An attorney for Harvey Weinstein said the former film producer was 'upbeat' as he remains in Bellevue Hospital
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. The actress Ellen Barkin, a friend of Sciorra, tweeted on Tuesday: “Convicted rapist harvey weinstein is still not in jail. He is in a private suite in Bellevue hospital. This is not what the jury had in mind.”Weinstein’s guilty verdict was a milestone for the #MeToo movement, which was fueled by his case starting in late 2017.
