[Discussion] Sexual Abuse Claims Against MJ Estate - Robson/ Safechuck/ Doe

Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate

Apart from having to read pages and pages of debates (and some ridiculous arguments)........

Can somebody please tell me what's exactly going on in the trial/hearing thingy.

And are we close to seeing an ending to this?

Robson probate claim - summary judgment hearing is on April 21. I personally would expect the judge to take it under consideration and issue a ruling in 2-4 weeks.
Robson civil trial - second demurrer hearing is on June 30. I personally would expect the judge to rule on that day or within 2 weeks. Even if he grants the demurrer he can still give robson chance to amend his complaint.
Safechuck probate claim - second demurer hearing is on July 21.I personally would expect the judge to rule on that day or within 2 weeks. Even if he grants the demurrer he can still give safechuck chance to amend his complaint.

Best case scenario - assuming the judge dismisses everything with no option to amend - everything could be over by july/august (keep in mind either party can pursue an appeal). but it is also possible that there could be more rounds to this.

^ Maybe there should be a sticky topic with information for those who only come for news updates not for discussion.
 
Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate

^^ there used to be one I believe. I will look for it or start a new thread tonight. and if you all help me we can arrange a news only/ information only thread.

Does the Estate have to respond to the declarations? How does that work?
 
Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate

ok I found and resurrected the old news only thread and added the timeline and future events to it. Feel free to update it with news.

Does the Estate have to respond to the declarations? How does that work?

What do you mean by declarations? Do you mean amended complaints? If they want to get them dismissed, you would expect Estate to file demurrer and/or summary judgment motions against them.
 
Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate

What do you mean by declarations?


Both Robson and Safechuck filed sworn declarations, right?
Estate doesn't respond to those?
What was the point of those declarations if they are irrelevant to the issue of SOL?

Also, why do they need prosecution motions at this stage? To make the judge believe that
because there were people Sneddon quoted as witnesses Robson/Safechuck are telling the truth now and therefore the SOL should be ignored?

For one thing, if the judge is not completely idiot he will see that the Quindoys were never witnesses therefore Safechuck's claim that MJ called him
and needed him at the end of the trial is utterly ridiculous.

The declarations are not filed alone. Usually they are attached to support a motion. And the Estate will probably reply to those motions.

OK. But what's the point of filing declarations? Why did they do that?
Couldn't they include everything they wanted to say in their motions?
 
Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate

Respect is right, declarations are filed in support of a motion. Motions have a very standard style. declarations is like an supplemental information provided with the motion. Estate replies to the motion + supplemental filings as a whole.

as for the judge and what he will do. At this stage it's not his job to determine validity or the credibility of the evidence or the witnesses. he is just trying to determine if there is an exception to allow a late claim.

The above item is currently up for auction with Julien's: I thought Michael's added wording was very prescient.

'For animation, create a gull who is a student of Jonathan, who admires Jonathan's flying ability but grows jealous and leaves the (training) to return to the flock to conspire to kill Jonathan Seagull'.

For 'conspire to kill' read 'conspire to kill the reputation of'......



I can see why this story resonated so much with Michael. It could be a symbol of HIS life.

Yes that's my understanding too. But then why the heck do they want prosecution motions?

Could be strategy to drag on the case. Could be strategy to try to prejudice the Judge. But we can't know for sure what it is until we do not see the legal arguments. At that October 1 hearing they were going on about Chandler and "prior bad acts" despite of the Judge telling them he does not see the relevance for statutes of limitations. But Marzano still said they somehow needed to "prove" MJ's modus operandi with this or something like that. To me it seems like they are just trying everything and anything. It does not mean all of those things have a relevance to their argument of statutes, it may be a strategy of throwing in everything and see what sticks.
 
Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate

But Marzano still said they somehow needed to "prove" MJ's modus operandi

Which is ridiculous if one compares the Chandler and the Robson/Safechuck stories. They couldn't be more different.
Chandler talked about months of grooming and how MJ slowly "graduated" from kissing to blow jobs.
Robson claims that he wasn't groomed at all he was abused on the second day he was in Neverland while his entire family was in the house
and his sister in the same bed! Makes sense.

There is no porn in the Chandler story at all. Robson says MJ showed him porn,of course in 2005 he denied even knowing about MJ's collection.
There is obviously no rape or any other brutal acts in the Chandler story either in fact it is MJ who supposedly cried when Jordan told him not to kiss him
and said that MJ told him repeatedly that he would never hurt him.
So is this the same guy who triggered a flashbulb to scare Safechuck and did it again even after it made him cry?

