The Docket 09.14.23 Masterson And Xenu vs. The World

Scientology, crisis management, and the trial penalty

the true crime that's worth your time

With Danny Masterson facing decades in jail, we’re talking about his trials, the sentence, and more: how much power Scientology really has, versus what it wants us to think; celebrity defendants and the so-called trial penalty; trade secrets; gangster BS; who’s better at intimidation, Sea Org or Mormons; hanging a light on criminal-justice paperwork; best STFU practices; and when to go with crimoir audiobook instead of the paper version.
