"Last June, jurors delivered a split verdict, convicting him on one criminal charge; acquitting him of another; and deadlocking on the final count, resulting in a mistrial after the foreperson refused to return to deliberate and said other jurors were threatening him. The verdictless count, under which Weinstein is accused of raping actress Jessica Mann, is the subject of a retrial set for March but there's a chance the disgraced movie boss will change the plot."
"Earlier on Thursday, Judge Curtis Farber denied Weinstein's motion to set aside his conviction of a criminal sex act in the first degree, which stems from allegations he assaulted former production assistant Miriam Mimi Haley in 2006. According to Weinstein's attorneys, the trial was tainted by fighting and bullying among the jury. Farber detailed a scuffle among jurors his 25-page ruling, and said neither of two juror affidavits submitted in support of Weinstein's motion changes his mind"
Judge Curtis Farber denied a motion to set aside Harvey Weinstein's conviction for a first-degree criminal sex act stemming from allegations by former production assistant Miriam Mimi Haley in 2006. Weinstein faces a March retrial on a separate count accusing him of raping actress Jessica Mann after jurors in the 2025 retrial returned a split verdict: one conviction, one acquittal, and a deadlocked count that produced a mistrial. Defense attorneys allege jury fighting and bullying tainted deliberations, while the judge detailed juror scuffles and found submitted juror affidavits insufficient to overturn the verdict. Defense signaled possible interest in a concurrent plea deal.
