Weinstein Retrial: Guilty Verdict, Jury Deadlock

Harvey Weinstein was found guilty by a New York jury on one count of first-degree criminal sexual act against Miriam Haley in a retrial that followed the overturning of his 2020 conviction due to witness testimony issues. He was acquitted on a charge involving Kaja Sokola, while the jury could not reach a verdict on a third-degree rape charge related to Jessica Mann. The retrial featured three accusers and was marked by reported juror infighting and concerns about outside influence. Weinstein maintains his innocence and plans to appeal the verdict once sentenced. He continues to serve a 16-year sentence in California for a separate conviction, which is also under appeal. The outcome is viewed as a partial victory by accusers and highlights ongoing challenges in prosecuting high-profile sexual assault cases.
