Jury selection begins, all these months later... prospectives being asked about #MeToo as well as Scientology... judge allowing accusers to reference church teachings WRT why they did not initially report the crimes to police...

Judge rules a fourth accuser can enter the fray.

Hung jury. Judge set a new trial for March. Masterson's team can't legally ask for dismissal, but hopes judge can do so voluntarily.

Sentencing wasn't till today, due to final statements from accusers, but the length is correct...

And upon reading this, my only reasoned reply is: Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher both can go fuck themselves

I understand the pressure one can feel when a friend is accused and then convicted of a serious crime. There is the pull to stand by the friend when times are worst, and as the article points out, if you know the friend is going to prison for  at least 15 years regardless of what you say, you might feel you can have it both ways, being a good friend while still having get punished and unable to hurt civilians for a long time. Still…

About 20 years ago a former student, who had become a very successful professional and a friend, was arrested and then convicted of sexual abuse of children. My colleagues and I were shocked (we were all psychologists, and had no inkling he was capable of this) and heartbroken (we were also close to his wife and knew his children). 

He asked me to write the court a letter on his behalf, with the aim of reducing, not eliminating, his years in prison. It was a painful, but not difficult decision to decline.

They have since apologized, saying they expected the judge to read their letter privately and not let it be publicized...
Still, Kevin is right.

I don’t buy it as a good faith apology. They both have legal and PR representation and they had to be advised of the possibility of their letters being publicized

In Nevada, it's the judge's discretion whether to make letters like that public. Maybe they thought their celebrity protected them.

Their "apology" was scripted. Mila in particular looked obvious with her eyes moving. They needed to take an extra half hour to rehearse.

I’m not even sure the word apology applies. From what I have read they literally are saying they are sorry the public learned they wrote the letters, not so much sorry they wrote them.

Kutcher ankles the anti-child sex abuse organization he co-founded with then-wife Demi Moore, citing the backlash from the letters of support for Masterson...