Chandler talked about MJ telling him it's our secret and we put it in our own box and those who do not levitate don't understand what we are doing,
no "our lives would be over" there in fact Chandler seemed to have a hard time remembering that MJ told him he would go to juvenile hall if someone found out what they were doing.


Just like with the Francia story where he and only he was tickled all the other accusers say radically different stories
with a few elements taken from publicly available sources like Safechuck's duck butter and "secret room".

They tried to make the case that MJ wanted a memento from Arvizo. Well, why didn't he bother with that with the other "victims"?
Chandler nowhere mentions alcohol does that mean he liked to be molested so MJ didn't need to intoxicate him but he needed to do that with Arvizo?

Safechuck and the whole marriage nonsense. Didn't the Chandlers insinuate that MJ was madly in love with Jordan?
So why didn't he want to marry him?
Or Robson for that matter?
Why Safechuck?

These stories are all over the place and if this goes to trial I actually would like the jury to look at all five of them and compare them to
see that these things were not committed by the same person but invented by different people.

And I wonder how they would try to reconcile the person in this story with a person who supposedly was eager to show porn to Arvizo and Robson and Safechuck:

'We were just hanging out. We used to watch the porn channel because we were 10 and like: "Oh my God, tits!"' Mark said on Channel 4's Sunday Night Project.

'Me and Sean said: "Michael, do you want to see something cool?" We turned the dial to the porn channel and there were strippers. We were like: "Michael, Michael, how cool is this?"

'We turned around and he was cringing, saying: "Ooh stop it, stop it, it's so silly."

http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebr...ichael-jackson-watch-porn#hA3y0Ph5tEqVCwIE.99

Of course Mark Ronson didn't have any reason to lie. Arvizo and Safechuck and Robson do.

^ Yes, I agree. Despite of them trying to take some elements from the earlier allegations, this would be the most patternless abuser ever. And you know, especially the development of the porn story shows very well how these allegations are formed:

- The first accuser, Jordan never claimed such a thing because at the time no one was aware of MJ having such stuff.
- Jason Francia never claimed such a thing because at the time no one was aware of MJ having such stuff.
- Then Arvizo and his brother break into MJ's room, find his porn stuff and all of a sudden it's part of a molestation story.
- Robson never knew about the porn on the stand in 2005, but now all of a sudden claims he was shown porn.
- And finally Safechuck takes it to another level: it wasn't just hetero porn, but child porn as well - even though no such stuff was ever found in MJ's possession.

So what is more likely? That the guys who made their allegations in the above mentioned order took stories from each other, from the previous accusers (and further embellished it - like Safechuck does) and that is why we do not see any porn mention before the Arvizos, or that MJ had this patternless pattern?

- Showing not only hetero porn but also child porn to Safechuck.
- Showing hetero porn to Robson.
- Not showing anything to Jason Francia.
- Not showing anything to Jordan Chandler. (Additionally see the story below.)
- And yes, we can also add that Mark Ronson story: MJ cringing when him and Sean Lennon try to show MJ some porn on TV.
- 10 years later again showing porn to Gavin.

BTW, consider this story too. It is told by a guy called Paul Hernandez who worked at a comic book store where MJ and Jordan paid visit:


He said that Michael showed up in a black SUV with Jordan and an assistant. He said that Michael walked over to a wall of superhero toys and since Paul was in charge of that section he was tasked to help Michael. He would walk through the store pointing to items saying, I want this, I want that, I won five of these, I want five of those –ect. But when Paul went to pull the items off the shelves for Michael, Michael told him –no, no he can do it. (Meaning the assistant) he said that Michael never asked the price of anything and would even purchase overpriced products and point out store displays.

He said the Golden Apple is a huge store on Melrose. Not only do they have comic books and action figures but the place really is over the top -- movie props, incredibly rare/cool items. The store was frequented by celebrities including: Richard Grieco, Mark Hamel, John Singleton and Samuel L. Jackson.

He said that Samuel L.Jackson was there when Michael came in and asked him, “Is that Michael Jackson?”

He said that Michael was a huge Spiderman fan but that he hadn't read much of the new Spiderman comics-- he generally would read the old ones he had on hand. Jordan was into the flash comics in the flash action figures. He said that Michael told them that he was interested in the comics/items that didn't have too much violence or graphic material. He bought multiples of certain items because he used them in gift bags for the children they visited Neverland.

He also started telling me about how Jordan started walking over to the adult section

Paula: you said that Jordan started wandering over to the adult book section and that Michael didn't want him over there, right?

