Judge declares a mistrial in Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial after jury says it is deadlocked – AP News

A judge has declared a mistrial in the third Manhattan sex crimes trial of former film producer Harvey Weinstein.

The ruling followed a notification from the jury stating that they had reached a deadlock and were unable to agree on a verdict.

This specific legal proceeding served as a retrial focused on rape charges against the former entertainment mogul, who once held significant influence over the film and television industry.

According to the New York Post, the conclusion of the trial came after the judge received a surprise note from the jury regarding their inability to reach a consensus.

The proceedings took place in New York City, marking the third attempt by Manhattan prosecutors to reach a verdict in this particular set of sex crimes charges.
