Weinstein sex-crimes trial jury starts deliberating

Description

New York, Feb 18 (EFE / EPA).-The jury in former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's rape and sexual-assault trial in New York began deliberating Tuesday morning after hearing instructions from State Supreme Court Judge James Burke.Those deliberations come toward the end of weeks-long trial featuring sometimes-graphic testimony by several women who said they were sexually assaulted by Weinstein, who is now aged 67 and did not take the stand.Burke reviewed the charges with the jurors: two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of criminal sexual act and two counts of rape (in the first and third degrees).He also reminded them that they can only convict Weinstein on any of those charges if they unanimously find that the prosecution has proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
