Prosecution Evidence Not Incriminating as Claimed – MJEOL Bullet #253 MARCH 16 2005 — At the risk of once again using an overly used phrase, there were more bombshells in court, this time cited by Michael Jackson’s defense attorney Robert Sanger through his cross-examination of police detective Steve Robel. Robel testified yesterday as to items seized from Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. He had claimed that they took adult material from a box at the foot of Jackson’s bed. Today (March 16 2005), the defense revealed more devastating information to the prosecution’s case. The fingerprint that so many pro-prosecution pundits like to point to as proof of guilt may have gotten put on that magazine in front of the grand jury and not during the time the accuser claims he was shown it by Jackson. According to a report from MSNBC’s Jennifer London, the defense brought out in court that the magazine with the accuser’s fingerprint on it wasn’t tested for fingerprints until summer 2004, AFTER the grand jury had already handed down an indictment. From London’s report:

JENNIFER LONDON: …However, under cross-examination today, one of the detectives revealed that fingerprints of the accuser were not lifted from one of the magazines until after the grand jury proceedings. The significance: the defense claims the accuser’s fingerprints got on that magazine because he touched it during the grand jury testimony. (see vid)

There was also more information about this adult material. Some of the magazines prosecutors entered into evidence wasn’t dated until 4 months AFTER the alleged “molestation” was supposed to have occurred. That would make the publication date anywhere from June 2003 to July 2003. As you know, this was long after the accusing family had left Neverland for good. More from London’s report:

LONDON: …One of the investigators did say that on a couple of the magazines, the publication dates were at least 4 months after the prosecution says the alleged molestation occurred.

As Accuser’s Story Falls Apart, More Excuses are Made – MiniBullet #14 MARCH 15 2005 — Day two of the cross-examination (cross) of Gavin Arvizo revealed so many substantial inconsistencies that pro-prosecution apologists couldn’t come up with enough excuses to explain them away. From the beginning of yesterday’s (March 14 2005) cross-examination, the accuser started off as argumentative, “petulant” and unresponsive on the witness stand. Those who were in the courtroom describe a very different accuser than the one prosecutors tried to show the jury under direct questioning. That Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde theory spoken about earlier certainly is at play under defense cross. According to published reports, more than 60 fans arrived early for court today. They undoubtedly would have also been cheering in the courtroom if that were permitted as well. Jackson attorney Tom Mesereau – with the obvious support of the defense team members Robert Sanger, Susan Yu, Brian Oxman and defense investigators – began to ask the hard questions that Sneddon had been able to hide the accuser from until now. But really, this “case” shouldn’t have ever materialized. The longer this nonsense drags on, the more disgusted one gets with writing about it because realistically, anyone else wouldn’t have been prosecuted. Maybe this is to Jackson’s advantage; a way to clear his name in the courts and in the court of public opinion. But in this specific “case”, there are TOO many things wrong with the accuser’s story, TOO many inconsistencies, TOO many contradictions, and TOO many convenient excuses for any of them to be sheer coincidence. Every crackpot — from wanna-be Jackson lawyers to commentators who simply want Jackson to be guilty no matter if the allegation is legitimate — are still acting as blind as can be about the facts coming out in court.
