(New York, New York) - Lawyers for film producer Harvey Weinstein on Monday filed an appeal of his conviction for rape and another sex crime. Weinstein, 69, was convicted in February 2020 after a trial. Defense lawyers also argued that Weinstein was denied his right to a fair trial because jurors were allowed to hear claims of serious sexual misconduct by him that were not the subject of the specific charges he faces.
