    These letters are wild. Why? Why get involved? He's been convicted. Just stay out of it. Now you simply look like you're defending a convicted rapist. I don't care if it was my best friend. I'm not going to write a letter for a rapist asking for the judge to go easy on him because he was always nice to me.

      Because the justice system isn’t perfect and it’s possible for innocent people to get convicted.

          How do you reasonably surmise if someone is being falsely charged? I don’t know what role Scientology plays in this. What brings them up?

            If you're interested, there is a lot more background on this case

            One troubling aspect is that the victims were coerced by the Scientologists to not charge Masterson, and instead, handle this within their cult realm
