Harvey Weinstein hospitalized after transferring to Rikers Island jail prior to court appearance

Movie producer Harvey Weinstein was taken to the hospital on Saturday for a battery of tests after he returned to Rikers Island jail prior to his court appearance. 

Weinstein was taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan for a thorough exam, according to his attorney, Arthur Aidala.

Aidala said Weinstein "needs a lot of help, physically," according to NBC News. 

"He’s got a lot of problems," Aidala added. "He’s getting all kinds of tests. He’s somewhat of a train wreck health wise."

Earlier this week, the New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein's rape conviction.

The court ruled that Weinstein didn't receive a fair trial in a 4-3 decision. The court said some of the women who testified made accusations against Weinstein that were not related to the charges at the heart of the case.

Weinstein is currently serving a 23-year sentence in a New York jail where he will remain, despite the decision to overturn the ruling.
