The judge in Harvey Weinstein's sex crime case declared a mistrial Friday on a third-degree rape charge involving actress Jessica Mann, after the foreperson said they could not return to deliberations with their fellow jurors. The declaration comes one day after Weinstein, 73, was found guilty of forcing oral sex on former TV production assistant Miriam Haley, 48, at his New York City apartment in 2006 and not guilty on a second charge that alleged he forcibly performed oral sex on former model Kaja Sokola, now 39, when she was 19 years old. On Thursday, the foreperson refused to return to the deliberation room with the other 11 jurors, leading Farber to declare a mistrial, the New York Times reported.
