Harvey Weinstein's Conviction in California Strong, L.A. D.A.'s Workplace Says

Harvey Weinstein‘s guilty verdict in New York was overturned, but there’s no way that happens here on the West Coast … according to the L.A. County D.A.’s Office, that is.

While many are questioning whether Weinstein’s L.A. conviction will hold up now that a NY appeals court tossed his conviction, the prosecutors who handled the case here in Cali aren’t worried one bit … telling TMZ its case was consistent with state law.

A rep for the D.A.’s office says California law allows “propensity evidence” in sexual assault cases subject to a judge’s discretion … и, the office used evidence of Weinstein’s sexual assaults in other jurisdictions to make its case — totally legal, according to them.

Фактически, the office is so sure its conviction will stand, that even its leader, District Attorney George Gascón went on the record … telling the Los Angeles Times he’s totally comfortable with the conviction’s validity.
