Yesterday Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo issued lengthy rulings about Danny Masterson’s retrial, which is now scheduled to start on April 17.
"Thus, Scientology practices and beliefs are relevant to determining whether defendant committed the alleged crimes."
The DA and judge Olmedo get it. Now, can the jury 'get it'? The few changes to testimony regarding the first trial may have been fixed. Go whack some Masterson ass DA Mueller.
Sunny explains the $cieno business plan? Be still my racing heart. Thank you Sunny, your take on the scam is very important to keeping new meat out of the $cieno grinder.
Don’t think we could’ve asked for a better ruling! So encouraging that they can talk about the impact of this abusive cult. I can only assume that missing detail played a large role in the first jury’s confusion.
Let’s hope Mueller brings up the DJ name in a way that pleases the judge. This man’s depravity should be on court record.
I am glad to see that #6. Victims’ Prior Sexual Histories and Partners, was excluded. Hubbard was very clear regarding sex in HCO BULLETIN OF 26 AUGUST 1982 Pain and Sex.
“Pain and sex were the INVENTED tools of degradation.” In that bulletin he made it clear that sex was created to diminish beings power. I consider that Scientology is extremely repressive regarding sexual activity other than in marriage and procreation. IMO the end result is extremely screwed up members within the organization regardless of their age. The way scientologists get around this if they have the money for auditing is to say to themselves, “I can always get it off(confession) in an auditing session.” That absolves it. In the case of Masterson I have a feeling he never told his auditors anything regarding his rapes. Or he lied regarding what happened in the sexual encounters.

Wow! These rulings seem to eliminate lots of opportunities for the Defense to "muddy the waters" and "confuse" jurors. Thank you judge Olmedo.

Yes, but it is scary what happens to many of their kids.
Yes, they are often saddled with mental problems.
Great ruling. Who is Lily and what happened in her death? I tried googling it but didn't find anything,
I had the same question!
I have it on my calendar. Cannot wait. Thankful for the changes and continuing to pray for favor and justice! In Jesus' mighty name.
