LOS ANGELES — As a crowd of dozens shoved and jostled their way toward an overwhelmed security checkpoint on the ninth floor of Los Angeles County’s largest criminal courthouse last month actor, Scientologist and accused rapist Danny Masterson bumped up against several jurors.
But not jurors in his high-profile trial — the other one happening down the hall.
Whether it was O.J. Simpson, infamous L.A. serial killers such as the Night Stalker or Grim Sleeper, or the doctor convicted of giving Michael Jackson a fatal overdose, the ninth floor of the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in downtown L.A. has long been where the county’s most notorious — and sometimes famous — are brought to face justice.
