Harvey Weinstein is expected to make his 1st court appearance after his NY rape conviction was overturned; a Chicago lawyer says he predicted this.Disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein will soon be back in the same Manhattan courthouse where he was tried and convicted four years ago. One of his Chicago attorneys, Damon Cheronis, told the ABC7 Chicago I-Team that, during the trial, he sensed an appellate court might eventually side with his client.
"At one point during the trial, I literally said to the trial court judge, 'what is happening here?' I mean, I don't normally do that, but the amount of evidence that was being let in, and the rulings that were being made," Cheronis said.He co-defended Weinstein during his 2020 trial. The former movie mogul was found guilty of rape and criminal sexual assault.
Even if Weinstein escapes the New York case altogether, he's not off the hook. The one-time wonderman of Hollywood also has a conviction in California, where he was sentenced to 16 years in prison for sex crimes there. He is appealing that case, as well.
