Harvey Weinstein requested a new trial in an appeal filed in New York Tuesday for his 2020 rape conviction. Weinstein, 70, was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Weinstein’s lawyers are asking the state’s Court of Appeals to dismiss the disgraced movie mogul’s rape conviction and to order a new trial on a single count of criminal sexual act. The rape charge, they said, involves alleged conduct outside the statute of limitations and couldn't be retried. The Court of Appeals agreed to hear Weinstein’s appeal last summer after a mid-level appellate court upheld his conviction. “Put bluntly, the court of public opinion became the court in this case," Weinstein’s lawyers wrote. A five-judge panel in the state’s intermediate appeals court heard Weinstein’s initial appeal.

Harvey Weinstein is asking New York’s highest court to overturn his 2020 rape conviction, arguing that the judge betrayed his right to a fair trial by “succumbing to the pressure” of the #MeToo movement.
