The decision came a day after prosecutors in New York decided Weinstein would not face a fourth trial there.
New York prosecutors say they’ll drop a rape charge against the former movie mogul instead of trying him for a fourth time in the case.
The movie mogul still stands convicted of another sexual felony in New York and others in California, and he remains behind bars.
'We will consider our next steps'
Judge Farber ordered the jurors to continue deliberating, and if they can't reach a unanimous verdict, then the court will need to schedule a new trial with a new jury.
The mistrial leaves the New York rape charge in limbo after three trials.
It was the second time in a year a jury was unable to reach a verdict on a rape charge brought by Jessica Mann.