Paul: he was wandering over there, he didn't know what it was but --it was behind a door, we had like these swinging doors that if you walked to the back of the store and went through the swinging doors --that's where the adult books were. They were inside this little tiny room at the Golden Apple and Jordan had wandered back there and I said, you really don't want to go over there -- you know-- there's nothing really good over there and Michael said, what’s over there? And I said well it's like the adult books, the X-rated books. I don't remember if I said adult or X-rated but Michael said Jordan, and Jordan went over there {to where Michael was}and Michael said, Jordan don't go near that section and he said that's where the bad books are. I remember he did say “bad books’ you know and Jordan said he, he. He liked giggled ya know … he acted like he was moving over there and he {Michael} said, I'm serious Jordan if you go near there I'm not going to buy you anything --- and he {Jordan} said, No, no, okay, okay

Paula: Was it like Playboys or comic type graphic material?

Paul: Comic book stuff like ya know...Fabulous freak brothers, cherry pop tart and anything that had nudity --Stuff the store didn't want kids to see.

Paula: I think back then they even had x-rated cartoons, lol, if I remember correctly.

Paul: lol, yeah ... it was mostly graphic novels. We didn’t get too many people or at lease at the time, people that bought trash mags. Some of them are called trash mags that are just hard-core drawings with just ya know sex.We usually carried a lot of French adapted graphic novels and they had nudity in them. So we put them back there-- anything like that, any kind of nudity in them-- they went in that section.

Same is true for alcohol. Jordan or Francia never mentions alcohol. The Arvizos break into MJ's cellar and then it becomes a part of the molestation myth (and how the media loved the "Jesus Juice" soundbite, didn't they?) and now Safechuck claims it too. How interesting. MJ supposedly made him drink, but not Jordan or Francia (and I think Robson didn't make any allegations about alcohol either). Supposedly giving kids alcohol is his modus operandi, yet between Safechuck and Arvizo (10-15 years apart) he never gives alcohol to any kid.

And in fact, the same is true of the nature of the allegations. Supposedly he molests Safechuck over 100 times and anal rapes Robson, but then later he does just some lot milder stuff on Jordan and Gavin. And there is a 10 year gap between Jordan and Gavin. He cannot wait and molests Robson on the first night they are alone, but later with Jordan and Gavin we have a long build-up period. Well from everything I read about pedophiles it doesn't work like that. In fact, they escalate over time not the opposite.

I totally agree with you that if Robson wants to talk about patterns and bring in earlier allegations for that it may backfire for them more than support their case. Because there is just no pattern in it. The only pattern emerging from all this shows how accusers took claims from each other and kept escalating their claims - in the order of them making allegations. But when we put their allegations in the order of how they followed each other in MJ's life it becomes a patternless mess. How interesting, isn't it? LOL.

I think it's clear they're trying drag the attention off the SOL to other things because the law is not on their side and they don't have a good explanation anyway or they're just stalling in hope to find something.

They work in two areas - They raise the media attention with sensational "new details" and in court they go ahead with the case on their own and go straight to the evidence part. I think the lawyers try to make it look like an actual trial before it even gets a ruling. See if the issue is not them being horribly late with the filing and they start to discuss evidences like Blanca allegedly seeing MJ in the shower with an invisible "small figure" that could be Wade for example they might have the upper hand, remember few months ago they mentioned in their complaint the judge has to take everything Wade claims as the truth and it's not his job to question him? It's true but there are several things that needs to be established first. It's an unusual lawsuit against a deceased man.

Of course, just because they do these things don't mean the judge will let it happen. He has to follow the laws but for them it has to be done because they're desperate. I doubt they thought it would take that long for the case to be approved... Or settled.
 
Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate

If they are doing that does the Estate introduce exculpatory evidence like Robson's testimonies, Safechuck's police interview,
Francia's sworn deposition, the Quindoy's tabloid history and their lawsuit against MJ even the PBS documentary where a guy talks about the Quindoys
saying nothing but good things about MJ, that he was just a nice guy with kids, their interview with Geraldo where they are so positive about MJ,
Charlie Michael's Hard Copy interview and her being part of the lawsuit against MJ and the whole absurdity that MJ would do these things
out in the open where everyone could see him?

I think the judge will tell them himself it's irrelevant. Like he did when they talked about Chandler.

But if he thinks it's irrelevant why the heck did he allow discovery?
 
Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson / James Safechuck file claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate

We both discussed it 5 pages ago didn't we? :) I don't know why but it could be they gave him a different reason for why they needed it and it's also possible he allows them things so they won't say later "It would have been proven if the judge didn't deny the discovery". Do we know on what ground they asked for it?

I don't see any other reason but to prejudice the judge so he won't care about the SOL. That's why I'd like to know whether the Estate introduced exculpatory evidence.
Of course the media never reports it, I'd like to be sure that the Estate knows about it.

