Attorney Barry Kamins argued Wednesday (Dec. 15th) that Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape becausen, “The jury was overwhelmed by such prejudicial, bad evidence.”
According to Vulture, he told a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division, First Judicial Department, “Even if the prosecution had successfully identified a proper basis for admission of prior acts — which it did not — the probative value was clearly outweighed by its prejudicial effect.”
A ruling on the appeal is not expected until April.
