Judge declares mistrial in Harvey Weinstein's third New York rape retrial after jury deadlocks
A Manhattan judge declared a mistrial in Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial on Friday after jurors deadlocked on the charge that Weinstein raped Jessica Mann in a hotel room in 2013. It is the second consecutive mistrial on this specific charge, and the third time a New York jury has considered the case. Weinstein remains incarcerated due to other sex crime convictions, and prosecutors have until late June to decide whether to pursue a fourth trial.
