Exactly one month ahead of his criminal trial, Harvey Weinstein appeared in court for a bail hearing that was necessitated by changes in the law. The former head of Miramax and the Weinstein Compan…
The former head of Miramax and the Weinstein Company, once alternately feared and celebrated as one of the most powerful men in movies, hobbled into the downtown courthouse limping and relying, at times, on a cane or the help of an assistant. He was dressed in an ill-fitting light grey suit — his hair was thinning and he looked pale and enfeebled.
Weinstein was forced into court, due to an overhaul to New York’s criminal justice system, set to go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020, just a few days before the disgraced Hollywood mogul’s high-profile sexual assault trial is set to begin. The new changes in New York will include eliminating bail for nonviolent felonies and expediting the timeframe for prosecutors to supply evidence to the defense.
Prosecutors said that Weinstein could use his financial resources to flee the country, noting that he had sold $60 million in real estate over the past two years and has a penchant for flying in private planes. Rotunno said that Weinstein flies private because his ankle monitor presents difficulties getting through security. Defense attorneys said that much of Weinstein’s wealth was tied up because his company went bankrupt due to his legal issues and he has to pay alimony to two ex-wives.
