Mistrial Declared in Weinstein Retrial Amid Jury Discord

Harvey Weinstein's New York retrial ended in a mistrial on a third-degree rape charge after the jury foreperson refused to continue deliberations, citing bullying and threats from other jurors. The jury convicted Weinstein of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley and acquitted him on a charge involving Kaja Sokola. The charge involving Jessica Mann, who accused Weinstein of raping her in 2013, remains unresolved, and prosecutors plan to retry the case. Deliberations were disrupted by heated disputes and safety concerns among jurors. Weinstein, who denies all charges, saw his previous New York conviction overturned, which led to this retrial. The case has drawn significant public attention and reflects the ongoing impact of the #MeToo movement.
