Harvey Weinstein’s sex crimes retrial ended with no verdict on a rape charge Thursday as the jury foreperson refused to continue deliberating because of alleged threats from another juror — just one day after the disgraced Miramax mogul was convicted on a more serious sex rap.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber ruled that the deadlocked jury had not been able to reach a unanimous verdict on whether Weinstein, 73, raped former actress Jessica Mann inside a Midtown hotel room in 2013.
“Sometimes jury deliberations become heated. I understand this particular deliberation was more heated than some others. That’s unfortunate,” Farber told the panelists, before finding a mistrial on the rape charge.
