Photo: ReutersThe jury in former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's rape trial has begun deliberations on charges that could send him to prison for life, in a case that has become a milestone for the #MeToo movement. “I would caution you about the tentacles of your public relations juggernaut," Justice James Burke told Rotunno. "This is an op-ed about the jury system as a whole, about the criminal justice system as a whole," she said. Haleyi testified during the trial that Weinstein forced oral sex on her in his home in 2006. Mann testified that Weinstein raped her in a Manhattan hotel room early in what she called an "extremely degrading" relationship with him.
