Statement From D.A. Bragg On The Harvey Weinstein Mistrial

While we are disappointed that the proceedings ended with a mistrial, we deeply respect the jury system and sincerely thank all of the jurors for their time and dedication.

For nearly a decade, Jessica Mann has fought for justice. Over the course of many weeks during three separate trials, she relived unthinkably painful experiences in front of complete strangers. Her perseverance and bravery are inspiring to the members of my office, and more importantly, to survivors everywhere.

We will consider our next steps in consultation with Ms. Mann, and in consideration of Harvey Weinstein's pending sentencing following last year's trial conviction for forcibly sexually assaulting Miriam Haley.

As always, we will continue to prosecute crimes of sexual violence - no matter who the defendant is - in a survivor-centered manner that uplifts their voices in the pursuit of justice.
