Overview
- Judge Curtis Farber declared a mistrial Friday after about nine hours of deliberations over three days left jurors deadlocked on the 2013 Jessica Mann rape charge.
- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said his office will consult with Mann, and the prosecution has 30 days to determine whether to pursue a fourth trial.
- Weinstein pleaded not guilty to one count of third-degree rape, as Mann testified he forced sex after she said no and the defense argued the encounter was consensual.
- Weinstein remains in prison on a separate 16-year California rape conviction, and his New York sentencing for the 2025 Miriam Haley conviction is on hold until this count is resolved.
- This outcome follows a 2020 New York conviction overturned in 2024 for improper accuser testimony and a 2025 retrial that yielded a Haley conviction, an acquittal in Kaja Sokola’s allegation, and a hung jury on Mann’s count.
