To think I taught Danny Masterson in 6th grade....and to read these horrific things these girls say they went through. This is truly gross. I know Scientology pushes "the greatest good for the number of dynamics"
(Basically lie to yourself & others to keep the phony "church"'s PR good...at all costs!) May Justice prevail!
Thanks for the play-by-play, TO! Two sidebars already and we're still on opening statements. Dang! Really didn't expect that many scientology references so soon, but glad Mueller was able to show from the start how the cult influence is inextricably woven through. So the defense angle is going to be "they didn't think it was rape till they talked to each other?" Interesting to see how far that takes them...

Astonishing.
And so it begins. Those who are benefiting from Tony's pool reporting are in for a treat. Excellent play by play reporting.
Amazing coverage. It really does feel like being in that courtroom.
Keep up the good work.
Just like being there. Awesome coverage.
So far channel 7 has briefly mentioned
The Danny Masterson trial & Scientology.
Thank goodness you are there, Tony.
My guess is as things heat up, more media will arrive.
Gloves are off in opening statements. Defense couldn’t wait to start until after lunch. Not sure if that was a good or bad strategy on their part.
Excellent coverage. Thank you.
Absolutely riveting. Great reporting.

There is something great about reporting and reading in real time.
