Jurors began their third day of deliberations Friday in the retrial of 'That '70s Show' actor Danny Masterson, who is charged with raping three women at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003.
"What happened after they were drugged -- they were raped by this man over here," the prosecutor said, pointing across the courtroom at Masterson. "... You have an opportunity to show there is justice. It does exist."
Masterson's lawyer said he was not alleging that there was some "grand conspiracy" against his client, but told jurors the alleged victims have spoken with each other despite a Los Angeles Police Department detective's admonition and that their accounts have been tweaked throughout the years.He said there was no forensic evidence to support the prosecution's contention that the alleged victims' drinks had been drugged by Masterson.
"The church has no policy prohibiting or discouraging members from reporting criminal conduct of anyone, Scientologists or not, to law enforcement," according to the statement. "Quite the opposite, church policy explicitly demands Scientologists abide by all laws of the land. All allegations to the contrary are totally false."
The actor said then he was "very disappointed," and added that "it seems as if you are presumed guilty the moment you are accused." He also "denied the outrageous allegations" and said he looked forward to "clearing my name once and for all."
