Harvey Weinstein Appeal Already Heading To New York Court

Mere minutes after being found guilty on two counts in his rape trial, Harvey Weinstein is already starting an appeal, sources tell Deadline.

An attorney for the much-accused Oscar-winning producer is in the process of filing an appeal right now in New York State Appellate Court, we’re told, minutes after he was found guilty of rape in the third degree and criminal sexual acts in the first degree, two of five total counts.

With the 25-year maximum on the first degree charge, the conviction could see the 67-year-old Weinstein spend the rest of his life in prison. There is a four-year minimum on that conviction.

Weinstein has been remanded to custody by New York Supreme Court Judge James Burke pending sentencing on Wednesday, March 11.

to get out of prison ASAP. He will sell the possibility to judges and lawyers for them to become millionaires.

He's probably pissed at himself for not setting up a private jet getaway out of the U.S.

And nothing more. Unless they can find a legal discrepancy, he's still incarcerated.
