Danny Masterson’s Lawyers Make ‘Unwanted Contact’ at Jurors’ Homes, Workplaces

Jurors from Danny Masterson's rape trial have reported feeling "pressured" and "troubled" by unwanted contact at their homes, court documents reveal.

In new Nov. 13 court filing reviewed by Rolling Stone, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller said it appeared that the reported outreach to jurors by Masterson’s legal team “was neither wanted nor was it made at a reasonable time and place as required.” Mueller urged the court to conduct a full hearing “to consider the imposition of sanctions, if appropriate, for any unwanted, harassing or otherwise improper conduct by members of the defense team.” “She said she is a member of Mr. Masterson’s habeas team and wanted to ask me questions about incidents regarding parking and in front of the courtroom that resulted in the jury being sequestered,” the juror wrote to the judge. “Her email address was easy to locate online, given the information she provided in open court concerning her place of employment,” Holley said, adding that the juror agreed to meet with her for lunch at a restaurant in Santa Monica the following day.
