Harvey Weinstein’s attorneys are running out of ways to stall his extradition to Los Angeles to face 11 charges of rape and sexual assault.
Weinstein is serving a 23-year sentence at a maximum security prison near Buffalo, N.Y. His attorneys have sought to delay his extradition as long as possible, arguing that his treatment for a host of health issues should not be interrupted. Earlier this month, his attorneys argued that the extradition paperwork was not in order, and won a brief reprieve.
But prosecutors have since resubmitted the extradition request, and Weinstein’s extradition now appears all but inevitable. At a hearing on Friday morning, Erie County Judge Kenneth Case indicated that he will be sent to Los Angeles in 30 days unless Gov. Andrew Cuomo intervenes.
“We don’t need to come back,” the judge said. “He has 30 days to contest the arrest or have the governor disapprove of the transfer.
