Wednesday, May 1, 2024 11:20AMHarvey Weinstein is due back in a New York courtroom Wednesday for his first appearance since an appeals court last week overturned his 2020 rape conviction and ordered a new trial.
Aidala said Weinstein will attend the hearing, despite the 72-year-old having been hospitalized since shortly after his return to the city jail system on Friday from an upstate prison. He has said Weinstein, who has cardiac issues and diabetes, was undergoing unspecified tests due to his health issues.
Aidala said Saturday that he plans to tell the judge that he believes a trial could occur any time after Labor Day. In the New York case that is now overturned, he was convicted of rape in the third degree for an attack on an aspiring actor in 2013, and of forcing himself on Haley, a former "Project Runway" production assistant, in 2006. Weinstein had pleaded not guilty and maintained any sexual activity was consensual.
