Six years ago, Jessica Mann took the stand for the first time in a New York City courtroom to publicly detail allegations that Harvey Weinstein raped her in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013.
That trial resulted in Weinstein being convicted of raping Mann, as well as committing a criminal sex act against a former production assistant. But four years later, the New York Court of Appeals overturned both convictions, ruling that the judge in the initial trial improperly allowed testimony that may have unfairly influenced the jury. The charges then had to be tried again with a new jury. In the second trial, the jury reconvicted Weinstein of the criminal sex act charge, but they could not reach a verdict on whether Weinstein raped Mann.
