Overview

• Harvey Weinstein has been relocated from Rikers Island to Bellevue Hospital after a judge ruled his health conditions required immediate attention.
• Judge Paul Goetz’s order allows Weinstein to remain at Bellevue until at least next Thursday, when a hearing will reassess his medical needs.
• Weinstein’s legal team argued that substandard conditions at Rikers worsened his chronic health issues, including leukemia and diabetes.
• Jury selection for Weinstein’s rape and sexual assault retrial has seated nine jurors so far, with proceedings set to resume Monday after a Good Friday pause.
• The retrial follows the 2024 overturning of Weinstein’s 2020 conviction, which was vacated due to procedural errors and prejudicial testimony.
