What happens now in Danny Masterson's rape case? 'That '70s Show' actor's retrial scheduled for March 2023

The jury foreman was also questioned by the judge regarding the results. He informed her that on count one, the forced rape of Jane Doe 1, there were two votes for guilt and ten votes for acquittal. On count two, the forced rape of Jane Doe 2, four people chose to be found guilty and eight others chose to be found not guilty.

On count three, the forced rape of Jane Doe 3, five people voted guilty and seven voted not guilty. Judge Olmedo stated to the court that the jury was "hopelessly deadlocked" and added, "I am declaring a mistrial." She has set a new hearing for March 6, 2023, and Masterson's second trial date for March 27. 'The Ranch' star is free on a $3.3 million bond.

"I'm so thankful and truly impressed with the time an attention that the jury gave to this case," Philip Cohen, his attorney, said to DailyMail. It will be up to the Los Angeles district attorney to determine whether to pursue trying Masterson again after the mistrial was declared, prosecutor and deputy district attorney Reinhold Mueller told DailyMail.

Mueller said, "At this point we are proceeding in the direction of bringing this case to trial again." However, Cohen informed DailyMail that he would "file a motion to dismiss" if the DA did decide to retry Masterson. "Ten for not guilty, eight for not guilty and seven for not guilty speaks volumes," he said, adding that the district attorney should think twice about retrying the case "in light of the jury's decision."

Cohen remarked, "I think it would be very difficult to find 12 people to convict," given the trial's testimony and evidence. He claimed that Masterson's response to the mistrial was one of "relief - but there's potentially still a fight ahead."

Jane Doe 2, Jane Doe 3, and Jane Doe 3's husband jointly issued a statement on Wednesday, November 30, following the declaration of the mistrial. The statement read, "We would first like to thank the jury for its public service. We are obviously disappointed that, at least for the time being, Daniel Masterson has evaded criminal accountability for his deplorable acts," as reported by DailyMail.

"However, we are collectively resolved to continue our fight for justice, including in civil court, where we have alleged that Mr. Masterson, along with the Church of Scientology, its leader David Miscavige, and others conspired to systematically stalk, harass, and intimidate us when we sought to shed light on Mr. Masterson's actions. This legal fight is far from over, and it is critical that we reckon with Scientology's alleged role in covering up reports of abuse and threatening victims," the statement concluded.

Jane Does 2 and 3's attorney, Alison L Anderson, stated, "Our clients showed tremendous courage in testifying about such personal and horrendous acts in a very public forum and despite persistent harassment and intimidation," as reported by DailyMail.

"They remain hopeful that Mr. Masterson will experience some criminal consequences for his vile conduct and are eager to now pursue their claims in civil court and seek redress for the nightmare they have been made to suffer," Anderson concluded.
