Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Conviction , Is Overturned.
New York's Court of Appeals
overturned the movie mogul's 2020 rape conviction by a vote of 4-3 on April 25.
According to the appeals court, trial judge James Burke "prejudiced Weinstein with 'egregious' improper rulings," AP reports. .
For example, he let women bring forth allegations against Weinstein that he wasn't charged with.
The action was an "abuse of judicial discretion," the appeals court said. .
Without question, this is appalling,
shameful, repulsive conduct that
could only diminish defendant’s
character before the jury, New York's Court of Appeals, via AP.
Although this conviction has been overturned, the 72-year-old will remain in prison due to a separate 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles.
His lawyers have chosen to
appeal that conviction as well. .
Jennifer Bonjean, who helped free Bill Cosby from
prison, issued a statement about the development.

A jury was told in California that
he was convicted in another
state for rape ... turns out he
shouldn’t have been convicted
and it wasn’t a fair conviction… , Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP.
It interfered with his
presumption of innocence in
a significant way in California, Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP.
On April 25, prosecutors said that "the legal issues identified by the New York Court of Appeal are
not present in the Los Angeles County Case.".
The Manhattan district attorney's office
said they will "do everything in our power to
retry this case, and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault."

(FAA) is investigating yet another Boeing mishap,
this time involving an American Airlines flight.
On March 13, a Boeing 777 landed after it "blew
a tire during take off" from Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, according to the FAA.
American Airlines, the flight's operator, said that no
tire was blown, adding that the pilot was aware that
the pressure was low in one of the aircraft's tires.
The aircraft taxied to the gate
under its own power and
customers deplaned normally, American Airlines statement, via NBC.
LAX confirmed that the flight
landed safely without incident.
The news comes after another incident
involving a Boeing aircraft just last week.

Airlines Boeing 777-200 shortly after
takeoff, prompting an emergency landing.
At the time, United said that the Boeing 777-200
is “designed to land safely with missing or
damaged tires" as it has “six tires on each
of its two main landing gear struts.”.
NBC reports that these incidents follow a major
January 5 mishap involving a door panel blowing off
of a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane operated by Alaska Airlines. .
In response to that incident, the FAA grounded all
Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft in the U.S and ordered
increased oversight of Boeing aircraft production.
