Danny Masterson used drugging, Scientology to get away with rape, prosecutor says

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:04:31 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Danny Masterson drugged women’s drinks so he could rape them, then relied on his prominence in the Church of Scientology to avoid consequences for years, a prosecutor told jurors Tuesday in closing arguments at the actor’s trial. “The defendant drugs his victims to gain control. He does this to take away his victims’ ability to consent,” Deputy District Attorney Ariel Anson told the jury of seven men and five women. “You don’t want to have sex? You don’t have a choice. The defendant makes that choice for these victims. And he does it over and over and over again.”The 47-year-old former star of “That ’70s Show” is on rape trial for a second time after the first ended in a mistrial in December, with a jury hopelessly deadlocked on all counts. Masterson has pleaded not guilty to raping three women at his home between 2001 and 2003. His attorney, Philip Cohen, who briefly began his own closing and will continue in the afternoon, told jurors that inconsiste...

The NHL is about to stage a very non-traditional pair of conference finals. Every game will be played in the Sun Belt for the first time, with not an Original Six franchise in sight. “It’s the four best teams left. It doesn’t matter where they’re from, right?,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said Tuesday. “There’s that old tradition, the Original Six and someone’s usually there, but that’s just the way it falls this year.”Carolina will take on the Florida Panthers in the East final, with Game 1 on Thursday night. The Dallas Stars and the Golden Knights open the West final Friday night in Las Vegas. “It’s a lot more fun. It’s a lot more of a party, it really is,” first-year Dallas coach Pete DeBoer said. “The traditional markets, you go to a game, and I’m Canadian, but you go to a game in Toronto … it’s very reserved, very corporate. You come to these games, it’s a party, and Vegas is the same.”DeBoer, who was Cassidy’s predecessor in Vegas and also coached at Florida, believe...

Polis vetoes bill to delay wolf introduction

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:04:31 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Gov. Jared Polis has vetoed a bill that could have added years of delays to wolf reintroduction in Colorado.In a veto letter dated Tuesday, Polis said the proposed law "is unnecessary and undermines the voters’ intent." It would have prohibited the state-led wolf reintroduction until certain federal conditions were final, which could have been years from now if they were challenged in court."The management of the reintroduction of gray wolves into Colorado is best left to the Parks and Wildlife Commission as the voters explicitly mandated," Polis wrote. Polis signs law for ‘Stop the Bleed’ kits in schools Colorado Farm Bureau said it was "gravely disappointed" by the veto. The group said the proposed delays "afforded ranchers the tools they needed to achieve conservation success and mitigate wolf-livestock conflict," according to a statement.The Colorado Cattlemen's Association released a similar rebuke."Unfortunately, Governor Polis’ choice to veto this bill will ...
