California Appeals Court Keeps Weinstein Conviction, Orders Sentence Review
TL;DR
An appeals panel in California upheld Harvey Weinstein’s Los Angeles rape conviction, ruling that the trial court did not err under the rape shield law or in its evidentiary rulings, and ordered resentencing. The new sentence could be lower overall if the judge applies the middle six-year term for the relevant offense, in light of the status of Weinstein’s New York conviction.
