Photograph: Seth Wenig/APHarvey Weinstein’s lawyer said that the former movie mogul has been taken to hospital for tests after his return to New York City following an appeals court ruling nullifying his 2020 rape conviction.
A message left with the hospital was not immediately returned. Messages seeking comment were also left with city and state corrections offices.On Thursday, the New York court of appeals vacated his conviction after concluding that a trial judge had permitted jurors to see and hear too much evidence not directly related to the charges he faced.
Mr Aidala said he spoke to Weinstein on Friday afternoon after he was in transit to New York City from an upstate jail less than 24 hours after the appeals ruling, which was released on Thursday morning.
