The lawyer continued, “The errors which occurred in this case are substantial and unfortunately, led to verdicts which are not supported by the evidence. And though we have great respect for the jury in this case and for our system of justice overall, sometimes they get it wrong. And that’s what happened here.”
Masterson, Holley stated, “did not commit the crimes for which he has been convicted and we—and the appellate lawyers—the best and the brightest in the country—are confident that these convictions will be overturned.”
After the Los Angeles County Superior Court’s sentencing of Masterson, Alison Anderson, an attorney representing 2 accusers, stated in a declaration to E! News that her customers had “displayed tremendous strength and bravery” in stepping forward. She included, “Despite persistent harassment, obstruction and intimidation, these courageous women helped hold a ruthless sexual predator accountable today.”
