Robert Weisberg, JD ’79, the Edwin E. Huddleson, Jr. Professor of Law, was recently interviewed by Legal Aggregate regarding the recent overturning of the Harvey Weinstein New York conviction.
"Here, the majority concluded that the trial judge crossed the line and thereby denied ...Weinstein a fair trial. Also, because the judge admonished Weinstein that if he testified on his own behalf, he would be subject to cross examination on these uncharged acts, the court ruled that Weinstein was unfairly deterred from exercising his right to testify," said Weisberg, regarding the majority's opinion.
