On Tuesday morning, the 29th day of Harvey Weinstein's New York criminal trial, the 12 men and women of the jury formally began deliberations to decide his fate.
After the juror was brought before the court to answer his questions, Judge James Burke denied the defense motion and ruled that she remain on the panel. "Each of you must decide the case yourself," he said. "You should not surrender an honest view of the evidence simply because you want the trial to end or are outvoted."
Their testimony, he said, can only be considered on the issue of "forcible compulsion and lack of consent," but not to prove that Weinstein has a "propensity" to commit such crimes.
