Harvey Weinstein lawyers claim unfair trial in LA rape conviction appeal
- Harvey Weinstein's lawyers argue he was denied a fair trial in Los Angeles for the 2022 rape conviction.
- The appeal highlights concerns over the legal proceedings in the high-profile sexual assault case.
- The verdict's legitimacy is brought into question with claims of an unfair trial.
Harvey Weinstein's lawyers are appealing his conviction of rape and sexual assault in Los Angeles, arguing that he did not receive a fair trial. They claim that evidence was wrongly excluded, depriving Weinstein of his constitutional rights. The defense argues that the judge made errors in allowing certain testimony and preventing the jury from seeing Facebook messages that could have impacted the case. The attorneys also question the financial motives of one of the accusers. The prosecution has until Aug. 6 to respond to the appeal.
