Danny Masterson (That 70s Show) Convicted of Two Rape Counts

[Madmick]

Wouldn't except less from shertards defending a rapist. Shertards know more than a 12 person jury and a judge who were actually at the case.

The classic appeal to authority fallacy.

Why is it that the evidence or testimony that compelled the jurors and judge is so difficult to reproduce? We live in an information age. Nobody has insisted he is innocent. Those of us who have raised an eyebrow have merely highlighted the truth that our justice system is supposed to presume innocence. Why is it so difficult to summarize the compelling points? The concise summaries aren't exactly compelling. I haven't gone so far as to read the full transcripts of the accusers. Have you? If you have, and therefore have intimate knowledge of what the judge or jury found so compelling in it, perhaps you could Cliffs it for the rest of us.

30+, eh?

Hoo boy, that's some serious shit. Dark day for "That 70's Show" actors. Those residuals will be drying up real quick. Cosby styles.

Watched this celebrity-news YouTube channel discuss the trail, verdict, and sentence and at no point was there ever any mention of physical evidence in any of the three charges, two of which he was found guilty of.

Apparently there was witness testimony that he was known as a date-raper, but that seems like it'd be hear-say.

A bit that was far more damning was he apparently had one of his 'victims' sign a NDA in exchange for $1 million. The judge said, in sentencing, innocent people don't do NDAs for that amount of money.

The whole situation seems very very odd.

I can't imagine having a girlfriend, and at some point raping her, and then she continues to be my girlfriend.

 

[Morning Star]

I think he's most likely guilty, but that's a lot of years with no physical evidence. Crazy that you can kill someone and get less time than that. Shit that Gal that drove drunk and was laughing about killing 2 people when she got arrested only got 14 years.

One wonders if the judge sourced that claims because people like Masterson have a very good reason to sign expensive NDAs if it protects their brand in the long-term. First, purely materially, their ability to work and have a good reputation could be worth far more than that. Second, I think many people, not just famous people, value their good name irrespective of material considerations. If they're wealthy enough they figure a payoff makes it go away, there's no cleaner "fix", then it doesn't necessarily imply-- and it certainly doesn't entail-- guilt.

Supposing he committed the two counts of rape, every rapist should get 15 years per charge.

But its amazing how inconsistent our justice system is with sentences. As you mentioned that 19 year old killed two 'friends' in a suicide attempt and only got 15 years.

And there's these aggregiously horrible sentences -

Holy fuck.

I'm surprised they let you leave.

I told them I had a flight to catch because I was too much of a wimp to tell them to piss off lol

Rape is rarely about not being able to get laid, it’s sickness and power and sometimes obsession.

Maybe thats why you do it but pretty clear he was just awful at talking to chicks

California. 30 years huh? On that evidence. Imagine what they are going to do to Cain Velasquez.

 

[PaleMoonlight]

People committing violent crimes with evidence and proof have served way less than 30 years.

if there was hard evidence he deserves it. But based on just testimony alone from 20 years ago is insane. If they keep convicting like this, all men could be accused and go to jail.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

I wonder how they get those priests who sodomized children and 20-30 years later they are in prison, without any evidence.

 

[AFewDollarsMore]

This should get tossed on appeal. Ridiculous

 

[Phisher]

How can you convict someone with no circumstantial evidence for a crime that may or may not have happened two decades ago?

Masterson could very much well have committed these assaults but it’s literally a coin flip

You mean no physical evidence, like DNA.

There's plenty of circumstantial evidence, which is why this got to trial.

There's also evidence that the assaults were reported to Scientology and the LAPD shortly after they happened but got covered up by the "church" because Scientologists aren't allowed to rat each other out to outsiders.

Also, there's a shitload more accusers besides the ones that they took to trial.

This dude was another Cosby.

A lot of people chiming in this thread know absolutely nothing about the case.

Danny got stuck in a cell with Big Bubba.

Big Bubba stared at Danny for hours.
Danny was scared.

Big Bubba finally says " Do you want to be the husband or do want to be the wife?"
Danny shit his pants.

Big Bubba asked again.
" Do you want to be the husband or do want to be the wife?"

Danny was really scared now and blurts out "I want to be the husband"

Big Bubba says "Okay, get over here and suck your wife's dick."

I’d convict the guilty piece of shit off that alone. You don’t have someone sign a NDA and bribe them unless you know you did them dirty. If it was Scientology or wtv that covered it up convict those pieces of shit also.

We need to hurry up and improve lie detector test so they can be more readily used.

wait he said he wants to be the wife so..
he should go over there and suck his own dick??

I guess it is implying spinal damage from not being Uber flexible?

I guess that's a sterotype about being locked up
