A highly anticipated trial in the long-running saga of former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has ended in a mistrial, leaving many questions unanswered about the disgraced producer's fate. Weinstein, who has been accused of numerous instances of sexual misconduct, is facing a third rape trial in New York after his previous convictions were overturned on appeal. The latest trial, which began in January, centered on allegations of rape and assault against two women, with prosecutors presenting a wealth of evidence against the 71-year-old defendant. Now, with the mistrial declared, it remains to be seen whether Weinstein will face a fourth trial or if his lawyers will push for a dismissal of the charges.
