Weinstein trial jurors to resume deliberations after his lawyer came under fire

NEW YORK - The jury in former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial is expected to continue deliberations on Wednesday, a day after the presiding judge took the former Hollywood producer’s lead defense lawyer to task for writing an opinion piece about the case.

The Manhattan jury of seven men and five women began their discussions on Tuesday morning after receiving legal instructions from state Justice James Burke. Before jury deliberations began, Burke told Weinstein’s lead lawyer, Donna Rotunno, that she must not speak to the press until a verdict had been reached.The warning came two days after Rotunno wrote the opinion piece about the case in Newsweek magazine titled “Jurors in my client Harvey Weinstein’s case must look past the headlines.”Jurors sent two notes to the judge on Tuesday.

The list included Annabella Sciorra, who testified that Weinstein entered her New York apartment one winter night in 1993 or 1994 and raped her. The accusation is too old to be charged as a separate crime, but it could act as an aggravating factor to support a predatory sexual assault charge, which carries a potential life sentence.
