NEW YORK — The judge overseeing the sex-crimes trial of Harvey Weinstein declared a mistrial Thursday on a final charge against him, after the jury foreperson said he was unwilling to return to deliberations.

The ruling followed a wild day in court Wednesday, during which jurors in Manhattan convicted Weinstein of a felony sex crime but were then sent home to cool off. The jury foreperson had complained to the judge that deliberations had devolved into yelling and that he felt threatened by the other jurors.

Wednesday, the panel of seven women and five men announced a partial verdict, convicting Weinstein on a single count of criminal sexual act and acquitting him of another count of the same charge. They were unable to reach a consensus on a charge of third-degree rape.

Thursday morning, after the foreperson said he was unwilling to continue, the judge thanked the jurors for their service and told them he was obligated to declare a mistrial on the remaining count.
