Weinstein Reports Chest Pains as Jury Deliberates in NYC Retrial

The health complaint forced a brief pause in a retrial focused on Jessica Mann’s 2013 allegation.

Overview

  • Jurors began weighing the case in Harvey Weinstein’s third Manhattan sex-crimes retrial and asked to review part of Jessica Mann’s testimony and a prosecution timeline of emails and other evidence.
  • During deliberations, Judge Curtis Farber said Weinstein, who was in Department of Corrections custody elsewhere in the courthouse, reported chest pains and was not brought into the courtroom.
  • Farber marked Weinstein for medical attention and ended the day early, with the court planning to provide the requested materials to jurors the next morning.
  • Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo said court officers alerted him to Weinstein’s complaint, and both legal teams left the courtroom to limit juror speculation about Weinstein’s absence.
  • The court did not specify the seriousness of the complaint; Weinstein, 74, has documented health issues, uses a wheelchair, and remains imprisoned as this retrial on Mann’s allegation proceeds.
