Global National: April 25, 2024 | What led to Harvey Weinstein's overturned 2020 rape conviction?

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by the New York Court of Appeals, which ruled he did not receive a fair trial. Eric Sorensen explains what led to the decision, why it doesn't make Weinstein a free man and how this has stunned the women who broke their silence to accuse the ex-movie mogul.

More than half of the Gaza Strip's population has sought refuge in Rafah, where Israel is conducting near-daily raids as it prepares for a full-scale ground invasion.

Easy, he's got deep pockets. The rich have different rules than we do. It's a big issue with the justice system, it goes by how much money you got over anything else.

[@rockyjohnson9243]

RIP Bob Cole.

[@christopherhuddart8960]

Obviously, opening with an American who is currently in jail for whatever is a really good call. You know we are Canadians right?

[@ericwolf2641]

100% - Leading with a Canadian story would have thought to be a 'no brainer'

[@devinmasson8507]

Money, obviously.

Where's Chinese 🇨🇳 Peng Shuai? Zhang Gaoli, a Xi Jinping's buddy, was still vice premiere and walking freely.

[@mujkocka]

The lawyer looks so smuggled.

[@hollyt4527]

When will the government start throwing money at my small busines? Entice me to stay in my small town, employ people there, and provide the locals with healthcar? Enough of all this throwing billions of my money at companies whose top employees are making astronomical amounts.

[@will7its]

Never.....

[@Kevin_geekgineering]

pardoning yourself? that's democracy

[@O.G.MISFIT]

Thanks Bob Cole 🇨🇦👍

[@realitystrikes1998]

He's getting a new trial with stuff taken out. He's not getting OUT of prison. He's been convicted in LA and those charges are like 23 years. He's cooked.

[@Burnlit1337]

His lawyers are also targeting LA's ruling in the same way. Perphaps they rush head long to convict this man; maybe Weinstein is the tortoise, a very rich one with connections rigging the race. This kinda reminds me of this corrupt mayor in Dolton Illinois USA. IDK the exactl details, but its citizens tried to oust her but they rushed it and they failed. So they spent the next few years with a mayor still using the taxpayers as her own personal piggybank to fund her luxious lifestyle, for her and her cronies.

[@winstonsmith935]

I give up! Why?

[@jravage77]

Wait....WHAT?!

[@northerngirl4924]

EV’s??? I predict this will be a dead loss from beginning to end.

[@mandeepbal8340]

[@quantumaffected9982]

It's time to release the Epstein Tapes! Throw them all away!

[@juliaostin8093]

Is he set free?..

[@meghan42]

No.

Obviously, we should honour the first black-faced Prime Minister. He's so worthy of respect.
