WHAT’S THE SKINNY ON…..? ANN GABRIEL (KITE): She was hired by Michael Jackson’s then-attorney David LeGrande to help deal with the PR after the Martin Bashir “documentary” aired. She was fired shortly thereafter. Gabriel’s role was previously discussed here in MJEOL Bullet #172. The less than 3-week ‘veteran’ is the one who “established” for prosecutors Jackson’s alleged intent to conspire. So on her word comes, either partially or wholly, the “conspiracy” nonsense. This “bit player’s” role is highlighted by the defense in their Reply to Plaintiff’s Opposition to Defendant’s Motion to Set Aside the Indictment:
The District Attorney points to _______ as the key witness who established Mr. Jackson’s intent to participate in a conspiracy. (Plaintiff’s Opposition 4:18-26). ______ had no personal knowledge regarding Mr. Jackson’s specific intent to do anything. She worked for _________ for 3 weeks before she was terminated. (RT 1453:26; 1470:23-24). ([url=http://www.mjjforum.com/main/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=61&func=fileinfo&parent=folder&filecatid=214](pg 8 (pg12 in .pdf file))[/url]
Some observers say that because of the major problems with the prosecution’s theories, it seems as if they didn’t do their homework on Gabriel, and may have been led to believe she knew more about Jackson than she really does. Ya think!? The defense confirms her short employment and that fact that Gabriel, whose name is blacked out in the court documents, has never even met Jackson. So how in hell could she have known anything in regards to what Jackson may or could do? From the defense’s rebuttal motion:
__________ never even met Mr. Jackson. (RT 1465: 23-24). _________ was a peripheral, bit player who, after the fact was willing to give testimony about anything to be important. __________’s testimony lacked foundation and was based on hearsay, speculation and conjecture. Even if it was admissible, ___________’s testimony fails to support the prosecution’s inference that Mr. Jackson had the specific intent to participate in a conspiracy. ___________’s testimony, at best, is conjecture and speculation, and thus, cannot be considered. (pg 8 (pg12 in .pdf file)
Gabriel was apparently allowed to even speculate about Jackson’s finances and earning potential, in an effort to talk grand jurors into thinking that he had anywhere between $500-700M to lose--as a way to speculate about a motive to engage in a “conspiracy.” Gabriel told grand jurors about possible revenue from cell phone ring tones, in which she claimed they alone could be worth $500-700M, without any foundation whatsoever that any of this was even true according to the defense. Besides this being completely out-of-the-blue information, sources say she has and would have had no way of knowing what a possible deal for Jackson’s music with cell phone companies would be worth. She also couldn’t possibly be privy to this type of information. The defense says:
No foundation was laid to establish how _________ developed this opinion or what facts, if any, she based it on. Ms. __________ also was not qualified as an expert to offer an opinion regarding the economic impact of the release of “Living with Michael Jackson,” let alone Mr. Jackson’s personal views of the film. (pg 9 (pg13 in .pdf file))
The man who hired her, David LeGrand, had another story to tell about Gabriel. In a report from the Review Journal, titled “LeGrand responds”, he says Gabriel is proficient in reinventing reality to suit her own needs. He also confirmed that she was fired because she wanted to go on live TV as the spokesperson for Michael Jackson. From that report:
"Some people are incredibly creative at reinventing reality to suit their own needs and make themselves feel important, especially people who have failed at various careers," LeGrand said in an e-mail Sunday. "Just because someone interprets an event does not make that interpretation the truth or an accurate reflection of what occurred." He said Gabriel was fired from the Jackson team "within days of being engaged to assist with PR strategy because she wanted to go on live television nationwide as the spokeswoman for Mr. Jackson. "Even though she was specifically instructed not to do so, she was ready to proceed until legal counsel in L.A. stopped her. As a result her role in assisting with PR matters was terminated. Perhaps her interpretation of events is tainted by her abrupt termination?" (see LeGrand responds to Gabriel Testimony - Review Journal)
This prosecution witness is sure to come under heavy fired during cross examination by Jackson’s attorney.
