Social Media Reacts to Harvey Weinstein Getting 2020 Rape Conviction Overturned

News of Harvey Weinstein having his 2020 rape conviction overturned has sent social media into a frenzy.

If you didn’t know, Weinstein, a powerful Hollywood producer, was convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2020 following numerous accusations of sexual misconduct.

His conviction served as a major milestone in the #MeToo movement, dedicated to shedding light on and combatting sexual harassment and assault, particularly within professional environments.

The conviction was overturned due to the trial court’s error in admitting testimony about unrelated past sexual acts and unfairly questioning the defendant about them, despite him having no prior criminal history.

Now, users on social media are grappling with how someone like Weinstein could have his conviction overturned, while others find the news sadly predictable.
