He said she said is easier to use as a defense when one person makes a claim but when 3 women all make the same claim with similar details that is pretty hard to overlook.


I would be curious to know if these ladies are still members of the church like Masterson??? That could be a big deal especially if they were testifying to get back at the church more than at Masterson. There would be a motive there to fabricate charges. Also why did they wait almost 20 years to bring charges??

Good. Isn't he a Scientologist. He can ask Xeno for help.

Not sure why this

If he went through a trial and jury couldn’t vote to convict, how is it constitutional to have a do over?
gets downvotes.

In the previous trial, that jury was unable to come to consensus on any of the trio of charges


Ignoring this case, if someone goes through a trial, and the jury can decide either way, it seems absurd to allow the government to get a do over. Doesn’t sound like beyond a reasonable doubt to me.

A mistrial or hung jury, meaning no decision reached, doesn’t consist of a verdict. Therefore, the state has the option of a new trial if they feel their case is strong enough.

If he didn't do it, they wouldn't have gone through with the criminal process & he would've just payed them off.

Beings the women stuck it out makes me think he's guilty af


Whaaaaaaaat??? There were no negative ramifications if they stuck it out or not. Using that as your litmus test of truth is ridiculous.

Yep. And no doubt they are plenty woke themselves, just not lovin' it when it actually has teeth that bites THEIR arse.

Wasn't there also an Oscars where people like Hanks and Streep gave tearful homages to Polanski?

Alot of guys have paid off women and not gone to jail/trial. The women were just after money & some lying.

I've been involved in a similar situation with a guy who was falsely accused.

My point is I don't believe they are lying because most women who do, just take the money and run. They don't even bother with criminal charges.

I've seen it.

retrial began on April 24 and wrapped on May 12 with the defense calling no witnesses. Closing arguments started on May 16 and conclude early on May 17


They deliberated almost 2 weeks. Was there someone dragging it out?

Why are the Statute of limitations so long on this? Were ssomeone the victims minors when it happened?

Double jeopardy only attaches if the jury actually makes the finding of “not guilty.” Constitution and whatnot.

Yep. I don't if he's actually guilty but if you are a defendant in one of these cases in NYC or LA, the jury is going to convict you. Muh feelings will override any facts presented at trial.


Uhh…. Hasn’t he already had one hung jury?

Some of you guys just say some dumb shite.

It’s impossible for a defendant to get a fair trial when the alleged rape victim waits decades to come forward. The statute of limitations is either long or doesn’t exist for these charges, and it’s a he said she said trial every time with no physical evidence. The defendant has to prove his innocence.
