Harvey Weinstein’s ongoing Manhattan rape retrial is temporarily interrupted after he reports chest pains during a day when jurors are deliberating. Multiple reports say Weinstein complains of chest pain in court shortly after the jury begins deliberations in his third Manhattan sex crimes trial. As a result, the court sends jurors home early and the proceedings are halted on Wednesday. Weinstein is then described as returning to court the following day, and jurors resume deliberations in the retrial on Thursday.
The accounts agree on the basic sequence: the trial is in the deliberation stage, Weinstein reports feeling ill with chest pains while proceedings are underway, and the jury’s work is paused. The reports do not provide consistent details beyond the timing and the fact of his reported symptoms, and they do not attribute further medical diagnoses in the material provided. The jury continues deliberations after Weinstein returns to court.
