Harvey Weinstein begs for rape trial to be moved up, 'can't hold on anymore' amid cancer battle
Fox News
Harvey Weinstein appeared disheveled during a court hearing Wednesday. The former film producer requested an earlier trial due to his health conditions, calling Rikers Island a "hellhole."
"I’m asking and begging you to switch," Weinstein told the judge in a rare direct address to the court. "I can’t hold on anymore. I’m holding on because I want justice for myself." "I am begging for you to move your date, so we can proceed with trial as quickly as possible, so I can get out of this hellhole."
Weinstein told Judge Farber that he was given the "wrong pills" earlier Wednesday morning but "caught" the mistake at the "right moment."
