I thought this would be the most appropriate place to share this...
I am going to bring a guy from work to the gym with me on Tues. and today we started talking about Michael.. He is convinced he's guilty - I wanted to discuss it right then but he told me to save it for the gym!!
So my question to you is - If you had this opportunity what facts would you want to make sure to NOT leave out.. he's a smart guy so I am hoping he'll be open
Depending on the case, as really one trip to the Gym won't be enough to tell it all... The two main ones... Off the top of my head...
Chandler - Evan Chandler's first port of call when Jordy 'confessed' was to meet with MJ and his lawyer, HUG the man who molested his son, then lay out his extortion plan.
Note MJ settled a civil lawsuit which the LAW encourages. Nobody was silenced, like the media say. The Chandlers never wanted justice. Instead they took money, then Evan's brother attempted to sell a book about the supposed abuse and then Evan tried to sue MJ again wanting more money and to make a music album about his son's supposed abuse!
Why settle if not guilty he'll probably ask. Many reasons. However, first of all, the cliche 'an innocent person doesn't settle' is a load of nonsense. Otherwise every single party ever accused, who chose to settle a case, is guilty then? Nobody ever successfully extorted money from somebody then? The answer to both cases is no.
Note that MJ's health had deteriorated. MJ wanted the criminal trial to come before the civil, this was denied... this is a big point. Given if a man was guilty why the heck would he want the criminal trial to come first? Had the civil case gone to trial MJ would of had to lay his defence strategy on the table, giving the prosecution an advantage in the criminal case. Also, civil trial verdicts don't have to be unanimous. MJ would of lost the case, 51-49... yet that would of been used against him in the criminal trial.
Mesereau also had witnesses that would testify in 2005, if Jordy testified himself, to say that he told them nothing happened.
Arvizo -
Michael Jackson knew the family and boy in question since 2000... in 2003 the Martin Bashir documentary airs. Up until this point, no abuse was alleged. The story goes that Michael Jackson never touched the boy for almost three years yet, with the media in overdrive, child services investigating and police also investigating. We're meant to believe MJ decides... 'I'm not guilty, yet I'll make myself guilty and touch the boy'? It makes no sense whatsoever.
Add to this, MJ had been around numerous children yet chooses a cancer patient?! And this was no sort of sick 'sexual fantasy' of molesting a boy suffering from cancer, as the molestation was never alleged then. So why the heck would a paedophile wait for a boy to recover from cancer?!
Another aspect is the family being 'imprisoned' at Neverland... yet somehow, the Mother, Janet 'Houdini' Arvizo, managed to escape numerous times for spa treatments and to buy clothing costing over $3000 at MJ's expense. During the times Janet managed to 'escape' she told nobody at all about it.
Five co-conspirators were claimed to of helped MJ imprison the family and basically aid him in molesting Gavin... yet not a single one of them was indicted. Makes sense!
There's obviously more to the cases, but I'd say these aspects would make him think twice... provided he's not dead set on a man being guilty.
