NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein will remain locked up in New York as a court works out whether he should stay in a city jail while he awaits a retrial in a rape case or be sent back to California to continue serving a prison sentence. The fallen movie mogul denied consent for the extradition request from California during a brief court hearing Thursday. Weinstein will continue to be held in New York with the next appearance set for Aug. 7.  Weinstein was released from a city hospital days ago. He showed up for the hearing in a wheelchair and wearing a dark suit.
