After failing to reach a verdict over a span of nine&nbsp;days, the jurors in Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault trial&nbsp;will resume deliberations next week on Monday.&nbsp;The deliberations began on December 2 and till now, the 12-person jury has since discussed the case for about 37 hours in total.

On Wednesday, the jurors asked to have a few testimonies read back to them, indicating that they are still sifting through the witnesses' allegations. Since the courtroom will be closed on Thursday and Friday, the testimonies are expected to be read on&nbsp;Monday.

Through the course of the deliberations, the jury asked one question. Judge Lisa B. Lench, however, has opted not to reveal the question&nbsp;to the media. It's difficult to decipher why the jury is taking so long to deliver the verdict since not a lot of information is out in public.&nbsp;

"The court is aware that there have been inquiries from the press regarding the contents of juror questions sent to the court," the judge said in a minute order Wednesday. "The contents of the communications reveal the deliberative process of the currently-deliberating jury. As such, the court believes it would be inappropriate to release to the press the contents of the communications prior to the discharge of the jury as it would impinge on the deliberative processes of the jury."

In addition to the 23-year sentence he is already serving on his conviction in New York, Weinstein is facing seven charges of sexual assault, stemming from four victims. If found guilty, he could face up to 60 years to life in prison.

The 12-person jury, who&nbsp;is made up of three women &amp; nine men, must reach a unanimous decision on each of the seven charges to indict Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein rape trial: LA jury breaks until next week after nine days of deliberation

Jurors at the Los Angeles rape and sexual misconduct trial of Hollywood's disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein have not reached a verdict yet. They started deliberating on December 2. The trial has now entered its second week of deliberations.

Jury members were approaching nearly 30 hours of deliberations when they left the courthouse on Monday. They are due back at 9.30 AM on Tuesday.

The 12-person jury, which is made up of eight men and four women, is tasked to deliberate&nbsp;on seven charges stemming from four accusers, including five counts of sexual assault and two counts of rape. They will have to assess a hefty amount of evidence, including testimony from 50 witnesses.&nbsp;The jurors must reach a unanimous decision on each of the counts.

It's hard to say why the jury is taking so much time to deliberate or what they might be stuck on as they have not submitted any questions or notes to the judge, at least, in the presence of the media.&nbsp;

If convicted and found guilty, Weinstein could face up to 60 years to life in prison, in addition to&nbsp;the 23-year sentence he is already serving for a conviction in New York for rape and sexual assault against two women.

Weinstein was extradited to Los Angeles in 2021. Since then he has been held in a medical unit of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

Harvey Weinstein sexual assault trial: LA jury deliberates for the second week, no verdict yet

A woman who has accused Harvey Weinstein of rape broke down in tears after the former movie producer's attorney grilled her in a cross-examination. The woman has accused Weinstein or raping her in 2013. She is the first among eight women who are testifying against the movie mogul. Weinstein, who is already serving a 23-year imprisonment in the New York trial, is facing charges like rape and sexual battery in Los Angeles. The woman, who is a Rome-based model and actor, had earlier said in her testimony that Weinstein sexually assaulted her in her hotel room. He allegedly forced her to perform oral sex. Now Alan Jackson, Weinstein's attorney, asked her whether she has any physical evidence that proves Weinstein's actions.

He asked her, “You don’t have any physical evidence to present to this jury that any of this happened, do you?” To this, the woman replied in negative. "Any photos," Jackson added. "No", she answered. Then Jackson asked whether she has any video. No, the woman answered, and added, “Do you think somebody after rape makes a video?”

She then broke down as she said no to a series of questions asking whether she had any marks on her body like bruises that might validate her accusations.

Jackson then added, "Do you have any physical evidence that you were even with Mr Weinstein?” To that the woman replied she had a jacket but she gave it away.

On the first day of the trial, as well, the woman had broken down while recounting the alleged incident and her testimony continued on Tuesday. She said she was staying in a hotel under a pseudonym and was surprised to find Weinstein knocked on her doors. She didn't think much of it, but then Weinstein began to get sexually aggressive.&nbsp;

"I was feeling guilty that I did something or said something that made him think something could happen between us,” the woman testified.

Earlier, in order to discredit in advance the women who are going to testify against Weinstein, his defence argued women's testimonies should not be taken seriously as they are actresses who will play a role in the witness stand and spout a "firehose of false and unprovable allegations”. And the job, he said, will be to fit the narrative of the #MeToo movement.

Weinstein's downfall began in 2017 when in exposés in New Yorker and the New York Times several women came forward to accuse him of rape, sexual assault and sexual misconduct. His defence has argued that every sexual act was consensual and was '"transactional".
