Yesterday's decision came a day after the jury delivered a partial verdict, convicting the former movie boss of one of the main charges and acquitting him of another. Both charges concerned accusations of forcing oral sex on women in 2006. Those verdicts will stand.

The foreperson had complained on Wednesday that he felt bullied by another juror and yesterday said he would not go back into the jury room.

The jury of seven women and five men unanimously reached the first two decisions last Friday, the foreperson later told the judge. The verdicts were delivered on Wednesday when Judge Curtis Farber asked whether there was agreement on any of the charges.
