Overview
- Harvey Weinstein's New York rape trial ended in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked Friday, drawing a public note of disappointment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
- The DA's office said it will set next steps after conferring with Jessica Mann, and a legal scholar told AFP prosecutors have 30 days to decide whether to try the case again.
- Mann alleges Weinstein raped her in a Manhattan hotel room in March 2013, while his lawyers maintain the encounter was consensual.
- This was the third New York attempt to resolve Mann’s allegation after a 2020 conviction was later overturned and a 2025 jury also failed to agree on a verdict.
- Weinstein remains in prison on a separate 16-year sentence from a 2023 California conviction that he is appealing, as the 74-year-old continues to contest the charges against him.
