Overview
- Judge Curtis Farber declared a mistrial Friday after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous verdict on the 2013 rape charge involving Jessica Mann.
- Prosecutors said they will consult Mann before deciding next steps, and the court scheduled a late‑June hearing to learn whether the case will be tried again.
- Jurors deliberated for three days, sent notes that they were stuck, received a standard push to keep talking, and several later said nine of 12 favored acquittal because they saw inconsistencies in Mann’s testimony.
- Weinstein remains in custody due to other convictions, including a 16‑year sentence from a 2022 Los Angeles case, and he still awaits sentencing in New York for sexually abusing Miriam Haley in 2006, which could add up to 25 years.
- The latest mistrial follows a 2024 appeals ruling that threw out parts of Weinstein’s 2020 New York conviction for allowing unrelated accuser testimony, a limit that has shaped the successive retrials.
