A judge on Tuesday refused to delay the rape trial of That '70s Show star Danny Masterson over anti-Church of Scientology barbs two candidates have been lobbing at each other in TV ads supporting their opposing campaigns to win the Los Angeles mayoral election.Jury selection for the trial is now scheduled to start next Tuesday at Superior Court's downtown criminal court where the Scientologist actor, 46, has pleaded not guilty to raping three women at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003.But his legal team filed a motion calling on Judge Charlaine Olmedo to postpone the trial until after the November 8 mayoral election, arguing that a jury could be prejudiced against Masterson by 'inflammatory' and 'negative' remarks both candidates have made in campaign ads condemning Scientology.
