Weinstein has also been charged with sexually assaulting five different women in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills and a hearing that could lead to his extradition to California is scheduled for later this month. latimes.com/california/sto…
In the 160-page appeal, Weinstein’s legal team once again attacked the credibility of the six women who testified at his 2020 trial in lower Manhattan. latimes.com/california/sto…
But in their appeal, Weinstein’s lawyers also zoned in on a series of legal errors they allege were committed by New York Supreme Court Judge James Burke, mistakes that they argue made it impossible for Weinstein to receive a fair trial. latimes.com/california/sto…

Is there anything to worry about?

Breaking: California is aiming to fully reopen its economy June 15.
Getting to that point will hinge on two factors: a sufficient vaccine supply to inoculate all those who are eligible and stable and low numbers of people hospitalized with the disease. latimes.com/california/sto…
June 15 also won’t bring a full return to pre-pandemic life. Notably, California’s mask mandate will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
But officials expressed confidence that the state, through continued improvement in its coronavirus metrics and the steady rollout of vaccines, is now positioned to begin actively planning for what comes after COVID-19.
