Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized following his return to New York after his 2020 rape conviction was overturned due to an unfair trial. The former film producer was moved from Rikers Island to a hospital due to cardiac issues, diabetes, sleep apnea, and eye problems.

On Thursday, a panel of mostly female appellate judges overturned his conviction from 2020. They ruled the trial court erred by allowing testimony from women not directly involved in the case.

Weinstein remains in custody and has been serving 23 years for two sex attacks. He has also received a 16-year sentence from a 2022 Los Angeles conviction, which his legal team is appealing.

Weinstein’s attorney: “He’s got a lot of problems. He’s getting all kinds of tests. He’s somewhat of a train wreck health-wise. They refused to give him even a sip of water, no food, no bathroom break. He’s a 72-year-old sickly man.”
