Harvey Weinstein’s third New York rape trial has ended with a deadlocked jury and a state judge declaring a mistrial.

The decision by a clearly frustrated Judge Curtis Farber came following just three days of deliberations by the jury.

Earlier Friday, the jurors came out from behind closed doors to tell the judge they couldn’t reach a verdict on the much accused and much previously convicted King’s Speech producer. Seeking a call on the third-degree rape charge, Judge Faber cautioned they spend more time on the matter. That clock ran out about 30 minutes ago and, with a request from Weinstein’s side, Faber pulled the plug.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office have a month to notify the court if they want to go for a fourth trial on Weinstein’s alleged assault of Jessica Mann.

After the mistrial was called, DA Alvin Bragg’s team said: We will consider our next steps in consultation with Ms. Mann, and in consideration of Harvey Weinstein’s pending sentencing following last year’s trial conviction for forcibly sexually assaulting Miriam Haley.”

Always insisting on his innocence on the Mann accusations and every other one, Weinstein was found guilty in 2020 of raping the actress, but that conviction was overturned by a higher court in 2024. A bitterly fought retrial last year ended in a mixed verdict.  That June 2025 decision found the seven-woman, five-man jury nailing Weinstein as guilty of a first-degree criminal sexual act against Miriam Haley, not guilty of the same act against Kaja Sokola and unable to make a call on Mann.

Between those trials, the 74-year-old and openly ailing Oscar winner who has spent almost six years in prison already, was also found guilty of sex crimes in a Los Angeles trial in 2022. – which is currently under appeal on the West Coast.

“The defense team of Marc Agnifilo, Teny Geragos, and Jacob Kaplan put on a powerful case,” reps for Harvey Weinstein said Friday of the lawyers (some of whom served Sean “Diddy” Combs in his semi-successful sex trafficking trial). “After hearing the evidence multiple times and seeing two juries unable to reach unanimity, it’s clear there is significant reasonable doubt here.” With their client likely soon heading from his temporary home at Rikers Island to a prison upstate, Weinstein’s PR added: “The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office should stop retrying the same case and focus its time and resources on the actual violent crime, chaos, and public safety issues impacting New Yorkers every day.”

We will know in June if the DA’s taking Weinstein’s advice.
