Weinstein jury pores over accuser's emails during deliberations

Jurors in Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial appeared to be focusing on one of his three accusers as deliberations stretched into a fourth day Tuesday, with no further sign of interpersonal tensions that flared earlier. In addition to the rape charge, he's accused of sexually assaulting two other women, Mimi Haley and Kaja Sokola.Weinstein didn't testify during the current trial, but maintained through his attorneys that he had completely consensual encounters with his accusers, who wanted his help building show business careers.Weinstein was one of the movie industry's most powerful figures until a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him became public in 2017, fueling the #MeToo movement and eventually leading to criminal charges.The jury is made up of seven women and five men. Trial evidence has included some testimony about allegations outside the scope of the current charges, such as mentions of the groundswell of claims against the ex-studio boss in 2017.Yet another juror soon asked to speak to the court, where she opined that things were "going well."
