Two of Danny Masterson's former attorneys were sanctioned for providing discovery materials to the Church of Scientology, including victims' addresses and license plate information.
Two of Danny Masterson’s former attorneys were hit with financial sanctions Wednesday, after a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled they improperly shared information about the actor’s victims with the Church of Scientology, which has long been accused of harassing and stalking the women.
The church has denied all wrongdoing, and its chief spokeswoman, Karin Pouw, has repeatedly noted that Scientology is not a party to Masterson’s case. But thefrom the proceedings, especially after Deputy Dist. Atty. Reinhold Mueller received an e-mail last month from Podberesky that he said contained a “large quantity of the people’s discovery.”
Edith Matthai, an attorney representing Mesereau, told Olmedo on Wednesday she had not placed a protective order on the materials in question and argued neither lawyer had done anything wrong. Mesereau — who famously successfully defended Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson in criminal cases — and Applebaum declined to comment through their attorneys after court. They will have to pay $950 in fines, according to Olmedo’s order. Podberesky told The Times last month that she legally obtained the materials, but declined to say how.
In her ruling, Olmedo found it was actually the church that made false and improper accusations against Mueller, Anson and the LAPD detectives on the case during the retrial. In addition, Olmedo ruled Wednesday that, despite the church’s repeated protests to being referenced at trial, the church, through Podberesky, “has attempted to involve itself” in the legal proceedings.
