A judge declared a mistrial Friday in Harvey Weinstein's New York rape trial after jurors deadlocked on the charge that he raped an aspiring actress in a Manhattan hotel in 2013. The proceeding was Weinstein's third trial on that 2013 accusation and marks the second time a jury has been unable to reach a verdict on that charge. The mistrial leaves prosecutors to decide whether to retry Weinstein, prolongs legal uncertainty for the accuser, and leaves the criminal outcome unresolved.
