The convicted American film producer Harvey Weinstein (72) has been hospitalized in New York. According to his lawyer, he is not doing too well. “It’s a health wreck.”
Before he goes back to Rikers Island prison next week, Weinstein was in the hospital for some detailed examinations. These are necessary, because the 72-year-old film producer has been struggling with sleep problems, diabetes and heart problems since the start of the #metoo issue. According to his lawyer Arthur Aidala, he is not doing too well. “He needs a lot of help physically,” he said Saturday. “He has a lot of problems so he has to go through a lot of tests. Actually, it’s a health wreck.” According to the man, there is no mental problem.
It was an interesting week for Weinstein. The appeals court in New York decided that his sentence of 23 years in prison for sexual abuse would be overturned, because the producer of the film would not have received a fair trial. The court said that they made that decision because women came to testify about facts that were not charged. That would make a fair trial impossible.
This means that Weinstein will not be released. He was also sentenced to 16 years in prison in California. He must give that expression.
