Harvey Weinstein will be allowed to stay in a New York City hospital, instead of jail, during his retrial on sexual assault charges in New York City, The Associated Press reports. Weinstein's lawyers requested the hospital transfer earlier this week,

Harvey Weinstein won a legal victory in his rape and sexual assault retrial in Manhattan, as his pleas to get out of the “hell hole” he calls Rikers Island were granted by the judge.
