Weinstein to face retrial after 2020 rape conviction overturned

Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction for rape has been overturned.
A New York court ordered a new trial in the landmark "MeToo" case.
The state's highest court found the judge at the trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with "egregious" improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that were not part of the case.
Once considered the most powerful man in Hollywood, Weinstein was accused by dozens of women claiming he bullied, pressured, coerced, or overpowered them while demanding sexual favours.
He was jailed for 23 years in 2020.
