Harvey Weinstein, 72, has been transferred to Bellevue Hospital for medical tests following the overturning of his 2020 rape and sexual assault convictions on April 25.

The appeals court ruling vacated Weinstein's conviction, nullified his 23-year sentence, and ordered a retrial on the charges.

Despite the overturned conviction in New York, Weinstein remains in custody due to a separate conviction in Los Angeles.

The decision to vacate Weinstein's conviction has elicited concern from public figures like Governor Kathy Hochul and attorney Gloria Allred about its potential negative impact on survivors of abuse coming forward.

There is a dissent within the appeals court, with two justices warning that the ruling may compromise the safety and interests of women.

Weinstein's lawyer, Arthur Aidala, plans to request a retrial after Labor Day, while Weinstein continues to face health issues requiring significant physical assistance.
