Weinstein juror laments 'the way things went' for Annabella Sciorra

Weinstein juror.

A juror in the Harvey Weinstein trial is speaking out, saying that despite his predatory sexual assault acquittal, much of the jury found Annabella Sciorra's testimony convincing.

Weinstein on Monday was convicted on two charges in his New York rape trial that could land him up to 29 years behind bars, but he was acquitted on the two most serious charges of predatory sexual assault. Sciorra, who alleges Weinstein raped her in 1993 or 1994, testified in support of these charges, and a predatory sexual assault conviction could have gotten Weinstein up to a life sentence.
