The overturning of #HarveyWeinstein’s NY #SexCrimes conviction, & the ordering of a new trial, may feel like a sudden, shocking turn. He is a fully disgraced figure: sentenced to long #prison terms in 2 cities, defined by the public testimonies of nearly 100 alleged victims [survivors] whose stories formed the cornerstone of the #MeToo movement. But in #legal terms, his NY conviction was always controversial, & his appeals always stood a chance.
