Weinstein stays at hospital for 'chest pain' a day after his sexual assault conviction
NEW YORK - Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was in good spirits on Tuesday, as he accepted visitors while under police guard at a Manhattan hospital, his lawyer said, despite having been convicted a day earlier of sexual assault and rape.
Aidala said Weinstein was “somewhat flabbergasted by the verdict” and “cautiously optimistic” about his eventual appeal. “I almost feel emboldened by Mr. Weinstein’s spirits and his desire to continue to fight these charges,” Aidala added. He quoted Weinstein as saying after the verdict: “I’m innocent. I’m innocent. How can this happen in America?”
