Harvey Weinstein害羞草研究所檚 lawyer said Saturday that the one-time movie mogul has been hospitalized for a battery of tests after his return to New York City following an appeals court ruling nullifying his 2020 rape conviction.

Attorney Arthur Aidala said Weinstein was moved to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan after his arrival on Friday to city jails.

害羞草研究所淭hey examined him and sent him to Bellevue. It seems like he needs a lot of help, physically. He害羞草研究所檚 got a lot of problems. He害羞草研究所檚 getting all kinds of tests. He害羞草研究所檚 somewhat of a train wreck health wise,害羞草研究所 Aidala said.

A message left with the hospital was not immediately returned Saturday.

Frank Dwyer, a spokesperson with the New York City Department of Correction, said only that Weinstein remains in custody at Bellevue. Thomas Mailey, a spokesperson for the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, said Weinstein was turned over to the city害羞草研究所檚 Department of Correction pursuant to the appeals ruling. Weinstein had been housed at the Mohawk Correctional Facility, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Albany.

On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals vacated his conviction after concluding that a trial judge permitted jurors to see and hear too much evidence not directly related to the charges he faced. It also erased his 23-year prison sentence and ordered a retrial.

Prosecutors said they intend to retry him on charges that he forcibly performed oral sex on a TV and film production assistant in 2006 and raped an aspiring actor in 2013.

Weinstein remained in custody after the appeals ruling because he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

For some time, Weinstein has been ailing with a variety of afflictions, including cardiac issues, diabetes, sleep apnea and eye problems.

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 Thursday morning.

He said his client害羞草研究所檚 ailments are physical, adding that mentally he is 害羞草研究所渟harp as a tack. Feet are firmly planted on the ground.害羞草研究所

The lawyer said it usually takes state corrections and prisons officials a week or two to arrange to transport a prisoner.

Mailey, the state corrections spokesperson, had no comment when Aidala害羞草研究所檚 remarks about Weinstein害羞草研究所檚 treatment were read to him over the phone.

Aidala said he was told that Bellevue doctors planned to run a lot of tests on Weinstein before he can be returned to the Rikers Island jail complex.

The lawyer said he害羞草研究所檚 scheduled to meet with Weinstein on Monday. He added that he plans to tell a judge when Weinstein goes to court on Wednesday in Manhattan that a retrial should occur after Labor Day.
