Weinstein case judge declares mistrial on remaining rape charge amid jury issues
Deliberations ended on Thursday, a day after the jury delivered a partial verdict in Weinstein's sex crimes retrial. The jury foreperson said he would not continue deliberating after claiming he was bullied by another juror (Elizabeth Williams via AP) The jury got stuck on a third charge – a rape accusation dating to 2013. The foreperson complained on Wednesday that he felt bullied by another juror and said on Thursday he would not go back into the jury room. The panel convicted the former studio boss of one charge but acquitted him of another. Both of those charges concerned accusations of forcing oral sex on women in 2006. Those verdicts still stand. The jury of seven women and five men unanimously reached those decisions last Friday, the foreperson later told the judge. The verdict was delivered on Wednesday only because Judge Curtis Farber asked whether there was agreement on any of the charges. The third charge was a rape accusation involving a woman who also said she had a consensual relationship with the Oscar-winning producer. Under New York law, the third-degree rape charge carries a lesser penalty than the other two counts. Weinstein denies all the charges. In an unusual exchange with the judge, Harvey Weinstein told him the judge was 'endangering' him, saying 'I can't be judged by a situation that's going on like this' (Elizabeth Williams via AP) In an unusual exchange with the judge during some legal arguments before the partial verdict was disclosed on Wednesday, Weinstein insisted it was unfair to continue the trial after two jurors came forward with concerns about the proceedings. 'I can't be judged by a situation that's going on like this,' said Weinstein, 73, claiming the judge was 'endangering' him. Jury-room strains started leaking into public view on Friday when a juror asked to be excused because he felt another was being treated unfairly. Then on Monday, the foreperson complained that other jurors were pushing people to change their minds and talking about information beyond the charges. The man raised concerns again on Wednesday. In a closed-door discussion with prosecutors, defence lawyers and the judge, the foreperson said another juror was yelling at him for sticking to his opinion and at one point vowed, 'You going to see me outside.' 'I feel afraid inside there,' the foreperson told the judge and lawyers, according to a transcript. Weinstein's initial conviction five years ago seemed to cement the downfall of one of Hollywood's most powerful men in a pivotal moment for the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct. Harvey Weinstein was convicted of one charge, was acquitted of another and a mistrial ruled on the third (Jefferson Siegel /The New York Times via AP, Pool) But that conviction was overturned last year and the case was sent back for retrial in the same Manhattan courthouse. Weinstein's accusers said he exploited his Tinseltown influence to dangle career help, get them alone and then trap and force them into sexual encounters. His defence portrayed his accusers as Hollywood wannabes and hangers-on who willingly hooked up with him to court opportunity, then later said they were victimised to collect settlement funds and #MeToo approbation. Miriam Haley, the producer and production assistant whom Weinstein was convicted – twice, now – of sexually assaulting, said outside court on Wednesday that the new verdict 'gives me hope'. Accuser Kaja Sokola also called it 'a big win for everyone,' even though Weinstein was acquitted of forcibly performing oral sex on her when she was a 19-year-old fashion model. Her allegation was added to the case after the retrial was ordered. Weinstein also was convicted of raping another woman in California. He is appealing that conviction. The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted, unless they agree to be identified. Ms Haley and Ms Sokola did so.

Dele Alli heartbreak as footballer splits from model after making comeback
Former Everton midfielder Dele Alli has split up from his partner Cindy Kimberly after three years together, with the model having confirmed their break-up this week Footballer Dele Alli has split up from his partner Cindy Kimberly after three years together. The former Premier League player had been supported by the model earlier this year but it's now been revealed that they have separated. Dele, now 29, who currently plays for Serie A team Como 1907, and Cindy, now 26, went public with their romance in 2022. It's now been announced by the model that she's no longer in a relationship with the former Everton midfielder. There had been speculation that they had split up after it was noticed that she wasn't following Dele on Instagram. Cindy - who has modelled for magazines like Playboy - is also said to have removed photos of him from her page. Dele however continues to follow her on the platform. Cindy also still features in some posts on his account, including on celebrating his signing with his current football team in January, following his two year absence from the pitch. The outlet Glam Set & Match (GSM) speculated in a post yesterday that their relationship looked to be "headed for the rocks" after three years. Cindy reacted in the comments section, with her confirming that they have broken up. She announced that herself and Dele haven't been together "for a little while". Addressing rumours about their romance, she wrote in the comments section of the post this morning: "We've been broken up for a little while already." Although she appears to have removed photos of Dele from her own page, Cindy has kept up a post of herself seemingly sat in the stands at one of his games in Como, Italy, in March. She had been spotted there with him at the time. She's since been seen supporting Dele's team too. More recently, Cindy was seen in the crowd at a match between Como and Torino at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on April 13, just two months before the news of their break-up. Dele - who played for Tottenham Hotspur and England earlier in his career - signed with Como in January. It was announced at the time that he was on an 18-month contract, but with an option to extend that for an additional 12 months. Head Coach Cesc Fàbregas shared his thoughts on the signing: "The club believes in Dele's potential and is committed to helping him rediscover his best form. His experience and leadership qualities will undoubtedly benefit the squad." The signing came after two year absence from the pitch for Dele, which came following an injury in 2023. It was suggested in February that there was no rush to get the footballer back playing competitive games in the season. Dele, who's spoken about challenges he's faced in his life off the pitch, made his comeback in March but, as reported at the time, he was sent off after 10 minutes when he received a red card. He later posted on Instagram: "2 years! Not necessarily how I planned it, but we keep moving." It's been reported that he hasn't made another appearance for the club since then.
