Michael Jackson Speaks to Geraldo Rivera about Eminem – MJEOL Bullet #219 Jackson thanks his fans for their support and blasts rapper for wretched video & song In a Fox news exclusive phone interview with Geraldo Rivera today (Nov 11 2004), Michael Jackson talked about the disgusting and childish video ‘Just Lose It’ by Eminem (m&m). Standing outside in Times Square with dozens of fans, Rivera hears from Jackson about the “demeaning and disrespectful” video from m&m. He also says that there is a pattern of conduct in m&m’s behavior which is very demeaning to a number of people as well as the black community. Contrary to a recent Associated Press article on the matter, there were more than “16” fans outside as evidenced by the video taken when Rivera was speaking to Jackson. Jackson also took time out to thank the fan-initiated support that he’s been receiving around the world. In London over 4,000 people attended a fan rally in his support recently. And he showed his appreciation for the fans that decided to rally in New York today (Nov 11 2004). From the interview:

I wanna thank my fans for their strong support over the years. They could’ve been anywhere today, you know, and they chose to be in New York in Times Square. And I wanna thank them from the bottom of my heart. They’ve written thousands and thousands of letters and have made hundreds of calls regarding the Eminem video. And I love them so, so much.

Defense Discusses Different Stories Told by Accusing Family – MJEOL Bullet #218 Jackson’s defense team rips into the various stories the accusing family told various authorities Nov 9 2004 There was a late hearing yesterday (Nov 8 2004) in the Michael Jackson “case”, which began at around 2:00PM PST and lasted approx. 2 hours say sources. Jackson’s attorneys were arguing about information in relation to what prosecutors have yet to turn over to the defense. Observers inside the courtroom say that items of discussion included “emails, correspondence, [and] chronologies (time frame)” that the accusing family gave to prosecutors outlining their testimony of events. There could be huge discrepancies regarding what the accusing family first told prosecutors and what they testified to in the grand jury. All of which is in direct conflict with what they were saying at the time they now claim to have been “kidnapped/abducted” and “held” at Neverland. The defense wanted these specific items in order to “show that the Doe family” changed their story, thus committing perjury. The perjury comes in because, as reported months ago, Jackson’s attorneys have signed and sworn affidavits from the accusing family saying that absolutely nothing untoward has ever happened between any of them and Michael Jackson. There also could be a significant different from what the family initially told police in June 2003 to what they ended up telling the grand jury months later. All of which, again, directly conflicts to what they told investigative agencies during the Feb 2003 – April 2003 period. Some observers speculate that because of the Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS) investigation—not to mention the first two-month investigation launched in Feb 2003 by the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department (SBSD)—Jackson’s attorneys didn’t want to take any chances and may have wanted documented evidence/testimony from the accusing family as well.

No DNA, Lies, Possible Welfare Fraud & A Trip to Australia – MJEOL Bullet #217

Stunning new revelations revealed in court during a two-day hearing

Extremely damaging information came out in court during a two day (Nov 4 and 5 2004) hearing in the Michael Jackson “case”.

Among the most explosive issue is the fact that there was no DNA of the accuser found on Jackson’s mattress. Police had seized the mattress in desperate hopes of confirming claims made by the accuser.

It was brought out in court that Tom Sneddon may have flown to Australia in search of another accuser and may have allowed civil attorney Larry Feldman to lie to grand jurors to secure an indictment.

Also the accuser’s mother may be guilty of welfare fraud as new revelations came out in court. Besides hail-Mary attempts to claim the defense is somehow “orchestrating” fan-organized events in an effort to get a change of venue, prosecutors showed other signs that they are beyond ‘removal’-status.

They are on a fast-track to needing a thorough investigation from a larger agency into their beyond-biased behavior, some observers have openly complained.

What’s worse is there has yet to be one sufficient reprimand for their behavior by the current judge in the case, Rodney Melville. This was discussed earlier in MJEOL Bullet #216: Judge Again Allows Prosecutors to Invade Defense Camp.

Judge Again Allows Prosecutors to Invade Defense Camp – MJEOL Bullet #216 False stories around Miko Brando and fan rallies pushed by the media thanks to wild speculation from the prosecution Inexplicably the current judge in the Michael Jackson case has AGAIN allowed prosecutors to get away with essentially stealing, some say, privileged information from the defense team. In late September 2004 police served a search warrant on Jackson’s personal assistant in which they took information, papers, and folders labeled “Mesereau”. Yes, September 2004, almost a year after the original Neverland raid. Most observers call this an obvious violation of attorney-client privilege. However this judge, Rodney Melville, does not seem to think that these prosecutors can do any wrong. He has once again ok’ed an obviously illegal search in this case. The first involved Bradley Miller, the P.I. hired by then Jackson attorney Mark Geragos. It seems that as late as September 2004, prosecutors still did not know where Jackson was from February-March 2003, and they raided the personal assistant’s office to try to find out. Jackson’s defense team says that the search did violate attorney-client privilege and sheriff’s deputies actually used a lousy excuse of only going through “a few pages” of that information before sealing it. Some familiar with police procedure have expressed doubts about this excuse.
