HarveyWeinsteinHis New York rape conviction was overturned this spring… and now he’s trying to get the same result in California, having just filed a new appeal.
In new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Weinstein’s lawyers – Jennifer Bonjean It is Michael Freedman – are officially interested in his 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles… claiming that prosecutors relied on false testimony to present a flawed narrative from one of his accusers.
They also went after the prosecution for allegedly presenting damaging information of previously uncharged alleged sex crimes unrelated to the case — which they said unfairly swayed the jury against Weinstein.
His lawyers claim that HW’s constitutional rights were a “casualty” in the trial, noting that he is entitled to a new trial where his rights are “safeguarded, where he is permitted to present evidence of his innocence and where his conduct is on trial – not your character.
You may remember… Weinstein’s lawyers did similar things while fighting for his appeal in NY. Recall that Weinstein’s team claimed he was at a disadvantage of a fair and neutral jury trial, blaming sensational media coverage for influencing the jury.

Their New York plea documents also named a specific juror who they said lied about writing a book about older men preying on younger women.
Finally, Weinstein’s enchantment was profitable …with the appeals court rejecting the conviction as they felt too many witnesses were allowed to testify about alleged prior uncharged sexual misconduct. In fact, he’s on trial again in New York — with prosecutors looking for another bite of the apple.
Weinstein was found liable on one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault at his trial in Los Angeles…but was acquitted of one count of sexual assault.
Weinstein maintained his innocence throughout his highly publicized trials.
