Harvey Weinstein Pleads Not Guilty To Sexual Assaults In L.A., Rolls Into Court In Wheelchair Despite Seemingly Walking Hours Prior

Harvey Weinstein has pled not guilty to 11 counts of sexual assault, including rape, in his first Los Angeles court appearance.
The 69-year-old disgraced movie mogul sat before a judge on Wednesday looking frail in a wheelchair.
Just hours prior, Weinstein was photographed walking down a flight of stairs while exiting a private jet when he arrived in Southern California.
As Breaking Celebrity News reported, the ex-Hollywood producer wasn't in handcuffs, despite being behind bars in New York for the past year.
Weinstein hunched over while using his feet to guide him off the private plane on Tuesday.
He struggled, but with the help of a plain-clothed guard -- who was gripping a belt strapped to Weinstein's waist to hold him up -- the convicted sex offender successfully landed at the airport in Burbank, CA.
Wednesday's court appearance proved to be the opposite treatment for Weinstein.
Seen in his wheelchair with his arms shackled, Weinstein sat before Judge Sergio Tapia, who reportedly told him "good luck."
