The Harvey Weinstein reversal isn't some regrettable technicality or scrupulous adherence to defendants' rights, it's just bullshit. Weinstein claimed consent, the prosecutors introduced evidence of him victimizing others the exact same way, thereby showing intent. Appalling. See Singas & Cannataro's dissents.
Thankfully, Weinstein also has a 16-year sentence in California, so hopefully he dies in prison anyway. 🙏
