They are sending him to California to serve his 16 year sentence there. The New York times annotated the decision here pretty well which explains the legality of the decision. The Harvey Weinstein Appeal Ruling: Annotated and Explained - The New York Times

What are you worried about, he is still in prison in California!

He was convicted in New York and California but he is in prison in New York.

I was not aware of this.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, testified at the Los Angeles trial that Weinstein raped her in 2005.

So I guess we should no longer “ believe all women”? The #metoo movement was an artificially manufactured fraud to foment cultural and social unrest just like other causes of a certain ideology.

Too many rich and powerful in that list. They can't set the precedence of actually jailing them so...

Weinstein
 

Leave it to those stupid New York City judges to continually usurp the Constitution and make bad decisions. Somewhere I refuse to visit.

I agree, much ado about nothing. Certainly appears there WAS major legal procedural errors, and I am happy that those were not just ignored because THAT can effect ALL of us, not just in this case where most of us take a very low view of this individual. HOWEVER, I for one believe he will die in prison regardless of this decision. The MEDIA seems to be the SCREAMING this headline and of course know a LOT Of the public will just assume this means he's "off free" !

Take a look at the dissent. She gets it.

Those that have money and influence seem to get away with their crimes.

Women have been taken advantage of by men for decades and no one really cares. It always becomes a "he said" "she said" and the one with the money and power wins.

Allegations without convictions shouldn’t have been admitted.
The Judge was wrong. Thank God for Appellate Courts & the Supremes.
Weinstein is still in jail as sentenced on other charges. Good decision to overturn.
Filthy Defendant, but Court should follow the law; our Courts need cleaning. In most States you only have to be a lawyer for five years & you can run for a bench. Some Judges aren’t even lawyers - no law school (Constitutional Judges in TX).
You just have to get those ballots in; no test needed & you can be a Judge.

"If" they used physical violence? Hello? Clearly, some people remain vastly under informed about the filthy and criminal conduct of those two.

Would you deem drugging women into unconsciousness and then having sex with their passed-out bodies to be physical violence? That was psychopathic Cosby. He did that to many women, over years.

Weinstein? He's a serial rapist too. At least one woman went to police after he had done so and presumably gotten a rape kit taken as well. Well, how convenient, the Manhattan DA at the time, Cyrus Vance Jr, just happened to decide that there "wasn't enough to charge Weinstein" so, he didn't. A few weeks later, Weinstein's law firm sent the Vance re-election campaign a $30,000 donation.

How many times did that happen, we all wonder? There's non-justice for you! That's what big shots do -- cover for each other and make pay-offs.

Weinstein also RUINED careers of some women who rebuffed him and got away before he could accost them. That's what happened to Mira Sorvino. Harvey called director, Peter Jackson (of Lord of the Rings fame) and trashed Mira to him, whom Jackson was considering for an upcoming role. He didn't hire her based on lies Weinstein spewed. Jackson publicly admitted it after Harvey got busted - he was embarrassed and apologized to her. But, how many other Directors did HW go out of his way to influence in order to ruin her career? Obviously, there were others b/c she got no work for years. That's how filthy that guy is.

How does she, and the other women he did that to, get recourse for that, Brian? Financial and otherwise?

Wow, much confusion there ^^^ and VERY low information. Like so many others.

Nicely put.

I recall my younger brother would make jokes about Bill Cosby when my brother still lived and worked in Reno, Nevada. He could get a lot of the gossip going around while working at the Reno airport renting cars.

I did not get the jokes. Then.
