A California appeals court has upheld Harvey Weinstein's 2022 rape and sexual assault convictions while vacating his 16-year prison sentence and ordering resentencing.The 2nd District Court of Appeal unanimously affirmed the guilty verdicts from the Los Angeles County trial and rejected Weinstein's request for a new trial, citing legal errors tied to a reversed New York conviction.Manhattan prosecutors declined to pursue a fourth New York trial and dropped an unresolved rape charge after an accuser declined to testify again, though prosecutors continue to press for a 20-year term for a separate criminal sexual act conviction involving Miriam Haley.Weinstein remains incarcerated in California, his lawyers say they will seek review by the
California Supreme Court, and the ruling underscores differences between California and New York evidentiary rules that have shaped his multiple convictions and sentences.
