A jury has once again convicted Harvey Weinstein of a sex crime, but acquitted him on a second charge, while declaring a mistrial on the third and final count.
The Hollywood producer was on retrial after a New York appeals court overturned his previous verdict, The Associated Press reported.
Update 11:26 a.m. ET June 12: The judge overseeing the case against Weinstein on Thursday declared a mistrial on the final rape charge, the AP reported.
The reason given was that the jury foreperson would not deliberate.
The foreperson said that he felt bullied by another juror and refused to go back to the jury room.
Original report: The jury had a split decision, convicting Weinstein of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley in 2006, Variety reported.
The first-degree criminal sexual act could bring a maximum of 25 years in prison.
He was acquitted of a second criminal sex act charge from an alleged incident involving Kaja Sokola. Sokola testified for about five days, The New York Times reported.
The jury did not return a verdict on a third charge concerning Jessica Mann and was told to continue deliberations.
All three women testified openly in court, Variety reported.
The original trial was affected by “egregious” judicial rulings and prejudicial testimony, the appeals court ruled, tossing Weinstein’s conviction and accompanying 23-year prison sentence, the AP reported.
He was facing charges that involved two women from his original case, along with additional allegations from a third woman who was not part of the first trial.
He pleaded not guilty, denying he raped or sexually assaulted anyone.
Some of the charges that were part of the first trial and that he was acquitted of were not included this time, the AP reported.
