Jackson defense paints accuser's mom as welfare cheat, schemer


By Linda Deutsch
ASSOCIATED PRESS


3:50 p.m. May 23, 2005

SANTA MARIA – The defense in Michael Jackson's child molestation trial on Monday painted the mother of his accuser as a welfare cheat who exploited her son's cancer to get money and lived lavishly at Jackson's expense at a time she claims she was a captive.

The defense effectively put the mother on trial, calling witnesses to show a history of money schemes and her angry rejection of anyone who sought to help her with anything but cash.



The mother's former sister-in-law said her efforts to hold blood drives when the accuser was ill with cancer were dismissed by the mother, who called her and used profanity to denounce her.

"She told me that she didn't need my (expletive) blood," said the former sister-in-law, bursting into tears, "that she needed money." The defense, seeking to show that Jackson was another target of such schemes, called a flurry of witnesses as it neared the end of its case. Jackson's attorneys were expected to call comedian Jay Leno on Tuesday, although it was unknown if they would rest by the end of the day



Jackson, 46, is accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy in February or March 2003, giving him alcohol and conspiring to hold the family captive to get them to rebut a documentary in which the boy appeared with Jackson, who said he let children sleep in his bed but it was non-sexual.

The defense also called a welfare worker who said the mother fraudulently did not disclose on a welfare application that her family received funds from a $152,000 lawsuit settlement just 10 days earlier, and an accountant who showed the family racked up $7,000 in shopping, dining and other expenses paid by Jackson during a week of their alleged captivity.

Mercy Manriquez, an employee of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services, testified that she was the intake worker on the mother's Nov. 15, 2001, application for assistance which said that the woman had no sources of income and no assets.

Manriquez testified that a person who willfully excludes sources of income from the forms that were signed by the accuser's mother is guilty of fraud.

"Would it be fraud to fail to disclose it at this point?" defense attorney Robert Sanger asked.

"Yes it would be," the witness said.

Before the mother testified in the trial she invoked Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination on the welfare issue and was not required to testify about it. However, Superior Court Judge Rodney S. Melville allowed the defense to present records and testimony about it to jurors.

Manriquez said all income should have been reported, including gifts and the $5,000-a-month pay of the mother's then-boyfriend.

Accountant Mike Radakovich testified he was hired by the defense to analyze family-related records including a summary of the $152,000 settlement of a lawsuit against J.C. Penney.

He said portions went to the woman's three children, her former husband and to attorneys' fees.

The mother's share, $32,307, was deposited into an account for the benefit of her cancer-stricken son, he said, but within days $29,000 was withdrawn to buy a cashier's check written to a Ford dealership.

The mother testified previously that she considered buying a car with those funds but never did. There was no evidence that the check was ever cashed.

The defense also called a community newspaper editor who testified that she ran a story about the accuser's medical plight and found out later she had been "duped."

Connie Keenan, editor of the Mid Valley News, said she initially resisted the mother's request for a story.

"It was a story I didn't want to do but (the mother) played on some sympathies in the office so I assigned it," she said.

But after the story ran, the mother wanted another one, the editor said.

"The mother wanted an additional story because she didn't make enough money from the original story – those are her words, not mine," Keenan testified.

She also said she had concerns when the story came in with the mother's claim that her son's chemotherapy injections cost $12,000 apiece. Believing the amount was "over the top," she asked the reporter if she was sure and the reporter checked a recording of the interview.

The mother had testified that $12,000 was a typo and the figure was really $1,200, but Keenan said the mother never asked for a correction.

Keenan also said the mother wanted the article to say that people could send her money. She said she told the reporter that it would unethical to have money sent to the woman's house and it could be arranged only if she had a trust account in the boy's name.

Eventually, Keenan said, an account was created and she ran the story on the front page.

Asked by defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. why it received such prominence, the witness said, "I think the story tugged at your heart strings. The face of the child was beautiful."

Mesereau concluded by asking the editor if the mother had ever called her personally and how long the conversation lasted.

"Approximately one minute and 20 seconds," the witness snapped. "I didn't want to talk to her. I had already established the fact that I had been duped."

District Attorney Tom Sneddon, who had already had a contentious cross-examination of the witness, arose again and suggested that a reader might not know the article was intended to raise money for medical expenses, but might believe money could go to other needs of the family.

"Right," said the witness. "You are correct."

"OK," Sneddon declared. "I'll quit while I'm ahead."

The comment was ordered stricken from the record.

