In the New York retrial of Harvey Weinstein, jurors faced significant turmoil during deliberations, prompting the judge to order a break due to heated arguments and threats. The jurors' conflict raised concerns about fairness in the trial, highlighted by a juror's claim of being pressured to change his opinion. Weinstein expressed his distress regarding the jury's infighting, emphasizing that the situation jeopardized his right to a fair trial as he faced serious criminal charges.
The jurors who decided Harvey Weinstein's fate in his New York retrial were ordered to take a break and cool down earlier on Wednesday, as their discussions seemingly broke down amid shouting and threats.
This pause came only hours before the verdict on Wednesday, when the jury's foreman asked to speak to the judge, Justice Curtis Farber, and was taken into a backroom where he told the judge and the lawyers his concerns.
