[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The posters blindly defending folks writing character references are completely missing the point. Nobody's saying convicted people can't have loved ones weigh in on their sentencing. No one.. it is totally reasonable to write a letter that says, his daughter would really suffer from not having her father, a shorter sentence would be appropriate, he wouldn't be a threat and he would be paying his debt....That's not what these letters did. These letters are saying that Danny is this person who has been wonderful every moment of his life and they have never ever seen him act inappropriately, and he just hates drugs.

He is convicted of drugging and raping these women. These letters are saying that these women are lying. Let that sink in. These letters are being written by people like Ashton kutcher, who personally knew these women. He knows that Danny Masterson is a slime ball. they also have a mutual friend who is a huge cokehead and that is common knowledge. It's all bs. The fact that Ashton has a charity for victims of sex trafficking makes it a million times worse. (Topher Grace never got along with the lot of them, and this is why. He has never been into bad behavior and this gross lifestyle. He also comes from money but was not flashy, which I think is telling.)

You can write a character reference for a friend. You cannot re-traumatize their victims and say quite blatantly that it's impossible he did the crimes he was CONVICTED of.[/quote]

All of this. There is a version of these letters that would not anger people and which would be easy to defend. "He has a young daughter, we have known this family for years, I thought it was important for the court to know the longterm impact of a maximum sentence in this case on his family. The negative impacts of incarceration on the children of the incarcerated is well documented. I do not condone anything Danny did and my heart goes out to the victims in this case." Sure, it's a bit conflicted by life is messy and you know what? It is a tragedy that a 9 yr old girl is going to lose her father over this. She did nothing wrong.

They chose not to go that route, they wrote full-throated defenses of Danny Masterson AFTER all of these details of what he did came out and he was convicted by a jury. They deserve every bit of reprobation -- they are defending and excusing a convicted rapist. And I think it's also possible they are trying, in a very carefully worded and likely legally-informed way, to lay the groundwork for discrediting these women as drug-addicts and liars as Danny's appeals move forward.[/quote]

Nobody is missing any point, we just don’t agree with yours. I don’t think the letters said anywhere that he didn’t commit the crimes he’s accused of. They’re character references that outside of these terrible crimes, for the past 20 years, he’s been a good friend, husband and father to his loved ones. It’s not to negate his crime, it’s to lessen the sentence to the shortest of the options.[/quote]
