LA Investigators Clear Jackson of Abuse MJEOL Bullet #151 Very little TV coverage in comparison to when the story first broke The LAPD has cleared Jackson of another false claim of molestation.An 18 year old man, according to sources, was running around Los Angeles trying to procure a psychologist and an attorney after claiming he was abused by Jackson in the 80s.The two month investigation came up empty: no proof of abuse, no other accusers, and no proof that this fake accuser even met Jackson at the time he was claiming abuse.The broadcast media, being their usual selves, of course didnt give this news nearly as much attention as the original claim received.

The bulk of the program last night focused on the Scott Peterson case. However, instead of simply reciting a litany of what has already been reported in the media, serious questions were posed about that case which made one think about it in a different way. Why, then, were there so many questions left unanswered and unasked about the Jackson case even given the short amount of time spent on it? Further, could more of that short amount of time have been spent on Mesereau and his charitable past?
