Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Conviction , Is Overturned.

The action was an "abuse of judicial discretion," the appeals court said. .

The Manhattan district attorney's office
said they will "do everything in our power to
retry this case, and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault."
