I’m not 💯 today, Downstroke Joke.

Here bo, I wrote you a poem:

Roses are red
And violets are blue
You look like a sloppy fat version of John Goodman that's melting
And belong in a zoo.

But please do not worry,
For I'll be there too
Not in the cage
But laughing at you

Tells me the Prosecution doesn't have the evidence to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt. 

Mistrial Declared in Danny Masterson Rape Case, ‘That ’70s Show’ Star Still May Face New Trial

A mistrial was called Wednesday in the criminal rape trial of That ’70s Show” star Danny Masterson, a stunning result for the jury that was frustrated and deadlocked going into the Thanksgiving break – then shaken up when two jurors caught COVID and were replaced with alternates.

Prosecutors have the option of scheduling a new trial, and the judge set March 27 as the date to start fresh, with a Jan. 10 status hearing next. But the result of this trial would do nothing to encourage prosecutors, who also have the option to drop the matter – because even with fresh jurors, the vote wasn’t close.

The new jury, after indicating once again in a note Wednesday that they were nowhere near unanimous, was called into the courtroom Wednesday and, at the judge’s request, revealed the current state of their votes: For count one, two guilty and 10 not guilty; for count two, four guilty and eight not guilty; and for count three, five guilty and seven not guilty.

To get a conviction, the jury needed to find Masterson guilty in at least two of the cases – California’s statute of limitations does not allow the prosecution of individual sexual assault charges as old as these. And without even a simple majority to convict on any charge, it seems unlikely the District Attorney to run the same trial without new evidence or witnesses.

 

Masterson and his family were subdued in their reaction – perhaps because there’s still the possibility that, if prosecutors have the will, they will be back in four months to do it all over again. But the result was certainly a win for defense attorney Phillip Cohen, who argued, re-argued, and argued some more for a mistrial on what seemed like a daily basis.

Cohen gave a press conference after the gavel and was asked about Masterson’s reaction.

"You don’t know how a trial’s going until you hear what a jury has to say,” Cohen said. "And as confident as he is in his lawyers, you never know what a jury’s thinking. So there’s a lot of relief on his part, obviously, but there’s potentially still a fight ahead. And we may have to do this thing again and hopefully what the jury indicated in this case will be looked at by the District Attorney’s office.”

The original panel deliberated nearly three full days before the holiday break, and on Nov. 18 sent a note to Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo saying they couldn’t reach a unanimous decision on any of the three charges. The judge replied that they hadn’t deliberated long enough, and ordered them to get back at it after taking Thanksgiving week off.
