2. SOUNDBITE (English) Arthur Aidala, One of Harvey Weinstein’s attorneys:
"So this is not over. However, however, Mr. Weinstein started out with a 23 year prison term when we left here on March 11th of 2000, those numbers are now out the window. Of course, Mr. Weinstein’s disappointed. He has maintained his innocence from the day I met him in 2019. In 2020, when I sat next to him, when the verdict came in of guilty on Mimi, he said to me, how could this happen? I’m innocent. I’m innocent. He basically said the same thing yesterday to Mr. Sabella, who sat next to him."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Arthur Aidala, One of Harvey Weinstein’s attorneys:
"Today I would use the word exhaustion about Mr. Weinstein. I can tell you, for this team who I absolutely love and adore our emotional roller coaster ride over the last two months. But we all knew we were going home to our families. This was his life. This is the first death penalty case I’ve ever tried because Mr. Weinstein is 73 years old, and if he got convicted of everything here, there would be a substantial sentence and he would die in prison. So that’s why I missed everything. And we all did, everything in our personal lives and invested everything in this case over the last three months. But for Mr. Weinstein, it is his life."

STORYLINE:
Attorney for Harvey Weinstein says his client’s fight is not over after a judge declares mistrial on remaining rape charge as jury foreperson won’t deliberate.
This after Weinstein’s New York sex crimes retrial has come to a disjointed end.
The jury foreperson declined to deliberate Thursday, and the judge declared a mistrial on a remaining rape charge.
The case has been seen as a bellwether of the #MeToo era.
On Wednesday Weinstein was convicted of one of the top charges but acquitted of another. Both concerned accusations of forcing oral sex on women in 2006.
Those verdicts still stand.
The ex-studio boss faces a third New York trial on the rape count and a new sentencing on his sexual assault conviction.
Weinstein denies all the charges.
