"HUNG JURY" IN WEINSTEIN CASE--SO TO SPEAK (FOX)NEW YORK — The jury deliberating in Harvey Weinstein's rape trial indicated Friday that it is deadlocked on the most serious charges.
In a note sent to the judge during their lunch break, jurors posed a question asking if it were permissible for them to be hung on two counts of predatory sexual assault while reaching a unanimous verdict on other charges.
After consulting with prosecutors and Weinstein's lawyers, Judge James Burke told the jury of seven men and five women to keep working toward a unanimous verdict on all charges.
Weinstein's lawyers said they would accept a partial verdict, but prosecutors said no and Burke refused to do so.
The New York Times reports that deliberations in the case will continue on Monday. --GRA

Reynhardt? Whee did that guy get that name from. And if he is sent back to Indonesia they will kill him. Maybe that is not such a bad thing.
