Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein will get a new trial in New York after a state appeals court overturned his 2020 rape conviction. NBC News' Chloe Melas explains why the court ruled that the previous trial against Weinstein was prejudiced.
Convicted and imprisoned former Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized for a “myriad of health conditions,” but also has tested positive for Covid-19 and double pneumonia, a representative said. Weinstein was taken to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward, Weinstein’s representative and prison consultant Craig Rothfeld said. New York Department of Corrections records also show that Weinstein, 72, is at Bellevue.
Weinstein was taken to the hospital to be treated for the 'conditions that he is still afflicted with on a daily basis such as diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, fluid on his heart and lungs, and various other conditions,' Rothfeld said. 'In addition, Mr. Weinstein tested positive for COVID and contracted double pneumonia in his lungs,' Rothfeld said.