Monday, 23th of May, 2005

Well, today was another great day for the Michael Jackson Defense. As we entered the Courthouse about 7:45 am, me and the few remaining Press folks, Michael Jackson fans were chanting loudly, "Steve Corbett Sucks". Steve Corbett is a local columnist for the local good "ol boys" newspaper, the Santa Maria Times, which I never read, but sometimes use for cat litter, because in my opinion they are just the local mouthpiece for the what I consider the corrupt local politicians, even more than a certain National TV channel network is obviously the Neo-conservative mouth piece for the current [in my opinion] fascist regime of Bush & Co. Anyway, once inside the courtroom I asked Mr. Corbett what he had written to earn the distain of the MJ fans. He advised me to read periodicals which I disagree with. I responded that I don't read the "Slanted Mary Tymes", because even the lies therein are wrapped in distortion to serve the city which spends thousands of dollars a month on "legal notices". Oh, did I forget to tell you there were no empty seats in the 43 seat "public" section, but about 8 empty Press section seats. By noon it had increased to 15 empty Press seats in the courtroom, and only about 14 in the Press Overflow room.

If you haven't figured it out, my opinion is from talking to the departing international press, IS that most of the over 1000 Press folks that applied for and got Credentials to report as "eye" witnesses the Trial and Conviction of Michael Jackson, have reasonably already concluded there is NOT a snowballs chance in Hell that Michael J. Jackson will be convicted of molestation of G.A. in 2003, and no chance at all that he will be convicted of False Imprisonment,... unless the jury just renewed or joined the local branch of the Great Ayran Nation [%%%], ssssoooo the majority of PRESS has gone in search of other DARK stories. This one is going to end happily in Santa Maria with NOT GUILTY. So there is only about 2 dozen of us "reporters", still around. And no I shall not condescend to reading the Slanted Mary Tymes. Frankly, in my opinion, NBC and Court Tv and others have invested a lot of big $$ to be in position to be FIRST to report a conviction of Michael that is NEVER going to happen.

Sharon Sidney, of www.theJusticeSystem.net, and I have been wondering for months why Jim Hammer, Susan Filan and others who signed on as "legal analyst" for NBC can not SEE the obvious. That a welfare cheat and her dysfunctional kids have made ugly and slanderous charges against a man who champions love and wants to see more "Healing of the world".

But I repeat myself. Well, really it was, and Jim Hammer of NBC seemed almost depressed about it, but still he made small talk with Frank Delio, who has been sitting with Kathyrn Jackson and her son Randy in the 2nd row. Frank told me before court that he had been Michael's personal manager for 5 years, through the "Bad Tour" etc. I know, I was right behind them Friday and today Monday in the 3rd row, which is as close as the Press can sit.

I was close enough to notice that in the afternoon, Persecutor, ahem, I mean to write, Prosecutor Tom Sneddon began to mumble and stutter as he questioned the last few Defense witnesses. Perhaps because he already realized what I said 2 months ago on my TV show, "On Second Thought"; that there has NOT been one credible witness against Michael Jackson. And I said back on OST, #2 episode on the Michael Jackson Inquisition, that Michael was obviously under attack by liars and "thieves". Also, that the city of Santa Maria, which is making money off the trial ought to join Michael in a suit against Dist. Atty. Sneddon, if the city loses money.

Oh, if I am lying, I guess the mother of the accuser can sue me in court for slander, but today, Defense put on the stand a L.A. Social Welfare worker, who granted fast track welfare to dysfunctional Janet and her two disease ridden sons and daughter Da. .Av., who just turned 18. Yup, yes SireeeeE , there she was on the witness stand, saying in a hypothetical situation, "if" on "1-15-01" a certain Janet A. had signed under penalty of perjury, the welfare form, which she said she needed cash and medi-cal, cause the had none, and she had just days before got $32,000+ dollars from J.C. Penny in a settlement for injuries she claimed their security guards gave her, but now claimed her husband David gave her, that might disqualify her from collecting $679.oo in welfare.

. "IF" she did not tell welfare that she got free clothes, a body wax job, dental treatment for her sons retainers, etc. THAT would be a violation of her signed-under-penalty-of-perjury welfare form.

