A lawyer for Harvey Weinstein says the former movie mogul's California sex crime convictions should be also be tossed after his rape conviction in New York was overturned.

Jennifer Bonjean said on NewsNation's "Dan Abrams Live" on Monday that an L.A. jury convicted Weinstein in 2022 after knowing he was convicted in New York. Now that his case has been tossed, she argues that the California conviction should be tossed on appeal and Weinstein should be let out of jail.

"You have to understand that when that Los Angeles jury walked into that courtroom, not only did every potential juror understand that there were allegations generally in the media that he was alleged to have committed these heinous sex crimes," Bonjean said. "But what they also understood and knew was that he was a convicted felon, he came into that courtroom with the stamp of convicted felon on his back."

Weinstein, 72, is being held in New York as authorities there decide whether they will retry him. He is due back in a Manhattan court on Wednesday, May 1.

New York's high court tossed his conviction in Manhattan because the justices determined that testimony about other alleged sex crimes should not have been allowed at the trial.

Weinstein is serving a 16-year sentence for the Los Angeles rape conviction. He was also serving a 23-year sentence in New York before that conviction was tossed.
