Overview
- Manhattan prosecutors announced on June 25 that they will not seek a fourth trial in the Jessica Mann rape case because Mann told the office she cannot endure further testimony and the DA said it believes her account.
- Three previous New York proceedings over Mann's allegation ended without a verdict after juries repeatedly failed to reach agreement and Mann testified across multiple trials.
- A California appeals court on June 26–27 kept Weinstein's 2022 guilty verdict in place but vacated his 16-year sentence and sent the case back for resentencing, leaving the final term to be decided.
- The Manhattan DA said the office will redirect resources to sentencing matters, including a reported 20-year recommendation in the Miriam Haley case, while Weinstein remains in custody and continues to pursue appeals.
- The developments close one path of retrials but leave broader consequences for survivors and prosecutors, since repeated trials have strained witnesses and may change how high‑profile sexual‑assault cases are pursued in multiple jurisdictions.
