Harvey Weinstein has actually been required to a health center for health tests days after a New York appeals court reversed his 2020 rape conviction.
The disgraced Hollywood manufacturer, 72, was carried from a main New York jail to a medical ward in New York City’s Rikers Island prison complex April 26, his lawyer Arthur Aidala informed NBCNews After being taken a look at by physicians there April 27, it was chosen to send him to Bellevue Hospital for a more comprehensive test, the attorney stated.
“It seems like he needs a lot of help, physically,” he included. “He’s got a lot of problems. He’s getting all kinds of tests. He’s somewhat of a train wreck health wise.”
Weinstein is still set to appear in a Manhattan criminal court May 1 for his very first look to set a schedule for future hearings ahead of a retrial in his 2020 case, NBC News reported.
On April 25, the appeals court ruled to reverse his conviction for sexually attacking a previous production assistant and raping a hopeful starlet, which had actually landed him a 23- year jail sentence.
