Overview

• A motion filed on Oct. 7 asks the court to set aside Harvey Weinstein’s June conviction for a criminal sexual act against Miriam Haley on grounds of juror misconduct.
• Two sworn juror affidavits describe threats, harassment and pressure in the jury room, with one juror saying they changed their vote out of fear for personal safety.
• Judge Curtis Farber previously questioned concerned jurors during trial, found no misconduct and denied mistrial requests, and he will decide the motion by Dec. 22.
• Prosecutors say they will retry the unresolved rape charge involving Jessica Mann after a mistrial when the foreperson refused to continue deliberations.
• Weinstein still awaits sentencing on the New York conviction, which carries a potential term of up to 25 years, and his defense seeks an evidentiary hearing on the alleged misconduct.
