Harvey Weinstein diagnosed with leukemia while serving time in New York jail

Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia while serving time at Rikers Island jail. This diagnosis adds to his existing health issues, which include recent heart surgery and complications from COVID-19 and pneumonia. Weinstein, 72, is facing new legal challenges as prosecutors seek to combine these charges with previous ones. His 23-year sentence in New York was recently overturned due to trial issues, but he remains convicted of rape in Los Angeles. His legal team is pushing for a quicker trial date, stating Weinstein is eager to prove his innocence. He appeared in court recently in a wheelchair, showing no visible emotion as his health continues to decline.
