to face sexual assault and rape charges in Los Angeles, rejecting the producer’s last-ditch efforts to stall the transfer.
Weinstein appeared remotely from the Wende Correctional Facility, where he is serving a 23-year-sentence and receiving treatment for a long list of ailments. He wore a red shirt and a walker could be seen at his side. After the judge made his ruling, Weinstein held his head in his hands. He has been resisting extradition since April, with his attorney repeatedly arguing that the paperwork is not in order. Effman again raised the paperwork issue at the hearing on Tuesday, but did not offer much explanation for his objections. He also stumbled when referring to the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, calling it the “IUD” instead of IAD.
He also said that Weinstein would not receive adequate treatment in Los Angeles. Colleen Curtin Gable, an Erie County prosecutor, argued that was not the case.
