The latest update in the Harvey Weinstein trial is that the jury is possibly deadlocked on two charges.
The jury has been deliberating this week and they reached a partial verdict. The jurors wrote a note to the judge that said, “We the jury ask if we can be hung on counts one and three, and unanimous on the others.”
A partial verdict will not be accepted in this case and the judge told the jury to keep deliberating, though they were dismissed a half hour later for the weekend. Deliberations will continue on Monday, according to Deadline.
The two charges that the jury is deadlocked on are charges of predatory sexual assault against two women. Miriam Haleyi says that Weinstein forced oral sex on her in a hotel room in 2006 and Jessica Mann says that she was raped by Weinstein in a hotel room in 2013.
The Sopranos actress Annabella Sciorra, who says she was raped by the disgraced movie mogul 27 years ago, was able to testify, though her allegation is too old to prosecute.
