Judge Declares Mistrial In Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Retrial After Jury Deadlocks

NEW YORK (AP) — Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial has ended in a mistrial. A judge declared it Friday after the jury deadlocked. The former Hollywood mogul has been convicted of other sex crimes on two U.S. coasts and remains behind bars. But the mistrial leaves the New York rape charge in limbo after three trials. Weinstein appeared expressionless as court officers ushered him out in his wheelchair. The stalemate emerged a few hours into the third day of deliberations. Weinstein didn’t testify during the trial. A majority-male Manhattan jury weighed whether the former movie mogul raped a woman in a New York hotel in 2013. Defense lawyers argue that the encounter was consensual.
