Weinstein’s Third New York Trial Ends in Mistrial After Jury Deadlock

The deadlock forces Manhattan prosecutors to decide quickly whether to try the case again.

Overview

  • The third New York trial, which ended Friday in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked, leaves the charge of third-degree rape involving Jessica Mann unresolved.
  • Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said he will consult with Mann and has about a month under the judge’s order to decide on pursuing another retrial.
  • Jurors began deliberating Tuesday, and an early session was cut short when Harvey Weinstein reported chest pain as he continues to face serious health issues including cancer.
  • The case follows an appeals court’s annulment of Weinstein’s 2020 New York conviction, a 2025 retrial that produced one conviction and one acquittal, and two hung juries on the Mann allegation.
  • Weinstein remains jailed at Rikers Island while serving a 16-year sentence from a 2022 Los Angeles conviction, and his lawyer Marc Agnifilo urged prosecutors to stop retrying the unresolved New York count.
