New York appeals court overturns Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction 

Breitbart:

New York’s highest court has overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction and ordered a new trial.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s highest court on Thursday overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with “egregious” improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case.

“We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes,” the court’s 4-3 decision said. “The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial.”

The state Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures — an era that began in 2017 with a flood of allegations against Weinstein. His accusers could again be forced to relive their traumas on the witness stand. more

  1. AP: “His accusers could again be forced to relive their traumas on the witness stand.”

    Trauma, my ass.

    The “trauma” they originally went through with Weinstein was part of their job search. An actor/actress without a role will do just about anything to get work. The S, the F, the whip, the chains, the restraints, the high heels stomp…whatever the rich mogul wants and thinks he needs.

    Brings to mind the old joke: She offered, he honored her offer, and all night long he was On Her and Off Her.

  2. In a story never told before, and it may or may not be true, 1950’s pointy chested actress Jean Creamer caught the attention of Harvey Weinstein when she was in her mid-50’s. He looked her over, liked her buxom figure, and invited her to his hotel room. She asked what he wanted her to do, and he replied that he wanted her to strip down to her panties, put on spiked high heel shoes, and tap out a Royal Scottish Tattoo (a dance/march) on his bare butt.

    She glanced at his huge rear and asked: Would you feel anything at all if I did hat? Harvey replied: Of course I would. It’s like acupuncture. Anything that jabs me in the ass, I immediately feel it in the back of my brain.

    So, Jean Creamer asked: You mean your ass is connected to your brain?
