He underwent “all kinds of tests”. Harvey Weinstein was hospitalized after returning to New York, after one of his rape convictions was reversed on Thursday by a city appeals court, his lawyer announced Saturday Associated Press.
The 72-year-old fallen representative was transferred Friday from a prison in Mohawk, New York, to a facility in New York City, according to the appeals court decision. He was transferred to the hospital as soon as he reached the city. “It looks like he needs a lot of help physically,” his lawyer said, adding that his client had “a lot of problems” and was undergoing “all kinds of tests.” .
Convicted in another case
A New York appeals court on Thursday overturned the rape and sexual assault conviction of a former Hollywood star’s agent in 2020. That court found “serious procedural errors” has been committed and therefore the fairness of the case has been compromised.
Harvey Weinstein is not free yet. He still faces a 16-year prison sentence, and was sentenced for court in Los Angeles in 2022 for other enforcement. He will have to appeal this judgment on May 20, according to his lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, who said that he hoped her conviction in New York would work for her client .
The former producer has already been hospitalized several times for heart problems and hypertension. He appeared at his trial in 2020 with a walker.
