Harvey Weinstein says jurors were bullied into convicting him. A judge is set to rule
Harvey Weinstein is returning to a New York court. A judge is due to rule Thursday on the former movie mogul’s bid to get his latest sex crime conviction thrown out. Weinstein’s lawyers argue that the judge mishandled anger and apprehensions that flared among jurors during deliberations last spring. Prosecutors contend that the judge addressed the matter appropriately and that the criminal sex act conviction should stand. At the same trial last year, Weinstein was acquitted of another criminal sex act charge, and the jury didn’t decide on a rape charge. He denies all the charges.
