Former film producer Harvey Weinstein was in court for his retrial as the jury deliberated at Manhattan Criminal Court on June 12, 2025, in New York City. The judge declared a mistrial on the third-degree rape count in Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial on Thursday, after the jury foreman refused to return to deliberate.

The foreman expressed fear of being in the same room with other jurors who allegedly yelled at him to change his mind. Despite being asked to return for deliberation on Thursday, the foreman declined, leading to the dismissal of the remaining jurors.

Weinstein was accused of sexually assaulting three women in New York City over a decade ago. The mistrial came after Weinstein was convicted on one count of criminal sex act involving Mimi Haley and acquitted of another count involving Kaja Sokola. The third count related to an alleged assault on Jessica Mann in 2013.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is prepared to retry Weinstein on the rape count. Weinstein's attorney, Arthur Aidala, plans to appeal the conviction, citing juror misconduct and evidence not admitted at trial.

During the trial, prosecutors claimed Weinstein preyed on the women due to his power in Hollywood, while the defense argued the encounters were consensual. The mistrial followed discord among jurors during deliberations, with the foreman expressing discomfort with the jury's behavior.

Weinstein, 73, did not testify during the trial. The split verdict and mistrial on the third count highlight the challenges faced during the retrial process.

Harvey Weinstein's retrial has been marked by jury chaos and mistrial declarations, indicating the complexities of the legal proceedings in high-profile cases.
