Harvey Weinstein's criminal retrial in Manhattan concluded without a verdict on a third-degree rape charge related to an incident involving Jessica Mann in 2013. After significant juror tensions and concerns for safety, the jury foreperson declined to continue deliberations, prompting Judge Curtis Farber to declare a mistrial. Meanwhile, the jury's decisions on two other sex-crime charges remain valid. Prosecutors are considering a new trial for the unresolved rape charge, highlighting the complex and contentious nature of this high-profile case.
"I feel afraid inside there. I can't be inside there," the jury foreperson stated, highlighting the intense atmosphere and juror tensions that led to the mistrial.
The other jurors expressed their disappointment, emphasizing that they "don't understand why the foreperson bowed out" during critical deliberations.
