Excerpt:

With this week’s court filings, Danny Masterson’s legal team is now pursuing two separate strategies for trying to reverse his 2023 conviction.

He submitted an “Appellant’s Reply Brief” to complete the briefing on his direct appeal, which has largely focused on questioning the testimony of the Jane Doe victims.

But he also filed this week a habeas petition, which claims that there is evidence that was not submitted during his trial which should be taken into consideration.

Both approaches, the direct appeal and the habeas petition, are being considered by the same court, the 2nd Appellate District of California’s appellate courts.

And once again, here to help us make sense of these documents is our expert, an appellate attorney and longtime member of the Underground Bunker community, TX Lawyer.


I will start with the Appellant’s Reply Brief on the direct appeal first, because the direct appeal has far better odds for almost any defendant than a habeas corpus petition unless the habeas is backed by newly-discovered evidence that completely and unambiguously exonerates the convicted person.

That sounds about right to me. The hidden factor is Miscavige, stupidly trying to run the case, and dictating strategies to his high-priced weasel attorneys; if they don't mind working to defend a serial rapist, they're not going to buck at wildly amateurish direction from a maniac assuming a superior position. Its a little like how I won custody of my boys representing myself against a team of attorneys; they had nothing of substance to bring to the table, and I had credible testimony and evidence.

Miscavige probably should have refrained from trying to run ANYTHING after what happened with Battlefield Earth.
