Edit- he was just sentenced to 30 years. He was convicted in June.
This trial and now conviction has me a bit concerned. Now granted I did not follow it closely nor do I have or have heard all of the evidence other than what I can read in articles; so take all of that into consideration.
From what I have read, two of the accused were his girlfriend at the time. Both claim they told the scientology church of the rapes but were told not to speak of it nor report it to the police. Neither went to the police until years later, one being during the "me too" movement. Both victims reached out to Masterson after the fact, one trying to get back together with him.
The first trial was hung as they could not reach a verdict. The second trial deliberated for two weeks before reaching a verdict. The main piece of evidence is the word of the victims against Masterson. The second piece of evidence which was barred from being used in the first trial but allowed in the second was the women's claim that they were "drugged." One stating she was completely unconscious and the other saying she felt drunk. No evidence other than the victims word.
He will be sentenced from 30 years to life.
Again, I don't know what happened but it does concern me that a man can be sentenced to basically the rest of his life for a crime that two women say happened 20 years ago. I do hope that the allegations were true and justice is being served because the opposite just sounds terrible and insane to me.
the ACTUAL American jury that heard all of the evidence and witnesses...
or some guy on a sports message board.
will there ever be a time when posters here just accept verdicts of jurors?
or you only want to be able to decide every single civil and criminal case based on votes by the F16?

Masterson's wikipedia page has several other allegations of rape/assault that I was unaware of. The allegation below... yikes.
Cedric Bixler-Zavala, singer for the bands The Mars Volta and At the Drive-In, alleged that Masterson sexually assaulted his wife, and stated that At the Drive-In's song "Incurably Innocent" (from the 2017 album Inter alia) is about the incident.
On January 22, 2020, Bixler-Zavala reported that a second of his family pets had to be put down due to being fed rat poison wrapped inside a rolled-up piece of raw meat, alleging this was done by Scientologists in response to his repeated public statements alleging Masterson raped his wife (who was one of the four women who filed suit against Masterson). Masterson has yet to directly respond to any of Bixler-Zavala's claims or his prior allegations made; the closest acknowledgment being Masterson's wife Bijou Phillips making an Instagram post mocking court papers against Masterson.

I actually followed the trial.
The post in the OP is exactly the kind of PR crap that Scientology is putting out.
Scientology kept records of these abuse claims. It's been an open secret among members of Scientology for years and he's not the only one who was drugging and raping women. These three women making claims in this case were not the only ones.
Masterson was disciplined inside of Scientology. Many people knew what he was doing. I don't think people understand how much control Scientology takes of you when you move up in the organization. They cut you off from everything. If you leave, you leave with absolutely nothing. Not even any friendships or family.
A former higher-up in Scientology testified for the prosecution in the trial explaining why the women could not come forward at the time.

An inherent difficulty with prosecuting rape is that it's the type of crime that's rarely committed in front of independent witnesses. Which makes it typically a matter of her word against his. And she has the burden of proof.

In this 2017 report, Eye-witness testimony by ex-Scientology member of one of the victims being taken upstairs to his room at a party and then the girl came back down shortly after crying saying he'd raped her. The party was allegedly mostly Scientology members who then pressured her to stay quiet, saying it was no big deal.

A man sentenced to life in prison for the capital murder killings of two Corpus Christi men may have his conviction overturned following the findings of a Nueces County District Court Judge.
Joe David Padron has spent the last 20 years behind bars for those killings, which were dubbed the "Mary Street Murders."
I don't have a dog in the hunt of the OP, but go back and read the part I bolded.Quote:
A Missouri judge on Tuesday overturned the conviction of a man who has served nearly 28 years of a life sentence for a killing that he has always said he didn't commit.
Lamar Johnson, 50, closed his eyes and shook his head slightly as a member of his legal team patted him on the back when Judge David Mason issued his ruling. In coming to his decision, Mason explained that there had to be "reliable evidence of actual innocence evidence so reliable that it actually passes the standard of clear and convincing"

I have sons and daughters, so to suggest anything about this post is "pro rape" says a whole lot about your intelligence.
As stated, I certainly hope there was more evidence than what is described - because what is described is only he said she said from decades ago. The idea that anyone can be tried and convicted from that is scary as hell.
There is zero evidential value in the fact multiple accusers exist - because there are tons of recent examples of multiple women joining on to perpetuating lies, particularly when it sets up civil suits against rich men. So that fact means nothing.
This concept of "believe all women" is trash. Many of them are saints and angels. Many of them are horrible.
