Harvey Weinstein is “train-wreck health-wise” as he’s admitted to hospital
Content warning: this article discusses rape and sexual assault.Harvey Weinstein is in poor health, according to his lawyer.The former movie producer was found guilty on February 24, 2020 after being convicted of first-degree and third-degree rape, and was sentences to 23 years in a New York state prison.Last week, The New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein’s 2020 conviction for rape, deeming that the judge at the trial gave improper rulings.However, Weinstein remains imprisoned, serving a 16 year sentence following a 2022 California rape conviction.Now, Weinstein’s lead attorney, Arthur Aidala, has shared that the 72-year-old is in poor health, telling reporters (as per Associated Press) that his client was admitted to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.Aidala began: “They examined him and sent him to Bellevue.
It seems like he needs a lot of help, physically.”“He’s got a lot of problems,” Aidala shared. “He’s getting all kinds of tests.
He’s somewhat of a train wreck, health-wise.”Weinstein is still set to appear in court in New York on May 1. As reported by Associated Press (via Screen Daily), Manhattan District Attorney’s office said: “We will do everything in our power to retry this case, and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault.”In February this year, Aidala argued that the judge at the 2020 New York trial allowed three women to testify against Weinstein’s character, despite not being directly involved in the allegations for which he was being charged.“This is major prejudice,” Aidala argued. “It’s saying, ‘He’s a bad guy.
