Harvey Weinstein was taken to hospital for tests after his return to New York City following an appeals court ruling nullifying his 2020 rape conviction, his lawyer has said.
"He's got a lot of problems. He's getting all kinds of tests. He's somewhat of a train wreck health-wise," Aidala said.Frank Dwyer, a spokesperson with the New York City Department of Correction, said that Weinstein only remains in custody at Bellevue. Thomas Mailey, a spokesperson for the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, said Weinstein was turned over to the city's Department of Correction as per the appeals ruling.
Prosecutors said they intend to press charges once again, claiming he forcibly performed a sex act on a TV and film production assistant in 2006 and raped an aspiring actor in 2013. Weinstein remained in custody after the appeals ruling after he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
He said his client's ailments are physical, adding that mentally he is "sharp as a tack. Feet are firmly planted on the ground." The lawyer explained that it typically takes state corrections and prison officials a week or two to arrange to transport a prisoner.
