Jermaine Jackson says his family had a plan in place to help his brother Michael flea the country ... if MJ had been found guilty of child molestation back in 2005.

JJ told the London Times the plan was for Michael to head to Bahrain, which does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S.

He said a plane was on call to whisk Michael away if need be ... but MJ knew nothing about the plan. He says he thought the family could have convinced Michael to go along with it.

Jermaine told the paper, "If they were going to sit and crucify my brother for something that he didn't do, America deserves us not to come back here."

Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine has revealed a plan to secretly fly his sibling to Bahrain if he was found guilty of child molestation charges, it was reported.
The 56-year-old said a private jet financed by a friend was on standby to whisk the pop star to the Persian Gulf state, which does not have an extradition treaty with the US, if Michael had been convicted at the end of his 2005 court case.
In an interview with The Times Magazine, Jermaine said: "If they were going to sit and crucify my brother for something that he didn't do, America deserves us not to come back here.
"At the end of the day, this is supposed to be the land of the brave, home of the free, democracy, freedom of speech.
"The way they were treating him, none of that existed. Why should he go to jail for something he didn't do?"
Jermaine, a former Jackson 5 member, said his younger brother was not aware of the escape plot but would have agreed to flee America "in a heartbeat" because he would have not survived in jail.
The global star, who died in June 2009, was accused of molesting 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo, conspiring to kidnap him and his family and giving him alcohol, but was found not guilty of all charges following a four-month trial.

Jermaine reveals he wanted Michael to escape America if he was sentenced to jail and had even lined up a private jet to fly him to Bahrain.


In his new book, You Are Not Alone: Michael Through A Brother's Eyes, he explains, "I grab the hotel phone and make a call. The person on the other end of the line provides the reassurance that I needed to hear one more time. Yes, the private jet is still available. Yes, it can be at Van Nuys airport. Yes, everything has been arranged.


"All that is required is a day's notice, and this DC8 will have Michael heading east - to Bahrain - to start a new life away from the scam of American justice.


"After this charade, I'm happy to disown my citizenship and take Michael, and his family, to a place where they can't touch him... We have the backer - a dear friend. We have the pilot. Everything is prepared. There is no way my brother - an innocent man - is going to jail for this, He wouldn't survive, and I cannot sit back and even contemplate the possibility, let alone the reality."


The book has been serialized in Britain's The Times and Jermaine tells the publication, "If they were going to sit and crucify my brother for something that he didn't do, America deserves us not to come back here.


"At the end of the day, this is supposed to be the land of the brave, home of the free, democracy, freedom of speech. The way they were treating him, none of that existed. Why should he go to jail for something he didn't do?"


Michael Jackson was cleared of all charges at his 2005 trial.

--------------------

Why this moron "reveals" this right now???
Is this proper time? a Tribute gig is not by him, but claiming BS about things that happened ages ago... thats fine?

Jermaine is a psychopath and fans should definitely and completely boycott him and all his activities and erase his name from any association with a name - Michael Jackson.

People are having repeatedly the reason to think of MJ as the worst person on planet, because of such morons like Jermaine.

The family should have kept his legacy, but... they are doing anything else but not that....

I have my opinions about Jermaine. But I don't believe he said any of this. I mean, this is way over the top, even for him. And if he did say it, then he has totally flipped. This is all just my opinion.

Oh, no he didn't! Did he? Could he really have said such absurds things?
 
Re: A psycho Jermaine reveals escape plan

Why doesn't he just shut up?

Had Michael found guilty he would have been led away in cuffs right away. No chance of escaping.
 
Re: A psycho Jermaine reveals escape plan

OMG If this is real it's way too stupid!!! If MJ was found guilty he'll be behimd bars so fast that he wouldn't have time to breath!!!
 
Re: A psycho Jermaine reveals escape plan

Whatever........none of it is true anyway!!!

Jermaine did state those things in his book, go to the Jermaine thread about his book and you'll see a link there for you to read yourself. This is another case of foot in mouth, you do not always have to put 'everything' in a book, and this particular plan if true should've been kept out of the book. It for sure what the media will be running with throughout his interviews with them.
 
Re: A psycho Jermaine reveals escape plan

The escape plan allegedly set up by Jermaine, doesn't sound very good. It's already been pointed out in this thread, that if Michael was found guilty he would have been sent straight to jail. So there is no way that plan could have worked.

I personally never thought Michael would be found guilty as the trial was based on a case were the prosecution had zero evidence against Michael. Obviously the worry wasn't so much about the evidence, but if the jury would find Michael guilty because he's Michael Jackson. And I'm sure Michael would have found the whole verdict day very traumatic, knowing his fate lead in the hands of a bunch of strangers and that he was up for 10 counts. But common sense prevailed and Michael was found not guilty on all 10 counts.

