Harvey Weinstein will not be retried on counts that deadlocked LA jury

Jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict on charges brought by Jennifer Siebel Newsom and Lauren Young

Los Angeles prosecutors told a judge on Tuesday that they will not retry Harvey Weinstein, who was convicted of the rape and sexual assault of one woman, on counts involving two others that left jurors deadlocked.

The deputy district attorney Paul Thompson announced the decision to superior court judge Lisa B Lench at a hearing in downtown Los Angeles. The judge granted a defense motion to dismiss the charges and said Weinstein would be returned to New York, where he was convicted in a similar case.
