Harvey Weinstein's lawyers claim medical neglect and poor conditions at Rikers Island jail

news.yahoo.com — November 28, 2024 at 02:02 AM UTC

Harvey Weinstein's lawyers have filed a claim seeking $5 million in damages, alleging medical neglect and unsafe living conditions at Rikers Island jail. They argue that the facility has failed to address his serious health issues, including leukemia and diabetes. The legal documents describe unsanitary conditions, including unwashed clothes and lack of clean underwear. Weinstein's attorney criticized the treatment he received, comparing it to a "gulag" rather than a properly managed prison. Weinstein is currently awaiting a new trial after his previous conviction was partially overturned earlier this year. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape in 2020.
