A juror in Harvey Weinstein's Manhattan retrial on sex crime charges has brought concerns to the judge regarding the behavior of other jurors during deliberations. According to the juror, one member of the panel has become the target of what they described as a "bit of a shunning." The juror characterized the situation as "playground stuff," suggesting immature or exclusionary behavior.
The judge addressed the jury following the complaint, although the specific details of the judge's instructions were not immediately available. It is unclear what prompted the alleged shunning or how it might be affecting the jury's ability to reach a fair and impartial verdict. The retrial centers on accusations of sexual assault and rape against Weinstein. The jury must carefully consider the evidence presented and apply the law to the facts to determine Weinstein's guilt or innocence. The deliberations are ongoing, and the outcome of the retrial remains uncertain.
