Overview
- Jurors told the court Friday they could not reach a unanimous verdict after three days of deliberations, prompting Judge Curtis Farber to declare a mistrial on the lone third-degree rape charge.
- Prosecutors have 30 days to decide whether to try the case again, with a status hearing set for June 24 to indicate their plan.
- The charge concerns Jessica Mann’s allegation that Weinstein raped her in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013, while the defense argues the encounter was consensual and points to friendly messages afterward.
- New York’s 2020 conviction tied to Mann was overturned in 2024 for allowing testimony from women not charged in the case, and a 2025 retrial produced a conviction for sexually abusing Miriam Haley with sentencing on that count still on hold.
- Weinstein remains in custody, including a 16-year California sentence from a 2022 conviction, as Mann and the Manhattan district attorney now decide whether to pursue a fourth trial.
