Harvey Weinstein's extradition to California pending the resolution of his New York trial showcases the complexities of legal proceedings involving high-profile defendants accused of serious crimes.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz stated, 'Today, defendant Harvey Weinstein was formally arraigned on a governor's warrant issued by Governor Kathy Hochul, who exercised her authority for him to remain in New York State until his case in New York County is adjudicated.'
Weinstein had been serving a 23-year sentence in New York when Los Angeles jurors convicted him in 2022 of raping an Italian model at a film festival in 2013.
A new trial, which Manhattan prosecutors say could include fresh sexual assault charges, has been tentatively scheduled for Nov. 12, highlighting ongoing legal challenges for Weinstein.
