Harvey Weinstein will be extradited from New York to Los Angeles to stand trial on multiple sexual assault charges, a judge ruled on Tuesday.
His defense team argued in a New York City court on Tuesday that the former Miramax head honcho should be able to stay in New York since he is currently receiving medical treatment and said Los Angeles prosecutors aren’t even ready to receive Weinstein as area courts have yet to begin jury selection. They also pressed to the court that Weinstein's extradition paperwork was incorrectly completed and didn't correlate to what he was being charged with in Los Angeles, adding that the world is well aware Weinstein is serving 23 years to life in New York and if Los Angeles wants him to stand trial, it can happen virtually.More Related News
