to recount their experiences in court.
