Harvey Weinstein Plans To Appeal New York Conviction

Harvey Weinstein was found guilty by a Manhattan jury on two charges: criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of predatory sexual assault. After the verdict, Weinstein was sent to Bellevue Hospital for a medical emergency instead of Rikers Island. His legal team plans to appeal, arguing jury bias and judicial errors, including the use of prior bad acts witnesses. New York State law prevents filing the appeal before sentencing, and Weinstein faces up to 29 years in prison.
