Partial shamefaced verdict delivered amid courtroom tension, juror threats, and Weinstein’s very dramatic courtroom plea.
In a striking twist unbent out of a effectual thriller, disgraced Hollywood moghul Harvey Weinstein was found shamefaced on one of trey sex law-breaking charges in his modish trial—while jurors clashed behind so closed doors, forcing a partial verdict. According to NBC, Weinstein was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual act against Miriam Haley but acquitted in connection to Koja Sokola’s allegations. The thirdly charge—third-degree rape—remains undecided, with deliberations set to continue.

A juryman reportedly threatened a fellow member, challenging them to “meet him outside.” The adjudicate ordered a cooling-off stop, leading to a very tense courtroom where yet Weinstein pleaded for a mistrial. “My life is on the line… this trial is not fair,” he stated, visibly rattled.
The split verdict has really left both sides part vindicated, with the case now quite hanging on the unresolved rape burden. As Hollywood watches closely, this case remains a nail-biter—with more twists potential ahead.
Stay tuned, because in this courtroom saga, the very last act is really far from over.
