Prosecutors announced on Tuesday that they will pursue a second trial against, after a jury deadlocked on three rape charges at the actor’s first trial in November.
Though they could not reach a verdict, the jurors leaned towards acquittal, with votes of 10-2, 8-4 and 7-5 on the three counts.“Not giving these victims another chance with a jury who can sit there and consider all of the evidence – win, lose or draw – that would be an injustice,” Mueller said.Defense attorney Philip Cohen argued that it was unlikely that any jury would vote unanimously to convict.
“It appears there are many other witnesses the People could choose to call or different arguments the People could choose to make,” Olmedo said. “A different outcome at a retrial is at least a possibility.”, which was accused of trying to cover up the allegations against a high-profile member.

The D.A.’s office initially declined to file a case against the actor in 2004, after the first accuser gave a report to the LAPD.
