Danny Masterson试图推翻他对2023年强奸案的定罪,理由是法律辩护无效和司法偏见。
Danny Masterson seeks to overturn his 2023 rape conviction, citing ineffective legal defense and judicial bias.
2003年,Danny Masterson因2003年强奸两名妇女而于2023年被定罪。 Danny Masterson提出申诉,要求推翻他的30年无期徒刑,声称他的辩护律师Philip Cohen未能提出关键证人和开脱罪责的证据,因而没有提供有效的代理。
Danny Masterson, convicted in 2023 of raping two women in 2003, has filed a petition to overturn his 30-year-to-life sentence, claiming his trial attorney, Philip Cohen, provided ineffective representation by failing to present key witnesses and exculpatory evidence.
他指控科恩忽视了证据,包括可能支持妇女同意的个人以及酒精和毒品对记忆的影响问题专家的证词。
He alleges Cohen ignored evidence including testimony from individuals who might have supported the women’s consent and experts on alcohol and drug effects on memory.
请愿书还声称Charlaine F. Olmedo法官的司法偏见,该法官允许检方将Masterson是其成员的科学论派教会描绘成是胁迫性的。
The petition also claims judicial bias by Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo, who allowed the prosecution to portray the Church of Scientology—of which Masterson is a member—as coercive.
本案源于审判无效后重审, 请愿书与Masterson目前的上诉书是分开的。
The case stems from a retrial after a mistrial, and the petition is separate from Masterson’s ongoing appeal.
他仍被监禁在加利福尼亚男性殖民地,二十多年来没有资格获得假释。
He remains incarcerated at California Men’s Colony and is not eligible for parole for over two decades.
