✦ AI Brief
Harvey Weinstein's lawyer argued that his 2022 rape conviction should be overturned due to improperly withheld evidence. She claimed that jurors were unaware of key evidence that the victim was with someone else on the night of the incident, which would have supported Weinstein's defense. The lawyer argued that the excluded evidence of a sexual affair with another person should have been used to impeach the victim's testimony.
