As we pointed out recently, Danny Masterson has broken his streak of appealing failed motions in his criminal rape case, and his October 11 trial in Los Angeles looms. However, he’s still looking for ways to delay the proceeding. On August 17, at the next scheduled pretrial conference, Judge Charlaine Olmedo will hear Masterson’s latest reason for wanting the trial set back, and this time it’s for a surprising reason: His attorney Shawn Holley is too busy with another celebrity accused of abusing women.
“'Given this substantial time commitment, it will be impossible for me to prepare for the Masterson trial until Bauer is complete. For these reasons, it would be my request that the Masterson trial be continued to late January 2023,” Holley writes in the letter."
Sure, because nobody else's time is valuable.
Everyone else is just hanging around, twiddling their thumbs, awaiting Masterson's pleasure. His victims? Nonchalant. The prosecution? Carefree. The judge? Blasé.
Ms Holley? Busy and important.
Danny Masterson? Making wine.
As long as we all have our priories in the correct order. Right, Ms Holley?
Sorry Your Honor I know I already represented both of these people when I became lead counsel in this case, but the one rich rapist I am representing is less important than the other rich rapist I am representing because, you see, Mr. Masterson’s career is already in the toilet so I’m just trying to keep him out of jail as long as possible.
Bauer, however will run out of money to pay me if he doesn’t get back to work soon.
Danny Masterson delay attempt: Shawn Holley busy with Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer case
April? Bauer's suspension was announced in April? Danny's victims have been waiting for YEARS! Please don't delay this case one more minute.
I'm sorry, Danny, get another lawyer. Your hot shot attorney doesn't have time for you.

The judge told the lawyers to clear their calendars
As it were
So, one distinct possibility is the judge saying “no thanks@ and Danny changing his lawyer. Again.
At which point does this continued changing of lawyers become bad faith?
Is delay and obfuscate the only weapons Rapey Masterson has? I do hope the judge watches TV shows about lawyers, this looks like an episode of Bull.
