Jury in Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial is set to resume deliberations
The jury in Harvey Weinstein 's New York sex crimes retrial is set to resume deliberations Monday, after two days without reaching a verdict the prior week. The panel of seven women and five men on Thursday began weighing two counts of criminal sex act and one count of rape against the former movie mogul. Weinstein, 73, has pleaded not guilty. On Friday, one juror asked to be removed from the case, saying he felt other jurors were treating one member of the panel in an 'unfair and unjust' way. The judge told him he had to keep deliberating and also denied a defense request for a mistrial over the issue. Weinstein was originally found guilty in New York in 2020 of rape and sexual assault against two women in a verdict considered a landmark in the #MeToo movement. But the conviction was subsequently overturned, leading to his retrial — with an additional accuser added last year — before a new jury and a different judge. Weinstein was also convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape.

Denver man found not guilty in Tesla charging station shooting
Jurors on Wednesday found a man accused of shooting and killing another Tesla driver at a supercharger station in Edgewater not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. Jeremy Alan Smith was arrested in December 2023 on suspicion of killing Adam Fresquez after an apparent road rage-fueled confrontation on May 3, 2023. Police said the shooting happened at the Edgewater Public Market at the 5500 block of West 20th Avenue. Authorities said both men were driving Teslas and that surveillance video showed both vehicles pulled up to the Tesla supercharger station in the parking lot of the Shake Shack at approximately the same time. According to court documents, Smith allegedly then maced Fresquez, who walked toward his vehicle and shot him twice in the back. Edgewater police investigators said Smith called 911 after pulling out and driving off afterward. Fresquez was rushed to the hospital, where he died a short time later.
