The jurors are considering charges that could send the former film mogul to prison for the rest of his life.
Weinstein, 67, has pleaded not guilty in the case and denies any allegations of nonconsensual sex. He appeared visibly frustrated just after 3 p.m. ET, when the jury requested copies of certain exhibits from the trial.
The jury had previously sent a note to the judge asking for the legal meaning of terms such as forcible compulsion. In all, more than 80 women have accused the Oscar-winning producer behind"Pulp Fiction" and"The King's Speech" of sexual assault and harassment going back decades. The trial centered on graphic and, at times, emotional testimony from Haley and Mann, who each recounted that Weinstein lured them with promises to help their careers and forced himself on them as they tried to fight back.
The defense, for its part, attempted to portray the accusers as consenting participants in sexual activity. Weinstein's lawyers zeroed in on email correspondence after the alleged assaults that they described as friendly or"loving," and otherwise suggested the alleged sexual activity was transactional.
