After hearing from 35 witnesses over more than two weeks of testimony, the New York City jury in Harvey Weinstein’s rape and sexual assault case began deliberating Tuesday morning. Manhattan Supreme Court Judge James Burke has also ordered Weinstein's defense team not to speak with the press. &

Within the first hour of deliberations, the Weinstein jury sent a note to the judge, asking for legal clarification of the charges the movie mogul faces.

That morning, Illuzzi complained to the judge about a different portion of that interview in which Rotunno was critical of the accusers, reminding Burke of his admonition at the start of the trial that the lawyers"leave the witnesses alone." The account of a third accuser, Annabella Sciorra, is too old to prosecute, but a judge allowed her to testify in support of two predatory sexual assault charges -- which require prosecutors to prove that Weinstein attacked at least three women.

Hast outlined the accounts of numerous witnesses allegedly overpowered by Weinstein who -- nervous, upset and confused -- sometimes gave up the physical struggle against him and simply stopped resisting. In some instances, the accusers returned to Weinstein time and time again, despite emotionally and physically devastating alleged sexual assaults.

Weinstein Juror Almost Kicked Off Trial for Reading My Dark VanessaLawyers for Harvey Weinstein wanted a juror in his rape and sexual assault trial dismissed, claiming she was “reviewing books on predatory older men” — including Kate Elizabeth Russell’s controversial debut novel My Dark Vanessa — during the proceedings Legitimate point. Fair enough. Yes, we all think he's guilty -- but he still deserves a fair trial as an American, just as all do - murderers, rapists, and thieves included. White male rapist thinks he can control what novels his female jurors read. Pathetic.
