Tony, I'm glued. I spent my day between fall yard work and refreshing your page. On work days I come home and devote a couple hours to reading everything you've posted. This trial has been fascinating, gut-wrenching, and long overdue. The fallout is sure to be a PR nightmare for Scientology, but only slightly less worrisome than the potential for further legal troubles looming on the horizon. Absolutely excellent reporting!

How is Luke Watson not a witness in this case? He was at all pivotal events. He could simply confirm the drinks, hot tub stuff and so on. I can understand how he would be a reluctant witness, but for heaven's sake he should be there to verify some of the facts. Is he a Scientologist? Where is he now? Any info on that?

Your detailed reporting is appreciated. I am new to the whole subject of scientology, and I am just stunned.

Danny could have a new TR’s drill named after him:

TR 40-DonkeyPunch: combine soporific drugs with Tone 40 commands for Sexual Assault.

Commands: “Take off your clothes” “Get in the shower”, anything similar.

Position: (ok I’ll stop here but if you’ve ever seen the scientology “TRs” bulletins you know exactly what I’m talking about)

Even though you may get tired of hearing this, thanks again Tony for all your hard work on this trial (and for your daily articles over many years). I know you hear that appreciation all the time from many of us, but it just feels right to keep saying it. Absolutely amazing work!

The 1-2am poster: Tony you kick ass! I have followed you intensely & all the comments. I tried to post for 2 hours, each time it got erased. Finally I called Missionary Kid, who gave me a very helpful tip. Thanks for all you are doing!

I'll bet they hate having you & other media in the courtroom. For years the media just didn't care/didn't want to risk getting sued. Anonymous changed that in 2008. But this is fantastic....and yes! You are the man. 🌹👍💜🏅⛩️

The scales of justice is not going Danny's way. I don't see the defense coming close to winning.

Every guy knows when a woman says no that's it, going past that is rape. I couldn't count how many times she said no to him.

If I had been interviewed by SA police specialist, Det. Reyes (Katrina, I think?), I would be thinking she was sketchy, too. I'd be writing a report to her superiors pronto! It started me thinking... maybe she was in you-know-who's pocket? To make this "go away".

Thank you Tony! Look forward to your excellent summary each day. Very surprised Chynna and Billy are tarnishing their wholesome reputation by showing up in support of Bijou/Danny. Not wise, but I guess because they are family they feel obliged ?? You rock, thank you for all you do!!

Horrifying

Thanks for the report. What with all the drilling into exactly who said what to whom and when by the defense, hopefully there will be a little time to drill into the various detectives and investigations on the side of the police... And what was that about missing files?!?

After all this, Bijou’s got to get out of this relationship, right?
