The REAL reason he got 30 years based on nothing but hearsay
If you want to know why Masterson got such a harsh sentence, it's because one of the women accusing him is married to Cedric Bixler-Zavala, a member of alternate rock bands, At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta.
And who is Cedric Bixler-Zavala?
He happens to be a very close friend and former bandmate of Beto O'Rourke, the Democrat darling who keeps trying to turn Texas blue. They were in an early '90s El Paso Emo band called Foss together. Obviously Beto has political clout and can exert a certain degree of influence.
