Jurors in Harvey Weinstein's trial asked the judge Friday if they can be hung on some counts but unanimous on others
The jury asked if they could fail to reach a unanimous verdict on Count 1 and/or Count 3 while agreeing on other counts. Count 1 is predatory sexual assault related to Miriam Haley and Annabella Sciorra. Count 3 is predatory sexual assault related to Jessica Mann and Sciorra. Predatory sexual assault is punishable by up to life in prison.The judge told the jurors to continue deliberating on those charges and said that any verdict they return must be unanimous.
Some of the charges are structured as either/or counts, so Weinstein can only be convicted of two charges at most -- one based on Mann's allegations and one based on Haley's.Four other women, including"Sopranos" actress Sciorra, also testified that Weinstein sexually attacked them as prosecutors sought to show that he used his power in the movie industry to prey on young, inexperienced women.
