Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Conviction Is Overturned

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.

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."

'I will Arrest Him...': Trump Targets NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Over Anti-Israel Stance

During a fiery press conference in Florida, President Donald Trump threatened to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, labeling him as "anti-Israel" and claiming he may be in the U.S. illegally. The dramatic statement came just hours after Mamdani’s primary win was certified. Trump threw his support behind current Mayor Eric Adams, stating he had "helped him out a little bit" in the past. The president also criticized Mamdani’s plan to oppose ICE operations in NYC, warning, “If that happens, we’ll have to arrest him.” This escalating clash between the White House and a local progressive politician could have national consequences. #Trump #ZohranMamdani #EricAdams #NYCMayoralRace #ICE #AntiIsrael #TrumpSpeech #ImmigrationPolitics #BreakingNews #USPolitics #PresidentialThreat #NYCNews ~HT.318~PR.274~HT.318~

Planned Parenthood DEFUNDED? Pro-Life Uprising ROCKS U.S. | Senate CRUSHES Abortion Funding Move

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans. #PlannedParenthood #Medicaid #Protests #SenateVote #DefundPP #HealthcareCrisis #WomensHealth #ReproductiveRights #LilaRose #PattyMurray #VoteARama #MedicaidCuts #SCOTUS #AbortionDebate #HealthcareAccess #AmericaProtests #PPFunding #CongressWatch #USPolitics #BreakingNews #HealthEquity #ClinicClosures #ProLife #ProChoice #PolicyBattle #SenateShowdown #WomensRights ~ED.194~HT.408~

VIDEO: Texas Congressman Gill MOCKS Mamdani To 'Go Back To Third World' Over Biriyani Video

A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, “Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. Go back to the Third World.” The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh D’Souza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines “American values.” #ZohranMamdani #BrandonGill #RacismInPolitics #TexasCongressman #IndianOrigin #BiryaniGate #ThirdWorld #CulturalRacism #Islamophobia #PalestinePolitics #AmericanValues #TrumpHypocrisy #RightWingRacism #EndWokeness #DineshDSouza #DanielleDSouza #UgandaToNYC #NewYorkPolitics #GOPControversy #MamdaniSpeaks ~HT.408~

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states. He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken. Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines." #TerrorThreat #AlAwlakiSpeech #JihadPropaganda #USNationalSecurity #IslamistExtremism #CounterTerrorism #RadicalIslam #HomegrownTerror #TerrorRecruitment #AssassinationPlot #ExtremistViolence #AntiSemitismAlert #TargetedViolence #USMilitaryThreat #TrumpSecurity #JewishCommunityAlert #MideastTensions #CyberTerrorismWatch #GlobalSecurityThreat #ManhattanThreatAlert ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~
