Maazel, outside the courthouse, again ridiculed the defense as a distraction. “They want this to be a case about Scientology and it’s not,” he said. “This is not a Mike Rinder podcast.” Brakefield, in her deposition, said of Haggis, “He’s a stand-up guy” and “he’s sort of known for sticking up for the little guy.” She said he never made a pass at her, and they were alone together often, and he was always “cordial, friendly, professional, joking, normal, relaxed.”
“He kind of shrugged and went, ‘Okay,’” McNally said, pronouncing “okay” in a high-pitched voice. “And then he taught me backgammon,” she added. McNally, 47, said that of anyone whose advances she had ever rejected, Haggis had “the most easygoing, comical and friendly response.” On cross-examination McNally said that she has spoken with Haggis about the allegations by Breest, but that she doesn’t know Breest or any of the other four women who testified against him. McNally said she knows other female friends of Haggis’.

Davis also contradicted claims made by a psychologist for Breest’s legal team, Lisa Rocchio, about memory and about myths that prejudice people against victims of rape.
