Overview
- The jury in Harvey Weinstein’s New York rape retrial, which began deliberating Wednesday, was sent home early after his lawyers reported he had chest pains.
- Judge Curtis Farber said jurors will return Thursday to hear a brief readback from Mann’s cross-examination and to review the prosecution’s timeline of emails and other evidence.
- The single charge asks jurors to decide whether Weinstein raped Mann in a Manhattan hotel in March 2013, with prosecutors alleging forced sex and the defense saying it was consensual.
- This marks a third New York trial on the Mann allegation after a 2020 conviction was overturned on appeal and a 2025 retrial ended with a hung jury on her count.
- Weinstein, 74, remains jailed at Rikers Island with longstanding health problems and is also convicted in separate sex-crime cases in New York and California that he is appealing.
