Tom Mesereau was/is a true friend of Michael. God bless him.
True, yet people never question why. They just assume that, since he was his defence lawyer, he had to say "nice" things about him. This is not the case, however. Lawyers will often have to defend guilty people, for it is part of the profession. Once the case goes to court, the facts [or in this case, lack thereof] are revealed and the lawyer gets the whole picture, not just the defendant/prosecution's side. Even though they are fighting for prosecution/acquittal, they're not ignorant and can tell if a person was indeed guilty through putting two and two together.
Once the case is over and they acquit their client or lose the case, a lawyer who is unsure of his client's integrity or flat-out convinced that he was guilty despite his acquittal will no doubt want nothing further to do with such an undesirable person. Rightly, they have no such duties to that person once the trial has come to an end.
Thomas, however, ALWAYS spoke highly of Michael and even attended his memorial service. This is a highly educated person who has seen everything there is to see about the Michael Jackson case and his demeanour towards his past client is a very important indicator here. He has no reason to speak highly of Michael after the trial's end and, given the approval that the media-dispensed attitude about Michael gets, has nothing to gain from doing so. Therefore, one can safely say that Thomas' good opinion about Michael is an important indicator of his innocence.
Yes, he was a true friend of Michael's because Michael was a beautiful person, not a monster, like the media tried to sell him as.
If only people would care to look deeper into the case. The prosecution's case is filled with contradictions/inconsistencies/blatant lies. People are too stupid to realize that they too have minds of their own and can investigate things for themselves. They don't have to rely on the media and sham reporters to get their opinions about current events.
