Re: New one episode special to premiere on Oxygen about the trial.
Now what was the average joe supposed to make out of this?
The average Joe, meaning people like the jurors, especially if Sneddon's declaration was already available on the net during the trial could have asked some obvious questions like
1. If it was so accurate how come Sneddon didn't arrest and charge him? What was the point
of taking the photos if he doesn't charge him when the photos prove his guilt?
2. If MJ was guilty why did he cooperate with the police at all? Why didn't he settle with the Chandlers
right after he learned that Jordan gave a description of his body to the police? That was more than a
month before the strip search. A guilty person would have panicked and would have tried
to remove the Chandlers as prosecution witnesses at least at that point if not before.
3. Why didn't Sneddon try to introduce this as 1108 evidence when he introduced the books found in 1993
and all those ex employees? Why 1101 evidence at the end of the trial?
4. Why did Sneddon try to introduce the photos based on false pretenses, to rebut the defense's
argument that MJ was shy and modest and would not expose his body to boys. No such argument
was made during the trial therefore there was nothing to rebut and Sneddon knew it.
5. If Sneddon wanted to introduce the photos how come he didn't subpoena Chandler himself?
And if he did why doesn't Chandler, now a grown man, want to testify? He's not interested in protecting
other kids from a molester?
6. How could photos taken on Dec 20 1993 accurately match the description of MJ's body
as it looked in May June 1993, the period of the alleged molestation, when vitiligo can change the pigmented and depigmented areas randomly and quickly?
7. If as Sneddon said in his declaration "Jordan Chandler disclosed his DETAIL knowledge of the singular appearance of
Defendant's buttocks, genital area and his penis" and if all that was so accurate then how come Sneddon
himself only mentions one dark marking on the right side of Defendant's penis at about the relative
location as the dark blemish located by Jordan Chandler on his drawing. How the heck is that
a detailed and accurate description of said body parts?
How could one dark blemish be an accurate and detailed description of someone's genitalia and buttocks?
Especially when it was at "about the relative same location" as a spot supposedly drawn by Chandler?
and the icing on the cake:
Why does Sneddon talk about MJ's natural color as a blemish like he is a white man
with dark spots which don't belong there?
In a rational world Sneddon's last minute stunt should have helped MJ because it showed
that Sneddon was willing to do and say anything to prejudice the jury, knowing full well that Jordan
would not testify and the judge would not allow the jury to see the photos because it would
violate Mj's 6th amendment rights he still pretended that he wanted to introduce the photos because he knew
that the defense would object and it would look like MJ have something to hide.
And in case the judge would still allow it he ensured that he could not be accused of perjury with this
convenient escape:
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct except for
those statements made on information and belief and as to those statements
I believe them to be true.
