Dimond Negligently Reporting 93 Settlement Details?- Bullet #156 Update3
Dimond Negligently Reporting 93 Settlement Details? – MJEOL Bullet #156 Update#3 Observers: Where’s the Beef? It seems that the 93 settlement agreement wasnt as black and white as even we claimed. Initially, it looked as if Jackson had agreed to some unknown form of negligence not related to molestation. However, it turns out that he didnt even agree to that much. There was absolutely no agreement of anything whatsoever; not even negligence. In short, to call the 1993 settlement a molestation settlement agreement is erroneous and has no basis in fact at all. Below, you’ll still be able to read our original report. To read about this update in the story–and to read a transcript of a hearing where Mesereau addresses this issue–click over to MJEOL Bullet #166: 93 Settlement Was Not A Settlement for Molestation Claims One has to wonder if tabloid reporter Diane Dimond even read the 93 Settlement document before she broke into regular Court TV programming to talk about the details of her illegally obtained scoop.Starting yesterday, Dimond trumpeted this latest leak as if it were an admission of guilt in the 93 case.Nothing could be further from the truth once you read through the actual sealed and supposedly confidential document itself. The rag reporter of former Hard Copy fame has appeared on a number of shows, spinning this document in the stratosphere. But once you cut through all the bull, the unnamed sources, the dramatic pauses and the speculation, you begin to see that the big scoop isnt big at all. It is 11 year old information that has been speculated on for the past .oh, 11 years.
New Jackson Leak Tempest in a Teacup? Act of Desperation? Bullet #155
New Jackson Leak a Tempest in a Teacup? Act of Desperation? MJEOL Bullet #155
Tabloid reporter Diane Dimond has somehow gotten her hands on what she claims to be the settlement document from 1993.This was such important news that both Court TV and, later, MSNBC, broke into their programming to talk about this new 11 year old information.And for what?
After all the initial craziness, what we now know is that Jackson didnt pay the accuser millions of dollars after all.It was, from the info in the document, paid by an insurance company.
If this document is indeed authentic, however redacted, we also learn that the money went into a trust fund for the accuser, not directly to him.We also know that Jackson maintained that he is innocent of any wrongdoing in the settlement.
Melville Inexplicably Denies Bail Reduction Bullet #154
Melville Inexplicably Denies Bail Reduction MJEOL Bullet #154 Apparently, Michael Jackson is so special that he has to be given the distinction of being the only person in Santa Barbara County forced to pay $3M in bail on unproven, unchallenged and suspicious molestation charges.The judge in Jacksons case inexplicably has approved the bail and denied the defense motion to reduce it.
Defense Motion Slams Prosecutors about Excessive Bail Bullet #153
Defense Motion Slams Prosecutors about Excessive Bail MJEOL Bullet #153 One of the issues discussed during the May 28 2004 hearing in the Michael Jackson case was the issue of bail; in particular, how prosecutors are using flimsy reasons to set and hold on to the excessive bail amount.Judge Melville has yet to issue a ruling on whether the bail amount will be decreased as of this writing.In an incredibly scathing motion, Michael Jacksons defense lays into the prosecutions nonsensical and illogical argument to hold on to the $3M bail.The 32 page document includes some insight into how prosecutors are treating Jackson in relation to other citizens of the county and also includes a document in support of bail reduction written by Jackson family attorney Brian Oxman.
Prosecutors STILL Senselessly Searching for evidence? Bullet #152
Prosecutors STILL Senselessly Searching for evidence? MJEOL Bullet #152 The Santa Barbara News-Press recently reported (June.5.2004) that prosecutors are still being granted search warrants to seize phone records in the Michael Jackson case. What the hell do phone records have to do with a molestation case, you may ask? Some say that prosecutors arent looking for evidence of molestation, but rather theyre trying to find dirt on Jacksons personal life or the personal lives of those around Jackson; possibly those alleged unnamed co-conspirators (ha!).
L.A. Investigators Clear Jackson of Abuse Bullet #151
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.
48 Hours: Deep on Peterson, Shallow on Jackson Bullet #150
48 Hours: Deep on Peterson, Shallow on Jackson MJEOL Bullet #150 Jackson attorney Tom Mesereau appeared on CBS program 48 Hours last night (June.2.2004).Because of the sweeping gag order, he couldnt talk about the Michael Jackson so-called case.But what is more interesting about the overall report last night was not what was said, but what was not said. 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?
