Todo lo que sucedió en TV:
Here is the entire transcript of Crier and Dimond RE: Karen.
If someone has already put this up, a mod may delete this. Going to check the thread now, but wanted to make sure this got up ASAP.
Crier: Fireworks coming up in the Michael Jackson following a major ruling for the prosecution. Diane Dimond on the ground with that. . . And some more interesting news.

Attorneys for Michael Jackson dropped a bombshell in a key hearing in the Michael Jackson molestation case, but . . . not over yet, still more crucial testimony still to come. Joining us with more is Court TV?s Executive Investigative Editor Diane Dimond. Before we get to that though, Diane, you make people in this camp mad wherever you go.
Laughter
Dimond: I seem to make people on both sides mad.
Crier: (Laughing) We used to say in the judicial world when that was the case you were doing something right.
OK ? The make-up artist that we talked about yesterday, allegedly . . .
Dimond: Yes.
Crier: falisified a bruise ? That?s what we heard ? apparently has made this statement. Karen Faye has said this: ?I want to make a statement regarding Diane Dimond?s public statement that I used makeup to make a bruise on Michael?s arm. This is totally untrue. I am very angry. I am legally pursuing a *quote* on the air retraction of this statement. I have personal experience that we are all dealing with a pack of liars.?
Dimond: ooooo!
Crier: What do you want to say to Karen?
Dimond: Well, I haven?t heard that we needed to make a retraction. But I?ll tell you exactly what we said yesterday. We didn?t say that Karen Faye put makeup on his arm to make a bruise. We said that the Attorney General?s people who were investigating Michael Jackson?s police brutality allegations were trying to find her to talk to her about that. They heard that she had gone to a dinner party and bragged that she had put that makeup on his arm. We also said yesterday, as you remember, Catherine, that we didn?t think the investigators ever got to talk to her. Very few people in the Jackson camp cooperated, not even Michael Jackson would give a statement to the investigators.
Crier: Alright. In terms of the Attorney General?s report. What I got that had been put out on the internet didn?t reference the make-up. . .
Dimond: Right
Crier: . . whether the makeup was put on his arm or whether the bruise was real or the bruise wasn?t actually . . they found that there was nothing to corroborate his claims. And as you said, nobody from the camp was really giving statements. So do we know, whether . . . Diane
Dimond: They were looking into that. They were looking into that allegation.
Crier: OK.
Dimond: But ? when people don?t cooperate, and you can?t get it either way, you know .. . What are you going to say?
Crier: OK. So the AG?s office made no determination in writing or in a public statement whether they really thought the bruise was real or not.
Dimond: Correct.
Crier: OK, let?s get to what happened in court today again because I understand first that the judge ruled that the search of Neverland is fine, but they, in fact if the defense wants to challenge certain items that they can do so. Tell us about that.
Dimond: Well, court actually is dark today, Catherine, because the judge gave the defense time today to get up their list about what exactly are you challenging about what was taken from Neverland. So that, of course, will be delivered to the DA late today. We may hear something about it tomorrow.
Crier: Well what about the letters?
Dimond: (unintelligible)
Crier: I?m sorry we?re going to run out of time in this segment . . . There are some interesting letters. Tell us about that.
Dimond: Well, there are interesting letters, but tomorrow we get closest to the kid than we ever has because his step-father?s going to be here to testify and the mother?s first attorney, William Dickerman, who wrote this stack of letters to Mark Geragos . . . (holding up letters) . . . We have them exclusively. Tom Sneddon said that these letters show theft, false imprisonment, extortion, stalking, possession of stolen property, and here?s a quick clip. Look at this. This is written by William Dickerman, the attorney, to Mark Geragos
(Quoting from the letters. Text shown on screen.) Jackson has relentlessly hounded and harassed the children and their mother almost daily since they left Neverland. Such despicable behavior consisted of: death threats, surveilling and photographing of children?s schools, throwing rocks at her parents? home, telephoning her, leaving her disturbing notes,most recently, stalking the family. My clients believe that Jackson is illegally eavesdropping on their phone conversations.
Dimond: (continuing, while text from letters is on screen) They demand that Jackson immediately return to them their passports and visas, all property removed from the apartment . . . (intelligible) . . . of course, Catherine, that Jackson . . . we know that there was an allegation that Jackson?s team was trying to get them to Brazil.
Crier: OK. I wish we had more time. This is all coming up tomorrow. Diane Dimond thanks for being with us . . . etc.
