In a 4-3 decision, the New York Court of Appeals found that the trial judge who presided over Mr. Weinstein's case had made a crucial mistake, allowing prosecutors to call as witnesses a series of women who said Mr. Weinstein had assaulted them but whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.
The four judges in the majority wrote that Mr. Weinstein was not tried solely on the crimes he was charged with, but instead for much of his past behavior.
