Overview

• Harvey Weinstein, 73, was transferred from Rikers Island to Bellevue Hospital on April 17 due to significant health concerns, including chronic myeloid leukemia and diabetes.
• The retrial of Weinstein, which began on April 15, 2025, was initiated after his 2020 conviction was overturned due to procedural errors.
• The retrial focuses on allegations that Weinstein forced oral sex on Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raped Jessica Mann in 2013, which he denies, claiming all encounters were consensual.
• Weinstein's defense argues that harsh conditions at Rikers Island, including inadequate medical care, have exacerbated his health issues, posing life-threatening risks.
• The trial is on hold until April 24, when the court will reassess Weinstein's medical condition and determine the next steps for the proceedings.
