BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imprisoned former movie producer Harvey Weinstein appeared briefly before a Buffalo, New York, judge via video as part of efforts to send him to California to face sexual assault charges.
Weinstein, who was dressed in a maroon shirt and white mask, appeared remotely from Wende Correctional Facility in Alden. Attorney Norm Effman represented Weinstein remotely from his office.
The proceeding lasted about 15 minutes total. During that time, Weinstein and his attorney objected to a request from a media outlet to have a camera crew recording from the jury box.
Weinstein waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly when the judge talked about the request.
Friday's extradition proceeding was rescheduled to April 9. It's the second delay in the proceedings originally scheduled for August.
The 68-year-old is serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York after being convicted in New York City this year on charges of rape and sexual assault against two women.
He faces similar charges involving five women in Los Angeles.
