WEINSTEIN IN RETRIAL OVER RAPE CHARGE

Judge 'unfair but mogul stays in jail

- CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

A COURT has overturned Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction and said the disgraced Hollywood mogul must face a new trial.

It ruled that the judge in the 2020 proceedings, which led to a 23-year jail sentence, had prejudiced the jury with improper rulings.

These included letting women testify about allegations not part of the case.

Despite yesterday's shock decision, Weinstein will stay in jail because in 2023 he was sentenced to 16 years for raping a Los Angeles model.
