Harvey Weinstein ‘Begging’ to Move Up Trial Date: ‘I Want to Be Out of This Hellhole’ and ‘I Can’t Hold On’

Harvey Weinstein's trial date has been set, but he pleaded for it to be moved up earlier so he could be 'out of this hellhole.'

Harvey Weinstein ‘s New York trial date has been set for April 15, but the disgraced movie mogul pleaded for an earlier start due to his recent cancer diagnosis and poor health conditions. The appeals court ruled that Weinstein’s original trial committed an error by allowing three additional accusers to testify about their own assault allegations when they should not have been permitted. In September, Weinstein was indicted on an additional sex crimes charge after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a Manhattan hotel on one occasion between April 29, 2006, and May 6, 2006.
