After four days of deliberating, jurors in the Harvey Weinstein trial have yet to return a verdict and are recessed for the weekend.
Harvey Weinstein arrives at Manhattan criminal court house as a jury continues with deliberations on Feb. 21, 2020 in New York City. Weinstein, a movie producer whose alleged sexual misconduct helped spark the #MeToo movement, pleaded not-guilty on five counts of rape and sexual assault against two unnamed women and faces a possible life sentence in prison.
"I think the logical conclusion, assuming [the jurors] are talking about counts one and three, is they have guilty verdicts on two, four and five, and some compromise is being struck," said Ryan, now with the Philadelphia-based firm Laffey, Bucci & Kent, LLP.He called the prosecution's refusal to accept a partial verdict a"smart move."
For attorney Lara Yeretsian, the jury's question about a partial verdict may indicate it's deadlocked on the two charges of predatory sexual assault, which could be good news for the defense. "This is a good sign for Weinstein," she added,"because it means the jury can't agree on the most serious charges, the ones that could be a life sentence. It also means they're not unanimous on at least one of the accusers or possibly both of them.