I think it's possible Jermaine has exaggerated the whole Bahrain escape plan. If Michael was found guilty, I think he would have accepted his fate and gone to jail. The media always said Michael would rather kill himself than face trial etc, and Michael did face the trial and won. And proved the whole media wrong! ...... if Michael was to have escaped he would have had to do so before the trial had finished (just a Roman Polanski did). But would Michael have wanted to live a life that where a guilty verdict would the the media the right to call him every criminal name under the sun forever. I don't think so. Michael was brave, and he would have gone to jail and started focusing on an appeal for a retrial. The fact Michael never tried to escape etc, shows how confident Michael's defense team was in the trial going Michael's way.

I'm sure Jermaine was planing setting up a private plane for Michael to go to Bahrain during the trial. As it's a known fact Michael became associated with Bahrain through Jermaine, and that Michael did fly to Bahrain in a private plane straight after the trial. Where he lived for almost a year. I personally think Michael should have lived in Europe, and never returned to the USA. Because not only is the justice system corrupt, the medical service obviously isn't regulated enough which let's the likes of Conrad Murray keep his practice and obtain things that should only be used by surgeon's in hospital settings.
 
Re: A psycho Jermaine reveals escape plan

^So many of us said that Michael should not have left Ireland. He was happy there and as soon as he came back, Murray doctored him to death!!!

Jermaine, wanted something different and shocking that would show him as the protector of Michael. Hence he gave themf a plot he cooked up to free his little baby brother. As I said before, Jermaine was looking at too much TV.
 
Of course, the concern now is that media will warp this statement to read: "Michael Jackson's Secret Escape Plan," as if HE planned it, or even knew about it. IMHO, these statements by Jermaine could do a lot of damage, if the media talking heads run with it. How is it possible that Jerm did not know this could do damage? Or did he even care?
 
Oh man,the comments that i read regarding Jermain statemants are disgusting and painfull, especially on that yahoo site. Jesus, how can people be so ignorant and fool? i'm so disappointed to see that not much has changed regarding pubblics' perception on MJ and the allegations.Damn.
 
The only thing I thank God for is that Jermaine did not decide to say that Michael knew about it. If Jermaine could say that Michael was in a wheel chair as a stunt, while the bodyguards say otherwise, you really do not know how much of what he says is the truth. He lies about such simple things, that who can trust him when he talks about major issues? That is the problem when your credibility is in question--who are talking the truth, but few want to believe you.
 
Another instance of "Open Mouth Insert Foot!" by Jermaine Jackson. The excerpt from the book was beautifully written, and it seems like he was thinking this out of love for his brother. But when I read this first thing this morning, I had to ask out loud "Why is he saying/writing these things?" Even if it is the truth... you just dont go around announcing your illegal plan to the world! (No matter how noble your intentions.) I reallly wish he hadnt made this public. This sort of thing just casts more of a negative light on his brothers legacy.

I wouldnt be suprized if people begin to attempt to make connections between this and the "airport" comment Jermaine made during that radio interview in 09".

The media is just acknowledging by what Jermaine meant about this "escape plan!
Jackson Family Clarifies "Plan" to Help Michael Jackson Flee U.S. if Convicted - E! Online
You know what they say, the family that stays together...makes getaways together?

Well, at least for King of Pop Michael Jackson! Or maybe not...

After telling the London Times that the musical family planned to save the artist back in 2005 if he was convicted of child molestation, brother Jermaine Jackson's rep clarifies to E! News just exactly what he meant by "plan."

After telling the paper the game plan was for Michael to flee the country via a private jet to Bahrain, which does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S., Jermaine's rep Steve Dennis explains it wasn't meant to be taken literally.

Jermaine's rep explains: "It wasn't an actual plan, because if he was convicted, he would be handcuffed and put in jail." Adding, "It was an idea Michael was unaware of. It was supposed to be demonstrative of how desperate Jermaine was. He felt the justice system was so against Michael...He was determined to get him out, he was determined to save him from persecution [if convicted]."

The family's scheme, or "plan" if you will, is further detailed in Jermaine's book, You Are Not Alone: Michael Through a Brother's Eyes (to be published this week), which includes Jermaine's explanation of what drove the family to cook up a such radical scenario: "If they were going to sit and crucify my brother for something that he didn't do, America deserves us not to come back here."

Michael, who died in June 2009 at 50 after an overdose of the anaesthetic propofol, reportedly remained unaware of the plan as the star was found not guilty of all charges in June 2005 at the end of a four-month trial.

For me I don't care what "he really meant" or whatever... I just thing that once again he should keep his mouth shut... he says wanting to help Michael but all he's doing is putting him lower... at this point we are starting the trial to get justice for Michael and all of the news and media atm are stuck to this damn story that has to headline once again for everybody "oh btw if you don't remember, Jermaine is talking about the trial where Michael was charged for child molestation"!! ...Well done JerKmaine!!!

And on top of that, giving to haters and people who clearly are to lazy to read that Michael was the type of man who didn't care to follow the law as he wanted to escape... seriously, Jermaine has to stop!! It's getting old!!
