Hughes Responds to Ray Chandler – MJEOL Bullet #197

Hughes Responds to Ray Chandler As Questions about the Authenticity of Certain Signatures and Audiotapes Surface – MJEOL Bullet #197 Geraldine Hughes, the writer of the book Redemption: The Truth Behind the Michael Jackson Child Molestation Allegations, has informally responded to the defamatory and one-sided tall tale recently being pushed by Ray Chandler (Charmatz).

In MJEOL Bullet #192-C, Part 3: Ray Chandler Provides More Lies to Dateline, we discussed a few of things that Chandler is claiming, and information from Hughes’s eye-witness accounts during the 1993 investigation.

Yesterday (September 13 2004) Geraldine Hughes responded to Chandler questioning her credibility. She says she’s heard that Chandler has wanted to write a book for at least 6 years now and she finds it interesting that Chandler has decided to release it at this time. She says of Chandler:

It is interesting that he tries to discredit all of my main points which I content proves the extortion theory, as opposed to child molestation. However, he refers to the transcripts and when you read them for yourself, they are validating exactly what I am saying happened. (see Redemption v. All That Glitters, I Stand Confidently Behind Redemption)

Part 3: Ray Chandler Provides More Lies to Dateline – MB#192-C

Part 3: Ray Chandler Provides More Lies to Dateline, Other Outlets – MB#192-C
Another Dateline ‘Special’ that turned out not to be so special

Another Dateline “special” aired last night, September 12 2004, with the interview of Raymond Chandler (Charmatz); chock full of distortions, inaccuracies, one-sided conversations and allegations of Jackson being the “devil”. No, I’m not kidding.

Knowing that Jackson cannot respond to the old allegation, Ray Chandler is scheduled to be on numerous programs defaming Jackson and trying to turn himself into a saint by attempting to convince parents not let their children around Michael Jackson.

We won’t rehash all of the tired, sorry story from Chandler as you’ll be hearing from the opportunist enough this week; right ahead of the current accuser’s mother set to testify in court on September 17 2004.

Ray Chandler leaks documents that he only could have gotten from the accuser’s father or other people subject to the confidentiality agreement, and claims that these documents prove molestation. The “documents” are simply the unchallenged, un-crossed-examined, unfounded allegations initially made by the accuser. Nothing more; and certainly nothing proving guilt on Jackson’s part.

R. Chandler has also claimed that he isn’t in this for money. Yeah sure. Why not give the book away for free then? Apparently he expects to profit off of being an agent of someone who has obviously broken the confidentiality agreement from 1993.

The big deal about this latest media whoring is that we don’t get to hear Michael Jackson’s recordings. We don’t get to see Michael Jackson video(s) concerning this case. We don’t get to read court documents telling Jackson’s side of the situation. We also don’t get to read sworn testimony from a number of people who, sources say, have an incredibly different story to tell than the one ‘Uncle Ray’ is now trying to sell the public.

Prosecutors Used 1993 Investigation to Get Search Warrants – MB #196

Prosecutors Used 1993 Investigation to Get Search Warrants, Indictment in Current Case – MJEOL Bullet #196 Defense wants prosecutors to hand-over info from the 93 investigation and references exculpatory evidence found during that investigation The defense has asked the judge in the Michael Jackson “case” to make prosecutors hand over documents and exonerating evidence from the 1993-94 investigation. Prosecutors have been ignoring the defense and dragging their feet in turning over these materials, called “discovery”, since this “case” began.

It was learned through the defense’s Motion to Compel Discovery that prosecutors used information from the 1993 investigation to obtain search warrants in THIS “case”. Prosecutors also presented info of the 1993 investigation to the grand jury in THIS “case” as well.

The judge had initially ordered prosecutors to turn over info form the 93-94 ransacking of Neverland before now. Apparently prosecutors used old layouts from the 93 raid as well when raiding Jackson’s house in November 2003.

This is astonishing information because for months the public has been told by “sources close to the investigation,” through tabloid reporter Diane Dimond and others, that prosecutors had a “strong case” and that this “case” can “stand on its own.” Oh really? Obviously this is not true since they had to use info from the old 93 investigation to get search warrants and to convince grand jurors to hand down an indictment against Jackson in THIS “case”.

Fmr. Sheriff Allowed to Taint Jury Pool by Judge? – MJEOL Bullet #195

Fmr. Sheriff Allowed to Taint Jury Pool by Judge? – MJEOL Bullet #195 In late news yesterday (September 10 2004), the judge in the Michael Jackson “case” has essentially allowed the former sheriff of Santa Barbara, Jim Thomas, to continue to taint the potential jury pool by refusing to hold a hearing to decide whether he should fall under the gag order in the “case”.

Thomas, who is currently an “analyst” for NBC, recently appeared on a defamatory Dateline NBC report in which he claimed there was evidence against Jackson in 1993. He, however, provided zero evidence or documentation speaking to the allegation. He is also a source regarding an alleged $2M settlement in 1990. Again, he provided zero documentation or other evidence speaking to that allegation either.

Thomas was the sheriff in 1993 and is a “crony” of Tom Sneddon, according to sources. While he clearly should fall under the gag order, the judge has refused to hold a hearing on the matter.

Controversy Brewing Over False Statements from Dimond, Court TV – MB#194

Controversy Brewing Over False Statements from Dimond, Court TV – MJEOL Bullet #194 A controversy is brewing between Diane Dimond of Court TV and Karen Faye, Michael Jackson’s long time friend and makeup artist. On August 18 2004, Court TV’s Crier Live ran a video report from tabloid reporter Diane Dimond in which Dimond claimed the Attorney General of California’s investigators received information from “informants” that Faye falsified the huge bruise on Jackson’s arm. Not only were these defamatory statements false, but they were statements which paint Faye as a criminal.

This is what was said by Dimond during the Aug 17 report:

DIANE DIMOND [video report]: Court TV has learned, exclusively, much time was spent trying to find and question this woman: Karen Faye, Michael Jackson’s loyal, long-time make-up artist.

She’s seen here in a recent Fox special. According to confidential sources close to the investigation, informants told the AG’s office it was Faye who had actually applied makeup to create the bruise seen here on Jackson’s arm. And that it was all smoke and mirrors.
(see video)

Without providing the names of any of these “informants” or the name of the “source(s)” who “exclusively” told Court TV that the AG was searching for Faye, Dimond rather recklessly left a serious allegation of illegal activity hang out there for the public.

Police Lied to Young Children During 1993 Investigation?

REDEMPTION by Geraldine Hughes (Excerpt)
3.7 The Child Molestation Investigation – …Once the news of the investigation surfaced, it was quickly known that the tabloids were paying big bucks for anyone to come forth with any information, whether true or not. People began to come out of the woodwork with so-called eye witness stories of inappropriate behavior. None of this information was reported prior to the allegations being made public.
