Creating Accusers Could Backfire on Desperate Prosecution MJEOL Bullet #255
By bringing in ridiculous, witness-come-lately allegations, the prosecution may be giving Jackson a chance to go after old tabloid rumors
APRIL 1 2005 — There is an old saying Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Someone should have made sure prosecutors in the Michael Jackson so-called case were aware of this before they talked Judge Rodney Melville into allowing in previous allegations-come-lately by what some observers have called a gang of crooks who had their hands out in 1993.
First, its important to note what prosecutors want to do. They want to introduce allegations from witnesses who claimed they saw Jackson molest kids. These witnesses are former employees each with a negative history of their own with Jackson. Neither of these people called the police at the time they allegedly saw a crime in progress.
The prosecution isnt going to have 5 accusers come in to testify. They dont even have 5 accusers. Hes going to have 9 employees come in to say that they witnessed molestation, and one accuser whose mother is already on record denying the allegation.
Now, why they said nothing at the time or why Jackson wasnt charged with any of these miraculously remembered molestations from ex-employees is beyond a number of observers. So, we are now supposed to believe that not only is Jackson a child molester, but that he routinely molests children in front of people?! In internet language: WTF??
Second, the majority of these named young adults have never even made an allegation against Jackson. Yep, you read correctly. The prosecution by way of these crackpot witnesses will create victims when there are none. Whats worse is that two mothers who are supposed to be testifying, Blanca Francia and June Chandler have problems of their own.
For example, the 1993 accuser filed for emancipation and hasnt spoken to his mother, reportedly, in the past 12 years. A number of people arent surprised at all that the judge allowed these non-allegations into this current nonexistent case.The prosecution has been allowed a considerable amount of free-reign in this trial.
With that said, the defense has thrown down the gauntlet by promising that these miraculously recovered allegations will turn into full blown trials because they plan to vigorously and thoroughly challenge these witnesses in every way, shape and form.
In Jacksons case, calling what Judge Rodney Melville allowed into this trial prior bad acts didnt fit. What this 1108 evidence amounted to was a bunch of unfounded accusations with zero evidence to back them up, leveled by a gang of people who were literally sued into bankruptcy by Jackson.
