Harvey Weinstein wants out of Rikers Island badly . and into a medical center during his retrial in his New York criminal case.
The jailed movie mogul’s legal team filed an emergency petition with the court to have him transferred from the notorious Rikers prison complex to Bellevue Hospital due to alleged gross mismanagement of his deteriorating health.
According to Tuesday’s filing, obtained by TMZ, Weinstein accuses Rikers medical staff of failing to provide him with proper healthcare, as well as misdiagnosing at least one condition. Weinstein says this led to his health becoming wildly unstable, requiring «regular» hospitalization at Bellevue, including its ICU unit.
