LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Yaffe granted
Michael Jackson a court order against the aircraft company XtraJet, which
was attempting to sell a surreptitious videotape of Michael and his
attorney to the highest media bidder.
"The videotaping of my client conferring with me was illegal and
outrageous, as was the aircraft company´s attempt to sell that tape for
profit," said Mark Geragos, Michael´s attorney. "This entire case is about
cash, and anyone who believes differently is living in their own Neverland.
We will be absolutely relentless in our pursuit of any and all
extortionists regardless of how they try to gift wrap their lies in the
cloak of justice. Michael is not going to be a piñata for every
money-hungry publicity seeker to strike in the hopes of hitting it rich."
The videotape was made on November 20th while Michael and his attorney flew
from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara for the singer´s processing on criminal
charges. The judge´s ruling prohibits XtraJet from releasing the tape
until a hearing next month where a permanent prohibition will be sought.
Anyone watching this case can see that new lows are being hit every day.
Motivated parties are taking obscene measures to injure Michael with false
allegations. We will aggressively challenge the rogue´s gallery of grifters
who are seeking dividends from Michael´s ordeal. There is a very real,
human price being exacted here, and Michael will do what it takes to
safeguard his family and his name.
