Miranda Warnings

The New York State Bar Association is re-releasing an episode of the Miranda Warnings podcast from 2020 about the defense strategy in the criminal case against Hollywood film mogul Harvey Weinstein. In April 2024 the New York State Court of Appeals overturned the criminal conviction of Harvey Weinstein in a 4 to 3 ruling.

In September 2020, following Weinstein’s conviction, the members of his defense team appeared on Miranda Warnings to discuss the case and their plans for appeal.  Weinstein attorneys Arthur Aidala and former Judge Barry Kamins outlined different strategies for appeal, which proved successful.
