Prosecutors Unlawfully Withholding Jackson Property? – MB #277

Prosecutors Unlawfully Withholding Jackson Property? – MB #277 JULY 6 2005 — The prosecutors in the Michael Jackson “case” appear to be, still, violating Jackson’s rights by refusing to release property seized from him during the trial which resulted in a total acquittal. The defense filed a motion in court after Jackson’s acquittal, on 10 felony counts and 4 misdemeanor counts, requesting that the judge order Jackson’s property to be returned. The prosecution replied that they want to keep the material just in case other “investigations” arise in the future. For the record, they have no legal authority to continue to hold onto Jackson’s property indefinitely “just in case” of another “investigation” sometime in the future. Quite frankly, it sounds suspicious; as if they are planning on a future “investigation”. You don’t get to keep a person’s personal property just because you feel like it. I guess prosecutors have been talking to Ms. Cleo; free reading and all. Perhaps they have….uh…..”lost” some of Jackson’s valuable personal property and don’t want the defense finding this out. Whatever the reason, Jackson’s attorneys responded to the prosecution’s ridiculous excuses for continuing to hold onto property which doesn’t belong to them.
