Abstract

The article focuses on the mistrial declared in Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial in New York. After a jury delivered a split verdict—convicting Weinstein on one criminal sex act charge, acquitting him on another, and deadlocking on a third charge of third-degree rape—the judge declared a mistrial on the unresolved charge when the jury foreperson refused to continue deliberations, citing threats from another juror. Weinstein's original 2020 conviction was overturned by New York's highest court due to improper admission of testimony from women not directly linked to the charges, leading to the retrial. Weinstein has denied all allegations, which span several decades and contributed to the emergence of the #MeToo movement.
