Weinstein trial declared null as jury deadlocks again

A third trial against Harvey Weinstein has been declared null after the jury failed to reach a verdict, marking another setback in prosecutions against the former film producer who became a focal point of the #MeToo movement.

The trial concerned allegations of rape against an aspiring actress. Last year, a jury also deadlocked on the same case. Weinstein faces other legal proceedings, but the repeated inability to secure convictions on this specific charge underscores the challenges prosecutors face in securing guilty verdicts in high-profile sexual assault cases.
