We begin with New York's highest court on Thursday overturning the 2020 sex crimes conviction
00:11.5
of former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein
00:14.6
in the case that helped push forward the hashtag MeToo movement.
00:18.9
The State Court of Appeals in a 4-3 ruling concluded that the trial judge made a major error
00:24.6
by allowing prosecutors to introduce testimony from women
00:28.1
who claimed that Weinstein assaulted them even though they were not part of the charges he faced.
00:34.7
The court added that the trial judge also let Weinstein be cross-examined
00:38.9
in a way that portrayed him in a highly prejudicial light.
00:42.8
Judge Jenny Rivera said the remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial.
00:48.4
Weinstein has been serving a 23-year prison sentence
00:51.5
after being convicted in February 2020 of sexually assaulting a former production assistant
00:58.1
In 2006 and raping an aspiring actress in 2013.
01:03.3
It will now be up to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
01:06.6

01:09.7
to decide whether to retry Weinstein.
01:12.8
Filipina-Italian model Ambra Batiliana Gutierrez
01:16.1
who alleged Weinstein broke her breasts and put his hand up her skirt during a cast meeting
01:21.6
was at the center of a New York police sting operation against Weinstein in 2015.
01:27.3
And Weinstein was not the only one who was arrested.
01:28.1
While New York prosecutors didn't pursue her case,
01:31.2
she testified against Weinstein in Los Angeles.
01:34.7
On her Instagram stories, Gutierrez slammed the judge ruling saying,
01:39.4
this is an ongoing failure of the justice system in the courts
01:42.6
to take survivors seriously and to protect our interests, end quote.

As a little girl from Hawaii and then growing up in Kentucky,
03:16.9
coming from really humble beginnings,
03:20.1
