Apparently big checks can still manage to persuade a jury pool.

You just have the right person to give the check to.

The crazy thing that the juror doesn’t understand is the upfront payment is all they will get.

Who can they complain to when they don’t get the much bigger second payment?

Danny Masterson Rape Trial Jury Deadlocked On Trio Of Charges; Judge Sends Panel Home For Thanksgiving Week

Danny Masterson will not discover his fate on three counts of forcible rape until at least after Thanksgiving.

After less than three days of deliberations by the jury, the panel has just told Judge Charlaine Olemdo they are deadlocked on all three counts, and cannot reach an unanimous verdict. Deciding that three days isn’t enough to declare a mistrial, the LA Superior Court judge has sent the jurors home for Thanksgiving. With the defense protesting, Judge Olemdo gave the panel instructions to return on November 28 to start their deliberations again .

Masterson faces up to 45 years in state prison if found guilty on all three counts. The LA County District Attorney’s office and Masterson’s Phillip Cohen-led defense presented and concluded their very different closing arguments on November 15 after nearly three weeks of testimony in the DTLA trial.

Masterson was arrested in June 2020 on three counts of forcible rape that allegedly occurred in 2001 and 2003 at his Hollywood Hills home. Out on $3.3 million bail ever since being arrested, longtime Scientologist Masterson had previously been unceremoniously dropped from Netflix’s Ashton Kutcher co-starring comedy The Ranch at the end of 2017 as claims became known. Seated at the defense table for every day of the trial with a revolving door of family and friends in court with him, Masterson has always denied having nonconsensual sex with the Jane Does of this case or anyone else. – Source
