Masterson's Legal Team Accused of Juror Harassment

News summary

Danny Masterson's legal team is facing scrutiny for allegedly harassing jurors from his rape trial, despite a judge's order to protect their identities. Multiple jurors have reported unwanted contact at their homes and workplaces by the defense team, raising concerns of pressure and inappropriate conduct. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller has filed a motion requesting a hearing to consider sanctions against Masterson's attorneys. Judge Charlaine Olmedo expressed being 'troubled' by these actions, as jurors felt they weren't informed of their right to refuse discussions. Defense attorney Shawn Holley claims that some jurors voluntarily agreed to meet and nothing improper occurred, yet court documents suggest otherwise. The situation marks a continuation of legal challenges for Masterson, who is serving a 30-year sentence for his conviction.