I lost count at about 5 potential felonies. And this is the Prosecutors best witness. A welfare cheat, Tom Sneddon looked absolutely despondent. Michaels mom, who I call the Queen Mother of the King of Rock seemed to smile just a little bit in court as the welfare felonies were carefully laid out by Atty. Robert Sanger. I whispered to Sharon Sidney, next to me, I believe it would be Just and Correct, if Tom Sneddon was charged with, tried for and convicted of "evidence manufacturing" , because of the 2004 Grand Jury snafu, that Thomas "Hurricane" Mesereau identified months ago. If you missed that below or in the Smoking Gun transcripts, it is this. The accusing boys G.A. and S.A. said, "Michael Jackson" gave them or allowed them to look at a Hustler publication, I never heard of, called "Barely Legal", before they last left Neverland in March of 2003. In November 2003, the magazine was stolen, ahem I mean "seized" by S.B. Sheriff deputies. Later in 2004, our experienced of 25 years District Attorney of Santa Barbara, handed the "Barely Legal" magazine to the boy to I.D., and he said THAT specific magazine was the one Michael made available to him at Neverland prior to March 2003. Then Defense team asked a detective to look at the date in the upper right corner and it was well AFTER March of 2003, but before November 2003. So, earlier when the Prosecutors made a big deal of finding Michael Jackson's right thumb print on the same magazine as the disease ridden boys' fingerprints [of Janet the welfare cheat,] Tom Sneddon had or HAS a problem. Since the DATE of the magazine proves it had NOT existed in March of 2003, ... the only place the boys could have got their grimy fingerprints on it was at the 2004 Grand Jury investigation, where SNEDDON or his co-horts in this modern day lynching of a Creative Musical dynamo GAVE the magazine without the precaution of putting on plastic gloves.

WHAT is THAT? That is false evidence manufacturing by our Government District Attorney, Tom Sneddon & company, in MY OPINION. Now, if the Federal Townsend Grand Jury sees it that way and has the guts to push the Federal Prosecutor to call it felonious "Evidence tampering", then rightfully Tom Sneddon should find himself in a prison, next to some of the innocent and not so innocent citizens he convicted in trials where the defendant could not afford or find a Thomas "hurricane" Mesereau, to do an adequate defense. The thought of it, a District Attorney put in prison, for the same thing Atty. Gary Dunlap, was found innocent of, when maliciously prosecuted by that very Dist. Atty, makes my heart warm.

I just want to say "THANK YOU JESUS".

After Judge Melville admonished the last witness, the Editor of a 3 employee paper servicing El Monte and surrounding towns to just answer questions, the stuttering Tom Sneddon was able to get a little out of her for the Prosecution. Simply, that she did not check every statement that the assigned "intern" had written. 2:30Pm rolled around, and Tom Sneddon said, well "I know enough to quit when I'm ahead" and pranced away from the podium. Judge Rodney S. Melville, stated that was a wrap for the day, and off we all went. But myself, and Roger Friedman and two young writers seemed to think, Tom Sneddon is seriously delusional if he thought having his CHIEF witness and ring-leader of the accusing current alleged "victims".

More fans are showing up. About 60 last Friday, and 90+ today. This trial I expect will be over by June 3rd or 6th. I expect Judge Melville will try to skewer "Jury Instructions" to allow the Jury to convict Michael Jackson of "conspiracy" to commit false imprisonment, even if the Jury finds there was NO CRIME, but speculates there might have been an attempt to commit a crime by Michaels inner circle for which M.J. is ultimately responsible. But this judge has so disgraced himself and the Judicial system in this trial, by the things us guys who went to Law school noticed, that the public does not, and so many errors on the record, that even if Michael were found guilty of misdemeanor "child neglect" of Janet's kids, which SHE, not HE had a duty to Shepard, I am convinced it will be over RULED on appeal.

My real disgust is for some of the NBC hired "analysts" who kept and still preach the negative accusations when the evidence is so favorable to Michael. I have come to believe the big media is in on the lynching party. By design, or by happenstance. God have the same mercy on them as they have had on Michael. Because they and Mr. Sneddon, have spend 1.5 years smearing his reputation and humiliating him. Whatever his financial problems, within 10 days, Michael should have his $3 million cash back to repay whomever. Amen.

Pssst. Michael spoke only to say his "back hurts" still, B U T, he seemed to have a gentle, reserved slight smile as he left the courthouse.

If your a Jackson FAN, plan to be here June 1st - 6th, 2005. I smell a joyous celebration coming.

Well, that is my unbiased report, as unbiased as all those NBC so called experts that will no doubt shake their head and say the Jury was confused. No they aren't.

Now, it is up to us Santa Barbarians to see that Sneddon is indicted by his successor, and or a Federal Grand Jury for his [as I see it] crimes in office. And if we put Sneddon deep enough in prison, after a fair trial, who knows, maybe Mr. Jackson, being the King of Love will win a $200 million judgment against S.B. County and settle for a formal apology and $1.oo like he is reported to have done in that other lawsuit he won.
 
Mil Gracias MJforever ;) Me ha encantado este articulo. A ver si alguien tiene un rato y puede traducirlo, merece la pena.

Sneddon condenado... Sneddon en prision...
