Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction was overturned Thursday by the New York Court of Appeals and many are wondering what happens next.

Weinstein has been serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York's Mohawk Correctional Facility following his conviction on charges of criminal sex act for forcibly performing oral sex on a TV and film production assistant in 2006 and third-degree rape for an attack on an aspiring actor in 2013.

In an interview with NBC News on Thursday following the New York Court of Appeal's decision, Weinstein's longtime spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said that their first order of priority is to seek medical care for the 73-year-old.

"We’re going to try to bring him for medical care here in Bellevue [Hospital] down here first," he said. "[Weinstein] is still in a walker, still in a wheelchair ... he has audio issues, he has heart issues. Harvey has a lot of health mountains and hurdles to climb but hopefully this cheers up his mood better and helps him fight them better."

While he awaits a new trial in New York, Engelmayer said there is a chance Weinstein may be extradited to California where he faces a 16-year prison sentence after being convicted of rape and sexual assault in a separate trial in 2022.
