Lisa Marie Presley will not be taking the stand in Danny Masterson’s rape trial. Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller told LA Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo and the defense this morning that the prosecution had decided not to call Presley after all.

Though set on the witness list for weeks, the scope of the testimony of the former prominent Scientologist was severely limited yesterday by Judge Olmedo.

Not allowed to speak on potential obstruction of justice by the Church of Scientology in the alleged sexual assault of Jane Doe #1 by the That ‘70s Show actor in 2003, Presley’s stint on the stand would have been limited to what she knew or did not know about the rape claims directly from friend Jane Doe #1.

Testimony that clearly wasn’t worth it to the D.A. Having fought consistently to keep almost any reference to Scientology out of the trial, Masterson’s defense argued high profile Presley allegations are not “relevant here” and “too vague to be helpful.” It is alleged that Presley was asked by church officials to persuade Jane Doe #1/Jen B not to report the assault to the police.
