Harvey Weinstein's Bid to Move Trial Rejected

Harvey Weinstein has lost a longshot bid to move his sexual assault trial out of New York City.
A state appellate panel rejected the request Thursday, according to Newser.com.
It dismissed the movie mogul’s concerns he wouldn’t get a fair trial in the world’s media capital.
The five-judge panel issued the decision after reading submissions from Weinstein’s lawyers and prosecutors.
The panel didn’t give a reason for the decision and Weinstein is still free on $1 million bail.
Weinstein is due to stand trial in January on rape charges to which the producer has pleaded not guilty.
