Harvey Weinstein trial ends in mistrial on final rape charge after jury foreman refuses to deliberate

The retrial of Harvey Weinstein ended abruptly Thursday when the jury foreman refused to join the deliberations on the remaining rape charge against the disgraced movie mogul.

New York state Judge Curtis Farber declared a mistrial and prosecutors vowed to try Weinstein again on the charge the jury had been deadlocked on, namely the third-degree rape charge that accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting former actor Jessica Mann.

The dramatic ending came a day after the jury announced it had unanimously found Weinstein guilty of sexually assaulting one woman and not guilty of assaulting another more than a decade ago.

After the partial verdict was announced, Mann released a statement saying, “I would never lie about rape or use something so traumatic to hurt someone.”

“I didn’t speak up to ruin his life,” Mann said of Weinstein. “He did that. I spoke because mine matters.”
