[AG’s office attorney Blythe Leszkay and Scientology celebrity Danny Masterson]
When it comes to Danny Masterson’s multiple appeals, we try to keep a very close watch on what’s happening at the Second Appellate District in Los Angeles.
In Masterson’s direct appeal, well-known appellate attorney Cliff Gardner is trying to convince the court that Danny didn’t receive a fair trial by casting doubt on the testimony of the Jane Doe victims, objecting to the way the prosecution brought these cases under California’s “One Strike Law,” and by criticizing the rulings made by trial Judge Charlaine Olmedo, including her decision allowing for more Scientology in the second trial.
Those complaints were answered by the California Attorney General’s office, which in a “respondent’s brief” methodically went over the entire case in a very effective manner, we thought. (And so did our expert, TX Lawyer.)
Now fully briefed, the appeal heads to an oral arguments hearing on June 25, which will be live-streamed so we can all watch it.
Yesterday, another item appeared on the case docket. It might seem small, but we ran it past TX Lawyer, and we thought we would share it with you.
After the court announced that the hearing would take place on June 25, Masterson’s attorney Gardner requested 30 minutes for his allotted time to make his case and answer questions from the three justices.
But Blythe Leszkay, a Los Angeles lawyer in the state attorney general’s office, requested only 15 minutes for her presentation.
