Harvey Weinstein Wants to See Private Dentist While Awaiting Trial

Lench said she was informed that Weinstein had been seen twice at a jail medical facility, but that there was a disagreement between him and the dentist involving the proposed treatment. She noted that Weinstein's request to see a private dentist was"not an insignificant request,'' and asked the defense to submit information involving the type of dental work requested.

Weinstein's lawyer said his client is"missing teeth,'' looks like a"caricature'' and has difficulty eating. "It is important that it looks like he is not indigent,'' Werksman said, telling the judge that Weinstein has a right to be"presentable.''Prospective jurors are expected to be summoned then to the downtown Los Angeles courtroom to fill out questionnaires gauging their familiarity with the case and ability to serve.

Weinstein was subsequently charged in April 2020 with sexual battery by restraint involving another woman. In November 2020, prosecutors added six more counts -- three counts each of forcible rape and forcible oral copulation -The grand jury subsequently indicted Weinstein on the same charges. Weinstein was extradited from New York, where he was convicted of raping an aspiring actress and a criminal sex act against a former production assistant. The state's highest court has since agreed to hear his appeal involving that case.Weinstein produced such films as"Shakespeare in Love,'' which in 1999 received the best picture Oscar, and"Pulp Fiction.''

Don't let him out he's going to run!

Just give him some Novocain and pull whatever he has.

So were all the women he attacked and assaulted.

Call me crazy, but every single human being deserves this care. He shouldn’t have to ask for it, it should be provided. I don’t care who he is and what he’s done. Two wrongs don’t make a right, remember?
