Weinstein's Los Angeles sex crimes retrial ends in mistrial

pt.euronews.com (Portuguese)

Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial ended in a mistrial after the jury foreman refused to deliberate further, leaving one rape charge unresolved. The judge declared the mistrial on Thursday. The jury reached a split verdict, convicting Weinstein on one count of criminal sexual act but acquitting him on another. The foreman's refusal to deliberate on the remaining rape charge led to the mistrial. This marks another setback in the #MeToo era case against the former film mogul, who faces a new sentencing next month and a potential third trial in New York. Weinstein denies all accusations.
