NEW YORK (Reuters) -A judge on Tuesday cleared the way for Harvey Weinstein to be extradited to California from New York to face rape and sexual assault charges, nearly a year after Los Angeles prosecutors first sought to move the convicted former movie producer.
Erie County Court Judge Kenneth Case in Buffalo, New York, rejected arguments by Weinstein s legal team that the paperwork for the move had not been done, and that Weinstein, 69, should stay in New York to get needed medical care. If California doesn t come to pick up Mr. Weinstein within a reasonable period of time, certainly come back to see me, Case told Norman Effman, a lawyer representing Weinstein.
