Harvey Weinstein reports chest pain and court ends early as jury deliberates in his rape retrial
Jurors asked to rehear testimony and review evidence as the judge ended deliberations early after Weinstein reported chest pains.
- On Wednesday, jurors began deliberating in the rape retrial of Harvey Weinstein, weighing a Manhattan case involving Jessica Mann that epitomized the #MeToo movement.
- This second retrial follows a proceeding last year where jurors failed to reach a verdict, after an appeals court overturned Weinstein's 2020 New York conviction.
- The current jury heard nearly three weeks of testimony, including five days from Mann, who testified that Weinstein subjected her to unwanted sex on March 18, 2013.
- Lawyers for Weinstein, 74, maintain the encounter was consensual, while Mann has said she was "normalizing everything" regarding her complicated feelings.
- Oscar-Winning Weinstein faces one count of rape in the third degree, following criminal convictions in New York and California that were generated by other accusations.
