[Judge Charlaine Olmedo and defendant Danny Masterson]
Last week, there was a late-requested hearing in the Danny Masterson criminal case. Masterson wasn’t there, but his defense attorney Philip Cohen was, and he was asking for the April 17 retrial to be moved back to August.
The reason? Cohen told Judge Charlaine Olmedo that her rulings of just two days before, allowing a fifth accuser in the case (Kathleen Jenkins), as well as Claire Headley as an expert on Scientology, would require more time for the defense to prepare for these new witnesses.
Judge Olmedo denied that request and the start of jury selection is still set for April 17.
But even though nothing changed, we were still curious to hear Cohen’s arguments for a delay, and Judge Olmedo’s reasons for not granting it. So we obtained a transcript from the hearing, and we thought you’d be interested in it as well.~~~READ MORE
