Jurors in the Harvey Weinstein case asked the judge whether they could be hung on two counts of predatory sexual assault

On day four of deliberations, the 12 jurors asked Judge James Burke whether they could be hung on one or both of the top counts but unanimous on the other three.

The jury is considering five counts against the fallen film producer: two of predatory sexual assault, two of rape and one of engaging in a criminal sexual act. Today, the jurors submitted a written question to Judge Burke asking whether they could be hung on the predatory sexual assault charges, but reach decisions on rape and the criminal sexual act.

To convict on predatory sexual assault, they must believe one or both of the women plus "The Sopranos" actress Annabella Sciorra, who says Weinstein raped her in the 1990s.
