From what I understand, the evidence itself wasn’t so damning, it was his complete and total lack of a defense. There were no witnesses or testimony for the defense, and they seemed to rely solely on discrediting the prosecution, which they couldn’t do. It was declared a mistrial the first time, and then retried when he was found guilty on 2 of the 3 charges. It should also be mentioned that it seems as though his lawyers were from the Church of Scientology and were more concerned with sussing out what the LAPD had on David and Shelly Miscavige than on actually defending Masterson, so much so in fact that they subpoena’d records unrelated to the case which the judge ultimately threw out. Masterson was found guilty, and I believe that is the correct verdict, but I also think he was set up by his overlords to be a sacrificial lamb so they could try to get information from the LAPD that would otherwise be confidential. He never stood a chance, but I’m kind of OK with that. Sic Semper Rapists.
