Manhattan prosecutors have indicated they plan to retry his case after an appeals court ruled last week he did not receive a fair trial in 2020.

Weinstein, 72, was admitted to a hospital in the city two days after his conviction was quashed.

He remains jailed because of a separate rape conviction in California.

Weinstein was sentenced to 16 years in prison in that case.
