The jury sent its first note less than an hour into deliberations
Photo: Kena Betancur/Getty Images The jury in Harvey Weinstein’s Manhattan rape and sexual-assault trial asked for clarification Tuesday afternoon on legal terms in the charges he’s facing, as well as on questions involving accuser Annabella Sciorra.
Weinstein faces one count of rape in the first degree and one count of rape in the third degree for allegedly raping former actress Jessica Mann at a Midtown East hotel in 2013. Weinstein is not facing a rape charge for the alleged attack on Sciorra; the statute of limitations prevents prosecutors from pursuing one. However, the Sopranos actress’s rape allegation can be used in the predatory-sexual-assault counts to strengthen the prosecutors’ case that Weinstein has a proclivity toward predatory behavior.
In response to the jurors’ note, Burke told them they can’t find Weinstein guilty of predatory sexual assault based only on Sciorra’s allegation; they would have to base their findings on Haleyi’s and/or Mann’s allegations as well. Burke told the jurors he couldn’t give them definitions in writing. “Red flags” were persons of particular interest to Weinstein — people who might have damaging info — in the months before the allegations of misconduct surfaced, prosecutors had previously said.
