Danny Masterson‘s rape trial has actually concerned an end … a judge has actually stated a mistrial after a hung jury.
Masterson remained in a Los Angeles courtroom Wednesday waiting to hear a decision, when the jury revealed it deadlocked. The judge then stated a mistrial.
The jury started considerations 2 weeks earlier after 4 weeks of testament from declared victims. They had a break since of Thanksgiving, and 2 jurors were changed on Monday with alternates after evaluating favorable for COVID.
It’s uncertain if district attorneys will choose to attempt the star once again.
He was dealing with an optimal sentence of 45 to life behind bars if condemned of the charges.
As we reported, Masterson was charged back in 2020 with 3 counts of rape, with the declared victims declaring the events happened in between 2001 and 2003 … right in the middle of the run of his comedy, “That ’70s Show.”
Masterson’s lawyer, Tom Mesereau, informed TMZ at the time … “Mr. Masterson is innocent, and we’re confident that he will be exonerated when all the evidence finally comes to light and witnesses have the opportunity to testify.”
The star pled innocent to the charges … and while he never ever affirmed in his own defense, he and his legal group kept that the events either didn’t take place or were consensual.
