Weinstein's lawyers praise overturning of conviction

Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has
been overturned by a New York panel of judges.

The ruling cited "egregious" errors in his trial.

He remains in jail for now while a judge decides if he should face a retrial.

Weinstein was also sentenced in Los Angeles to 16 years in prison for
a rape conviction, which still stands despite the ruling in New York.

His lawyer spoke after Thursday's decision.

IN: "What the..."
OUT: "... trial."
DUR: 18 seconds
