- The three-judge appeals panel rejected both Masterson’s appeal and his petition for habeas corpus relief.
- The justices found that the trial court’s limited use of Scientology evidence showed neither bias nor a First Amendment violation.
- His lawyers plan to seek review by the California Supreme Court and separately pursue habeas relief based on allegedly exculpatory evidence.
- In May 2023, the jury found him guilty of raping two of the three women.
Danny is serving a life sentence for crimes he did not commit. No one in California, not defendants and not victims who have actually been the victim of a sex crime, is safer by virtue of today’s unfortunate decision.— Cliff Gardner, Masterson’s lead appellate lawyer, said in a statement responding to the denial of the appeal.

- At a town hall in Caro on Saturday, El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood and criticized the implication of dual loyalty.
- Mike Rogers, his Republican challenger, and President Donald Trump commented in the preceding days on El-Sayed’s potential connections to the organization.
- In a 2012 post, his half-sister described their mother’s Muslim Brotherhood activism in the early 1970s while she was in college.
- Earlier in the week, El-Sayed denied that he or his family had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood; he said he did not know what his mother did in Egypt during the 1970s.
“You assume … that because I am Muslim, that somehow I would have some allegiance to something that is not our Constitution.”— Abdul El-Sayed said this at a town hall in Caro, Michigan, responding to a question about the Muslim Brotherhood and the implication that he had divided loyalties.
