Disgraced ex-Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein complained about chest pains Wednesday — just hours after the jury began deliberating in histhird Manhattan sex crimes trial.
Weinstein’s health concerns were brought up by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Curtis Farber after the jury handed in their first note during day one of deliberations.
“Mr. Weinstein is in [Department of Corrections] custody and is having chest pains and he is not feeling well,” the judge explained, before adding that DOC didn’t want to “bring him to the courtroom.”
Weinstein’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said that he was alerted about Weinstein’s qualm by court staff.
