Harvey Weinstein verdict sadly overturned in New York

Another example of how the most far-left Hollywood members are being let off the hook as compared to conservatives, as the disgraced movie mogul Weinstein had his sentence in New York overturned:
Oscar winner Mira Sorvino and other Hollywood stars reacted to a decision by the New York Court of Appeals to overturn Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape verdict.

In a post on X on Thursday, Sorvino wrote that she was “horrified” by the court’s decision to overturn the 2020 rape conviction of Weinstein due to the court’s failure to give the disgraced movie mogul a fair trial by allowing allegations from accusers not connected to the charges against him to testify.

“Day after #DenimDay honoring sexual violence survivors, Harvey Weinstein’s conviction overturned, due partly to ‘Molineux witnesses’ testifying to prior bad acts, like lioness Annabella Sciorra,” Sorvino’s post read, referring to a term meaning “witnesses in a trial who are allowed to testify about criminal acts that the defendant has not been charged with committing,” The New York Times noted.
To be sure, nobody's going to be questioning whether the left's conduct contributed in any way to this ruling, which is just as unfortunate as the time Bill Cosby's verdict was overturned. Sure, Weinstein's career is over regardless, but this is very regrettable all the same, because if the courts could take a lenient approach to Cosby's sentence, it could end up being the same for Weinstein, who, if it matters, produced atrocious propaganda in the past that was hurtful to Israel and lenient on Islam.

John Nolte says the way the trial was first handled a number of years ago was poor, and maybe it was, although I assumed the approach used was part of the concept of witness testimony. In any event, of course this is a very sad day when somebody who's apparently a self-hating Jew would be let off the hook. There may be a new trial, but it makes very little difference; what's been done so far only represents another travesty of justice for victims of sexual assault in Hollywood.
