If Harvey Weinstein decided to appeal the judgment of his New York trial, the one who was convicted of rape and sexual assault will go to jail. The producer was admitted to Bellevue Hospital in New York after heart palpitations when he was transferred to Rikers Island just after his verdict, but he will not stay there.
According to the New York Times , the former boss of Miramax, who faces up to 25 years in prison, could be transferred to the best-kept prison medical unit in the United States. Like other personalities before him, he will not share his cell, to "guarantee his safety". If he does not yet know the length of his sentence, the producer already has his serial number: "prisoner N ° 06581138Z".
A cell with almost all comfort
As a former Rikers Island employee put it to the New York daily, Harvey Weinstein should stay in a "double cell", "private" and "with everything you need", namely "a shower and a toilet ", A" television "and even" a personal telephone ". The source compared the cell to "a small apartment".
The Weinstein affair is also far from over. In addition to the appeal for his trial in New York, the ousted tycoon will soon be tried for sex crimes on the other side of the United States, in Los Angeles.
