LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A judge in New York ruled today that disgraced former film producer Harvey Weinstein can be moved from a New York prison to Los Angeles to face sexual assault charges, but his attorneys filed court papers asking a judge in Los Angeles to block the transfer until he is “medically fit.
One of Weinstein s attorneys, Mark Werksman, said in a statement, “We are disappointed by the judge s ruling, but we are appealing his decision and have filed a habeas corpus petition in the Los Angeles Superior Court to prevent the Los Angeles County District Attorney from transporting Mr. Weinstein to Los Angeles until he can receive the medical care he desperately needs in New York.
