Prosecutors Whining After Obtaining Numerous Search Warrants – MJEOL Bullet #225 After reportedly obtaining 100 search warrants, now prosecutors want the judge in limit the defense’s access to material to defend their client In court documents released November 19 2004, the prosecution is asking judge Rodney Melville to stop the defense from requesting relevant material about the accusing family. Earlier the judge granted the defense’s Teal motion. The motion allows the defense to subpoena and talk to witnesses without prosecutors knowing. Prosecutors are now actually claiming that the defense has “grossly abused the process of the court in issuing subpoenas duces tecum in this case, both by seeking information that could not possibly lead to evidence relevant to his defense” and violating constitutional rights to privacy. (Pg 2 of motion) These preposterous statements are coming from prosecutors who have obtained between 90 and 100+ search warrants in this “case” against Jackson. Talk about invasion of privacy! Some case observers are absolutely astonished that these search-warrant-happy prosecutors would now complain about Jackson’s attorneys wanting to know more information about the accusing family’s past.

1993 Investigation Not a Problem for Defense? – MJEOL Bullet #224

What makes the news media think Jackson or his defense team is scared of the possibility of the 1993 accuser being called to testify in the current “case”, if it makes it to trial?

Jackson’s Finances Topic of Nonsensical Discussion – MJEOL Bullet #223 Recent reports speculate about Jackson’s finances with conflicting and contradictory information It wasn’t a shock that self-proclaimed Jackson know-it-all and Fox reporter Roger Friedman is out, again, with another article professing to know details of Jackson’s personal finances. He and other reporters have been riding this story into the ground for at least the past two years, alleging everything from ‘Jackson is on the very of bankruptcy’ to ‘Jackson will sell Neverland any day now’. None of these pipe dreams from those mired in the cesspool of inaccurate information have come to fruition. They also seem to sidestep the fact that none of their claims have come true to date by finding a mythical savior that always seems to swoop into Jackson’s life just in time to save him from bankruptcy…until the next resurrection of their “Jackson is broke” series of articles. How convenient. That’s why the recent article from Friedman, and assertions from former leeches, come as no surprise to those who have heard the claims before. The desire to be the one to say ‘I told you so’ of course is overshadowed by one simple fact: Jackson’s finances are simply none of our damn business.

Ex Jackson Leech Sues Just in Time for Boxset Release – MJEOL Bullet #222 An ex-employee, thrown from the Jackson gravy train months ago, is now suing Jackson for $3M according to ABC News. This lawsuit comes just in time because Jackson’s boxset was released today (Nov 16 2004). Well what’s a Jackson CD release without some loser trying to negatively affect his life…just for good measure? If you remember, Jackson’s Neverland Ranch “just so happened” to be raided on the same day Jackson’s Number Ones CD was released last year (Nov 18 2003). Now almost a year later, another CD release and a defamatory lawsuit. What a coincidence, huh? Porn producer, and probably a Fox 411 “source”, Marc Schaffel claims he has been stiffed by Jackson. Oddly enough (or maybe not), Schaffel and others who have sued Jackson and have been unsuccessful only seem to do so once their access to him—his fame, and the ability to broker secret side-deals on his behalf without him ever knowing it—have been cut off. Schaffel has complained that neither he nor ex-spokesman Stuart Backerman have had access to Jackson. Those two, thick as thieves, are also trying to sell a “tell all” book about Jackson. Surprise, surprise.
