Danny Masterson’s attorney released a statement applauding the decision by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo, who declared the "70s Show" star’s rape trial a mistrial Wednesday.

Masterson was on trial for three counts of rape stemming from allegations between 2001-2003 but, on Wednesday, Judge Olmedo said she found the jurors "hopelessly deadlocked" over the facts of the case. A new trial has been set for March 27, 2023.

Philip Cohen, Masterson's attorney, released a statement calling the decision a "true testament" of the justice system.

"I am so thankful for the incredible care and commitment that the jurors showed in this case. This trial was about nothing other than the credibility of the three accusers and that credibility could only be determined by comparing, contrasting and focusing on the ever-evolving statements given by the women," Cohen said.

MISTRIAL DECLARED IN DANNY MASTERSON'S RAPE TRIAL

He added: "The vote count says it all and it is a true testament to our justice system that the jurors were able to see through all the inflammatory noise and focus solely on what was truly important."

On the other side of the case, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office was "disappointed with the outcome."

"While we are disappointed with the outcome in this trial, we thank the jurors for their service," the DA office’s said. "We also want to give our heartfelt appreciation to the victims for bravely stepping forward and recounting their harrowing experiences."

"We will now consider our next steps as it relates to prosecuting this case," it added.

Two of the jurors in the trial were dismissed earlier this week as they tested positive for COVID-19.

Masterson was charged in 2020 with the forcible rape of three women in different instances that allegedly happened between 2001 and 2003. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The woman who brought the allegations forward include a woman who was Masterson’s longtime girlfriend and another close friend. The third accuser was a confidant.

"Our clients showed tremendous courage in testifying about such personal and horrendous acts in a very public forum and despite persistent harassment and intimidation," attorney Alison L. Anderson said in a previous statement provided to Fox News Digital.

In court, one accuser recalled emerging from unconsciousness to Masterson allegedly raping her. She remembered not being able to breathe and thought she was going to die. Another accuser had a similar story that Masterson raped her while she was unconscious in December 2001.

"They remain hopeful that Mr. Masterson will experience some criminal consequences for his vile conduct and are eager to now pursue their claims in civil court and seek redress for the nightmare they have been made to suffer," the statement added.

Americans are growing more concerned over a number of threats and issues facing the country — including thermo nuclear war and a rising tension among countries access to energy resources — according to a poll first obtained by Fox News Digital.

Respondents to a survey from the Reagan National Defense Forum (RNDF) expressed steady or increasing concern about a number of threats that could result in economic hardship or disparity for Americans, from thermo-nuclear war and terrorist attacks on the homeland to political violence and the use of surveillance to suppress human rights.

Those who took part in the questionnaire gave President Biden the lowest approval rating among the last eight U.S. presidents. Forty-three percent of those who were surveyed said they hold a "very" or "somewhat" favorable view of Biden, down five percent from those who said the same for former President Donald Trump (48%) and a 17-point drop from those who said the same for former President Barack Obama (60%).

Concerns of nuclear war and terrorist attacks are on the minds of Americans as tension increases between the U.S. and China, as well as other countries like Russia who are currently engaged in war.

Sixty-nine percent of survey respondents said they are "extremely" or "somewhat" concerned about the threat of thermo-nuclear war within the next five years. That number is up eight percentage points from the same survey that was released in November 2021. Twenty-nine percent said they are "not very" or "not at all" concerned with the threat.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and the Biden administration's unwillingness to capitalize on domestic oil production have raised concerns over the past year about access to energy amid skyrocketing inflation and rising energy prices.

Asked whether they were concerned that countries will fight wars in the next ten years over access to oil, coal, and other energy resources, 81% of respondents said they were "extremely" or "somewhat" concerned about the issue. Seventeen percent said they were "not very" or "not at all" concerned that war would arise over the issue.

The RNDF survey found 76% of respondents are "extremely" or "somewhat" concerned about the threat of terrorist attacks on America, a six point drop from last year's survey that posed the same question. In a November 2018 RNDF survey, 85% of respondents expressed concern over the same threat.

Additionally, concerns about political violence in America remain steady. A majority of respondents, 85%, suggested they are "extremely" or "somewhat" concerned about the rise in political divisions leading to violence in the United States. That number is unchanged from the RNDF's November 2021 survey that asked the same question.

Americans are also growing more skeptical about the use of surveillance. In lockstep with previous RNDF's polls, the new survey revealed that 80% of Americans remain concerned about the use of surveillance technology to suppress human rights. Fifteen percent said they are "not very" or "not at all" concerned with the threat.

The survey, conducted from Nov. 9 to 17, gathered responses from 2,538 American adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
