Harvey Weinstein´s lawyer has said that that the onetime movie mogul has been hospitalized for a battery of tests after his return to New York City.
Attorney Arthur Aidala said Weinstein was moved to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan after his arrival on Friday to city jails.
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.

The ruling concluded that a trial judge permitted jurors to see and hear too much evidence not directly related to the charges he faced.
