Harvey Weinstein is facing a retrial for a 2020 rape conviction in New York, raising questions about his 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. Weinstein’s attorney in New York, Arthur Aidala, is hopeful for an appeal in California, citing different rules regarding evidence. The Supreme Court of New York overturned Weinstein’s 2020 rape convictions due to prejudiced rulings, but he will remain imprisoned for his 2022 conviction in Los Angeles. Weinstein’s attorney in Los Angeles believes the overturned New York conviction could impact his California case and potentially lead to his release from prison. The presumption of innocence was questioned by Weinstein’s attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, throughout the legal proceedings.
