Harvey Weinstein, 72, appeared in court after his 2020 rape conviction was overturned by a New York appeals court.

Prosecutors plan to retry Weinstein in the fall, with discussions ongoing about his potential release and retrial conditions.

Weinstein's defense requested for him to remain in hospital care, while prosecutors argued for continued custody.

His conviction was overturned due to concerns about improper rulings and prejudicial testimony in the original trial.

Weinstein faces health issues and is currently hospitalized, having been transferred from Rikers Island to Bellevue Hospital.

He also received a 16-year sentence in Los Angeles, with an ongoing appeal and possible extradition to California.

The overturned conviction and potential retrial have reignited discussions on criminal sexual behavior among high-profile individuals.

The next court hearing is set for May 29th, with a new trial on sexual crimes scheduled for September.
