Weinstein’s health is fading in prison
Jurors have been deliberating for the last two days.
We have been following here on TGP the retrial in New York of former Hollywood power player – and alleged serial rapist – Harvey Weinstein.
Again? Yes. Weinstein was convicted in California in 2022 for three sex crimes, committed in 2013, against an unidentified Italian model and actress: Forcible rape, Forcible oral copulation, and Sexual penetration by a foreign object. For the crimes in this California trial, he was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

Weinstein faces a THIRD New York trial on the rape charge involving hairstylist and actress Jessica Mann.
His original 2020 conviction was overturned by New York’s highest court in 2024 due to improper admission of testimony from uncharged accusers, which would have prejudiced the jury.
So, Weinstein had a 2025 retrial, in which prosecutors charged him with crimes against three women: the jury convicted him of one criminal sexual act count (involving Mimi Haley), acquitted him on another (involving Kaja Sokola), but was deadlocked on the Jessica Mann rape charge — leading to a mistrial.
Prosecutors chose to retry the unresolved Mann count alone, in a high-profile trial that started in mid-April.
Yesterday, the arguments of the prosecution and the defense wrapped up, and the jury was sent to deliberate.

Associated Press reported:
“Harvey Weinstein started feeling chest pains in a courthouse Wednesday as jurors deliberated in the former movie mogul’s closely watched rape retrial, his lawyers said, prompting the judge to end the first day of deliberations early.
Weinstein, 74, has myriad health problems, including cancer and a history of heart trouble, and he uses a wheelchair. He has been behind bars since 2020 and told a court in January that his ‘health is deteriorating’ in New York’s infamously troubled Rikers Island jail.”
Weinstein accuser, Jessica Mann
“Jurors weren’t in the room at the time. They were about four hours into their closed-door discussions, and they had just sent a note asking to rehear part of accuser Jessica Mann’s testimony — a brief portion in which she said she was “spacing out” during cross-examination — and to review a lengthy prosecution timeline of emails and other evidence.
Judge Curtis Farber ultimately told jurors only that there were ‘unforeseen reasons’ for sending them home a bit earlier than planned. Prosecutors and Weinstein’s lawyers had left the courtroom so jurors would be less likely to speculate about Weinstein’s absence.”
