California Appeals Court Upholds Harvey Weinstein's Conviction, Orders Resentencing
A California appeals court upheld Harvey Weinstein's 2022 rape and sexual assault conviction but ordered his trial judge to resentence him. Weinstein was originally sentenced to 16 years for assaulting an Italian model during a film festival. His lawyers argued the trial was unfair due to limited testimony and jury bias. Weinstein remains incarcerated, also facing a separate assault conviction in New York, where prosecutors seek a 20-year sentence. His spokesperson expressed disappointment with the appeals decision but acknowledged the sentence must be revised.
