Jurors began deliberating in the Los Angeles rape and sexual assault trial of Harvey Weinstein, after a final push from the prosecution.

“You have irrefutable, overwhelming evidence of the nature of this man, and what he did to these women,” deputy district attorney Paul Thompson told the jurors in his rebuttal to the closing argument delivered by the defence a day earlier.
