Danny Masterson appeals rape conviction
Fox News
Danny Masterson filed an appeal to his September 2023 rape conviction. The disgraced actor was found guilty of two counts of forcible rape in May 2023.
The "That 70s Show" actor was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison last year, the maximum allowed by law, and will be eligible for parole after serving more than 25 years. Tracy Wright is an entertainment reporter for Fox News Digital. Send story tips to Tracy.Wright@fox.com.
"The Appellant’s Opening Brief submitted on December 18, 2024, demonstrates two fundamental flaws in Danny Masterson's convictions: (1) the trial was rife with erroneous judicial rulings that skewed the jury’s view of the evidence against him and (2) there was a stunning amount of exculpatory evidence which was never presented to the jury," Masterson's lawyer, Cliff Gardner, shared in a statement.
