Weinstein is winning some battles, but will he win the war?

Another day, another Weinstein judicial plot-twist.

If you are confused about the endless comings and goings in the various trials, retrials and appeals regarding disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, well – join the club.

There are two clusters, so to speak: one in Los Angeles, one in New York.

We have been reporting on the THREE NYC rape trials: he was convicted in two counts in a trial, the conviction was overturned on appeal, on the first retrial, he was convicted of one count, but the jury deadlocked in the second.

Hang on, there’s more: in his second NYC retrial, the jury AGAIN deadlocked, and it ended up in a mistrial.

Finally, NYC prosecutors dismissed the remaining rape charge because the alleged victim, Jessica Mann, refused to go through with a FOURTH trial, getting grilled by Weinstein’s high-octane legal team led by Marc Agnifilo.

But he is still convicted on one sexual assault charge, against former Project Runway production assistant Miriam Haley in 2020 – and the prosecutors are asking for a 20-year sentence.

NOW, we get to the other cluster: in Los Angeles.

Today, an appeals court upheld Weinstein’s 2022 rape and sexual assault conviction in California, but ordered his trial judge to ‘resentence’ him.

While all these developments take place, the former movie magnate remains behind bars, having said that he is afraid to die in prison.

“In California, Weinstein, 74, was convicted in December 2022 of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault against an Italian model and actor known during the trial as Jane Doe 1. Weinstein was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

The former movie magnate’s lawyers argued in his appeal that in his Los Angeles County trial, the testimony of the head of a film festival was unfairly limited by Superior Court Judge Lisa B. Lench, and had been seeking a new trial.”

Weinstein will be sentenced for his NY conviction in September. His California prison term would be served only after that.
