Burke told them it is common for juries to have difficulty reaching a unanimous verdict, but that most are eventually able to do so.The jury later broke for the weekend and is expected to continue deliberating on Monday.
Weinstein has been charged with raping Jessica Mann, a onetime aspiring actress, and sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi. He denies the charges. Jurors can convict Weinstein of predatory sexual assault if they find that he committed the assault against Sciorra and at least one of the alleged crimes against Haleyi or Mann.
