Closing arguments are underway in the ongoing civil trial of former news anchor Sandra Maas against KUSI. On Wednesday, March 8, the courtroom was so crowded the judge allowed people to stand, as well as sit on the floor. Both KUSI and Maas had a number of supporters there. Maas is accusing KUSI of gender and age discrimination, as well as violating the state’s Equal Pay Act, saying her contract wasn't renewed in 2019 after voicing her concerns over pay inequities between herself and her co-anchor, Allen Denton. During the weeks-long trial, it was revealed at one point, Maas was making $90,000 less than Denton, though the differential became less later in her career. But, KUSI says Denton had more experience and worked more hours than Maas, which were among the reasons why he was paid more. https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/jury-deliberations-in-sandra-maas-case-against-kusi/509-d6a005be-c2d5-4e44-b892-3f36622b45ce
