'Dirty Old Git' Harvey Weinstein Hospitalized After Returning to Rikers Island
Harvey Weinstein 72, Hospitalized After Returning to Rikers Island Following The Shocking Overturn of Rape Conviction

'LYING Dirty Old Git' Harvey Weinstein hospitalized after arriving at Rikers Island
Attorney Arthur Aidala said Weinstein was moved to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, seen here, after his arrival on Friday into Rikers Island
Weinstein, pictured with ex-wife Georgina Chapman in happier times, was a titan of the movie industry before allegations of sexual abuse made him the face of the #MeToo movement
Attorney Arthur Aidala said Weinstein was moved to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan after his arrival on Friday into Rikers Island.
Aidala said: 'They examined him and sent him to Bellevue. It seems like he needs a lot of help, physically.
'He's got a lot of problems. He's getting all kinds of tests. He's somewhat of a train wreck health wise.'
The New York Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that the disgraced movie producer did not receive a fair trial when he was convicted in 2020.
Weinstein, 72, has been serving 23 years in a New York jail for the two sex attacks against aspiring actress Jessica Mann and production assistant Mimi Haleyi. He was handed a further 16 years following his conviction in LA in 2022.
The ruling concluded 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's ailments are physical, adding that mentally he is 'sharp as a tack. Feet are firmly planted on the ground.'
