That moment when the jury sent in a note and told the judge, we cannot reach a verdict

on two counts.

Do we have to?

That was a key moment in the trial.

Good defense attorney can get a witness who is not criminal court savvy who is under

tremendous amount of pressure while they're on the stand to make mistakes.

Hello and welcome to Best Case Worse Case.

This is Jim Clemente Retard, FBI profiler, former New York City prosecutor and writer-producer

of Criminal Minds, which now goes on the history books of incredibly compelling, dramatic,

prime time TV.

And with me today is-

Hi everybody, it's francy hakes, former state and federal prosecutor and producer on things

to be named Jim that we can only hope will run as long as Criminal Minds did and be

as beloved.

That would be nice.

Well Jim, Best Case Worse Case listeners have been writing in for weeks, months and

asking us to talk about a case in the news.

And I think now's the time to do it.

Yeah well I know you're reticent to talk about prosecutions when they're ongoing.

Oh yeah.

And so the prosecution is no longer ongoing at least in this first trial against Harvey

Weinstein.
