Harvey Weinstein Retrial: Impasse on Third Rape Allegation
Grape Collective Dispute: No Consensus Regarding Charge Three in Indictment - Weinstein court case: Disagreement on the third charge
Gab it, folks! The second leg of the Harvey Weinstein retrial in New York is heating things up, and the jury's got some juicy decisions to make. After hours upon hours of deliberation, they've dropped their verdicts on two counts - not good news for the 73-year-old Hollywood titan.
On the accused's ledger, the duo of guilty lights shines bright on him for committing some heinous sexual acts against one woman. But here's where things get shaky: the jury has failed to come to an agreement on a third charge of serious sexual crimes against another woman.
I'm talking about a third charge that involved a second victim, mind you. This time, the jury found the big cheese not guilty, giving hope to his defense team.
In a twist, the judge requested that the jurors keep talking about the alleged rape charge. However, c'mon now, they admitted that they're deadlocked on a verdict. So, that's it for the trial, folks. Judge will dish out the sentencing goods at a later time.
By the way, you probably remember Harvey Weinstein, right? You know, the former movie mogul who's become the face of the MeToo movement and all its ugly power struggles in Tinseltown? Yup, that guy.

Now, lemme give you a little inside scoop: back in my last update, Weinstein got convicted in the New York trial. He was found guilty of two felony sex crimes: one count of rape in the third degree and one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree. The third charge, which involved predatory sexual assault, was also in the mix - it encompassed allegations from not one but two women.
But, what's this? The jury missed him on the most serious charge of predatory sexual assault related to the second woman! While the predatory sexual assault conviction was critical because it included accusations from several victims, it carryin' a longer sentence, as you might imagine. He got slapped with 23 years in the pen in New York, darlin'.
Also, ol' Harvey faced charges in LA, where he copped a 16-year sentence for separate incidents from the New York trial. But let's not dig up old news, eh? Go check out the latest headlines or dive into the court records for the latest scoop.
In the ongoing Harvey Weinstein retrial in New York, the jury has reached a verdict for two charges, including a guilty verdict for committing rape in the third degree. However, they have failed to come to an agreement on the third charge of predatory sexual assault related to a second victim, which they've declared a deadlock on. This third charge carries a longer sentence if convicted. Meanwhile, the general news, politics, and crime-and-justice spheres are closely following this high-profile case, with Weinstein being a central figure in the MeToo movement.