Like this for example:

Hard to see how anyone would talk like this, with all smiles, when they know he is a child molester.

^^If sharing bed with our pet friends was a crime, many of us would be accused of bestiality since sharing bed with children equates to sexually abuse them . :doh:

Some more stuff about the Quindoys to make your head spin
Watch from 24:25


The Daily Mirror reporter who talked to the Quindoys two/three years before
the Chandler scandal. Precisely when Safechuck was visiting the ranch.

"They didn't have a bad word to say about the guy.
Not one bad thing. Nothing, absolutely nothing.
That he was just a kind man with children, basically.

They're two people I would not trust at all. I think they really have come to
tear Michael Jackson down for the mighty dollar.
Now they see money being offered around and they want some more."

I realize that my comments regarding opportunity being a legal strategy for the Chandlers’ legal team –provided the civil trial proceedings continued and fortunately, they did not – should not have been expressed on this forum. While such legal strategies were successfully and respectfully discussed during that time, it is quite clear that such a discussion cannot be duplicated with members here. The discussion was (and remains) sensitive because the subject matter was incendiary and somewhat complicated. It required all discussion participants to remain within the set boundaries of the scenarios that in some cases were hypothetical. Responses here expressing befuddlement of legal strategy, expanding recklessly beyond the boundaries of a hypothetical scenario, and encouraging disrespectful retorts due to one's (several) lack of clarity have made it clear to me I should not and will not continue this discussion with any member here.

Respect77, Robson said what he said on the Today show. I never stated my view regarding his statements and I am not going to despite your demand. I explained what an impaired memory was. I have no need or interest in twisting your words. Tis interesting you felt a need to backtrack and explain that you were referring to Weitzman’s defense of the estate and not Mesereau’s defense of Michael (Michael does not have a defender; his memory has several defenders). I truly hope Weitzman does not have to defend the estate against Robson/Safechuck.

Castor, impairment means damaged. Damaged memory can occur from manipulation and brainwashing. You are correct in that the opposing legal strategies did not appear on the verdict form in the AEG civil trial. However; I would suggest you review the opposing legal strategies as per the transcripts or other such source for clarification because coercion of the doctor was discussed at length in court.

Barbee0715, your post is quite dramatic! However; as I stated above, I would suggest you as well review the opposing legal strategies as per the transcripts or other such source for clarification because coercion of the doctor was discussed at length in court. You will also gain clarity on how the defense portrayed Michael as an addict who used his celebrity to coerce the doctor and other medical professionals.

Ivy, I never said sexual abuse civil trials equated to simpler victories. Tis interesting that Krizkil, who professed to have spent a life in the U.S. legal system, could not assist in clarifying the probability scale I posted. Yes the probability is 50% for a victorious civil trial regardless of subject matter. What you and others seem to continually disregard is the third component which is the offer of judgment rule. This despite others stating Robson/Safechuck’s legal team is attempting to force a settlement. This often overlooked rule by some members increases the chances of a monetary award for a plaintiff.

Tygger,

I asked you a simple question regarding this statement you have made:

Robson’s legal team has already laid the foundation that Robson’s memory was impaired which would be presented by his legal team as he did not fabricate his testimony. In other words: he believed his testimony at the time to be true and he currently believes differently.

You DID say "he believed his testimony at the time to be true and he currently believes differently" and you did say with that his legal team "laid the foundation that Robson’s memory was impaired which would be presented by his legal team as he did not fabricate his testimony".

You giving a definition about what you mean by "impaired memory" or you referring me back to Robson's lies and logically incoherent claims on Today Show does nothing for explaining how is it possible in your view. It was you who said "he believed his testimony at the time to be true and he currently believes differently" - that's why I am asking YOU to explain, for example through the shower example how is that possible, other than repressed memory.

There is no way out of it for Robson other than having to "admit" that he deliberately perjured himself on the stand. Of course, he did not perjure himself in reality. He told the truth then and is telling lies now. But if he wants to say now that his testimony in 2005 was not true then he has to admit to deliberately lying under oath. There is no other way. Whatever reason he gives for that (being brainwashed etc.) is another matter, but you are simply wrong about him being able to get out of it by saying "he believed his testimony at the time to be true". With such direct questions as the shower, the porn, the crotch-grab there is no room for "beliefs" and other than repressed memory, there is no way for him to claim that in 2005 he believed what he said about not being in the shower with MJ, but he believes now that he was in the shower with him. He will have to admit to deliberately "lying" about such things in 2005 if he wants to embrace those stories now. There is no other way.

And in the first part of your post you completely miss the point on what people's problems were with some of your statments in this thread.
