The ruling followed a wild day in court on Wednesday, in which jurors in Manhattan convicted #HarveyWeinstein of a felony sex crime but were then sent home to cool off. The jury foreman had complained to the judge that deliberations had devolved into yelling & that he felt threatened by the other jurors.#law #rape #ViolenceAgainstWomen #SexualAssault #AbuseOfPower #BelieveSurvivors

On Wednesday, the panel of 7 women & 5 men announced a partial verdict, convicting #HarveyWeinstein on a single count of #criminal sexual act & acquitting him of another count of the same charge. They were unable to reach a consensus on a charge of third-degree #rape.On Thursday, the foreman said he was not willing to return to the jury room & continue deliberating with the 11 others.#law #ViolenceAgainstWomen #SexualAssault #AbuseOfPower #BelieveSurvivors

@Nonilex Seems as if the “one juror” ought to pay the cost of the trial. Also, were there no alternates?
