A week into jury deliberations on Harvey Weinstein's New York rape retrial, the proceedings appear to be descending into chaos.

But prosecutors are hoping the third time’s the charm, with yet another trial potentially starting in the fall.

Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial case ended in disarray on Thursday as the jury foreperson refused to deliberate and the judge declared a mistrial on a remaining rape allegation. The ruling came a day after a split verdict on other charges in the landmark #MeToo-era case and now sets up the former studio boss for a third trial in New York.
