Overview
The jury could not reach a unanimous decision on the third-degree rape charge against Harvey Weinstein, leading to a mistrial declaration.
Weinstein's retrial followed the overturning of his 2020 conviction for sex crimes, resulting in mixed verdicts on various charges.
Tensions within the jury, including complaints from the foreperson about feeling bullied, contributed to the mistrial on the remaining rape charge.
Prosecutors plan to retry the unresolved charge against Weinstein after the mistrial, which has drawn attention to the impact of the #MeToo movement.
Weinstein, currently serving a 16-year sentence for a 2022 rape conviction, has faced multiple accusations from over 100 women throughout his career.
