The New York jury deciding whether to convict disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein of sex crimes appears divided, with some jurors reportedly launching verbal attacks against each other and also considering information not brought up in the recent retrial.
Five male and seven female jurors have deliberated for three days over whether to find Weinstein guilty of rape and criminal sex acts. His 2020 conviction was thrown out last year.
Monday morning in court began with a note from the foreperson that read: "I need to talk to you about a situation which isn't very good."
Weinstein's lawyers then filed for a mistrial, which the judge denied, and details emerged about the unfolding drama.
After discussions with attorneys on Monday, Judge Curtis Farber later called the jury's foreperson back to the court's robing room to discuss the issue.
