Judge Declares Mistrial on Smaller Weinstein Charge After Conviction on Sexual Assault
Squabbling jurors couldn't reach a consensus on the remaining rape charge against Harvey Weinstein in his sex crimes retrial, a day after convicting him on a more serious sexual-assault charge.
Jurors reported that yelling and arguing had derailed the proceedings. One juror asked to be dismissed because of what he described as 'playground stuff' in the deliberation room. The foreman told the judge he was too afraid to go back in the room after another juror threatened a fight.

Senator Padilla Puts on a Show
Senator Alex Padilla found out the hard way what happens when you attempt to shove your way into an official DHS press conference. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. Another day, another unhinged Democrat turning up the performance meter for attention AND all for the benefit of illegal aliens, but mostly for the spotlight. Thursday it was California Senator Alex Padilla. According to DHS, he attempted a takeover of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's LIVE press conference, refused to obey the officers' repeated commands that he back away and then, just as he planned, was then forcibly removed from the room. Had he not forced himself into Secretary Noem's personal space, had he identified himself and acted like a dignified human being, let alone US Senator, he wouldn't have been handled in the manner he was. But we all know this was his intention. He wanted his own 'moment.' And now, like coordinated clockwork, Democrats are decrying his treatment and insisting it could happen to you. Well true, if you force your way into a presser and lunge towards the DHS Secretary you can bet it will happen to you!
