The jurors are considering charges that could send the former film mogul to prison for the rest of his life.

Weinstein, 67, has pleaded not guilty in the case and denies any allegations of nonconsensual sex. He appeared visibly frustrated just after 3 p.m. ET, when the jury requested copies of certain exhibits from the trial.

The jury had previously sent a note to the judge asking for the legal meaning of terms such as forcible compulsion. In all, more than 80 women have accused the Oscar-winning producer behind"Pulp Fiction" and"The King's Speech" of sexual assault and harassment going back decades. The trial centered on graphic and, at times, emotional testimony from Haley and Mann, who each recounted that Weinstein lured them with promises to help their careers and forced himself on them as they tried to fight back.

The defense, for its part, attempted to portray the accusers as consenting participants in sexual activity. Weinstein's lawyers zeroed in on email correspondence after the alleged assaults that they described as friendly or"loving," and otherwise suggested the alleged sexual activity was transactional.

Not usually a good sign.

Just put him in a room with his accusers. Weinstein

FRAUD! No one is buying it! Hang on... it’s gonna pardon you too!

I'm waiting for the Trump pardon on this one.

May he live long and miserably with years of suffering and no solace or respite whatsoever.

Is this true?

He’s absolutely going to walk. All the jury system requires is the defense to find the 12 dumbest people in a given geographic area and confuse them with legalese

Jurors when asked about his summary...

Good actor - Harvey Weinstein. Though metoo movement is a racist sham created by privileged White women as a blackmailing device few of the cases are genuine.

He’s absolutely going to walk. All the jury system requires is the defense to fine the 12 dumbest people in a given geographic area and confuse them with legalese

Let me guess: the pardon is already sitting on the DOJ’s desk

Dear Mr Trump. FREE HARVEY WEINSTEIN!!

I am dying

I got the scary feeling that Harvey’s gonna walk

Still using the walking frame prop, is he?

Playing that old helpless man card.

hes a dirtbag. sadly for many actors, sleeping your way into film will no longer be an option.

LockHimUp

He really has the 'better call Saul' look going on. Does he not?

Really? The man is guilty as fuck

What a fake injured man.

That’s not a good sign..

Half of Harvey's victims have praised and thanked him and called him God, the other half didn't get the role.

Guilty. Next...

Will Asshole pardon him too?

How the Fk is that possible?

They're wondering if Trump will pardon Weinstein.....
