Harvey Weinstein's Retrial: Hangin' by a Thread
Weinstein court case: Disagreement on the third charge
New York - The tooth-and-nail battle against obsolete Hollywood honcho Harvey Weinstein's rape charge has hit a roadblock. The 12-strong jury delivering the court a unanimous verdict became a pipe dream, as theyingly informed the court of their inability to reach consensus.
In a dramatic twist on Hump-day, the jurors disclosed their verdicts on two other charges after days of intense deliberation: They thumbs-downed the now 73-year old sexual deviant on a charge of rape.
However, justice didn't serve its course in another charge of serious sexual assault against a second woman, where the jury gave ol' Harvey a not-guilty verdict.
The judge, initially holding onto hope, asked the jury to keep at it for another round of deliberations in the third charge of rape, but ultimately accepted their declaration that they couldn't see eye-to-eye. This leaves the trial hanging by a thread.
Tradition dictates that sentencing will be announced at a later date, but time's-a-tickin', mate.
In case you've been livin' under a rock, Harvey Weinstein has been tangled in a whole mess of legal woes related to sexual misconduct and rape allegations.

Los Angeles wasn't any kinder, with Weinstein facing another trial where the jury was deadlocked on some charges. But in a sneaky move this January, 2023, he was found guilty on other sexual assault-related counts.
