Actor Danny Masterson was found guilty of two counts of r**e yesterday in a retrial, months after a jury couldn’t come to a unanimous decision on any of the three criminal r**e charges. After the verdict was announced, I told Insider, “This conviction is remarkable because prosecutors turned around a case that, in the last trial, ended with a hung jury that was leaning toward an acquittal.”

I also told The Hollywood Reporter, “Jurors sometimes have a difficult time when an alleged r**e involves a dating relationship, because they have trouble figuring out how s*x can be consensual in one instance but r**e in another instance.”

This time around, “The judge allowed prosecutors to make some changes in how they presented the case, and it seems that carried the day,” I told The Wrap. “When prosecutors can say the victims were drugged, that allows the jurors to wrap their heads around what changed to make the s*x suddenly not consensual.”
