Weinstein Rape Charge Dropped After Two Deadlocked Juries
New York prosecutors dropped Harvey Weinstein’s third-degree rape charge after two juries deadlocked on Jessica Mann’s allegation; Mann had indicated she could no longer endure testifying in another trial. The DA’s office said Mann’s testimony was no longer necessary, while Weinstein remains convicted in a separate sexual-assault case against Miriam Haley and faces sentencing on that charge. The decision comes after multiple trials and retrials over an eight-year fight, with Mann’s accusation unresolved as juries failed to reach a verdict.
