The Queens Democrat and his progressive allies engineered the elevation of Rowan Wilson to the chief judgeship, leading to the ruling that overturned Weinstein's conviction.
Wilson & Co. decided that introducing witnesses for behavior not charged in the indictment, as done in Weinstein's trial, was unfair.
Gianaris and his allies pushed for a chief judge sympathetic to progressive causes, which allowed for the rewriting of New York law affecting Weinstein's case.
This decision may impact Weinstein's other convictions and could set a precedent for future controversial progressive rulings under Wilson's leadership.
