Harvey Weinstein has appealed his sex crime conviction from his 2020 New York trial, according to docs obtained by Fox News.
The disgraced movie producer was found guilty in February 2020 of rape and a criminal sexual act. The now 69-year-old was sentenced to 23 years in prison in March 2020.
Weinstein's lawyers filed a 166-page appeal on Monday claiming Manhattan Supreme Court Justice James Burke "woefully neglected" to ensure a fair trial.
