Jackson's accuser from '93 may testify

 

 

THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

 

LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson thought his $20 million had bought the silence of a boy who accused him of molestation in 1993.

 

That could turn out to be a very expensive mistake.

 

A judge will decide this week whether that boy's tale can be told in the pop star's upcoming trial on new child sex charges - possibly giving prosecutors the critical edge they need to convict Jackson.

 

The prosecution and defense will square off over the issue in Santa Maria Superior Court on Wednesday, just weeks before jury selection, scheduled for Jan. 31.

 

Judge Rodney Melville will decide what, if anything, prosecutors can tell the jury about the older accuser and whether the now-college graduate may tell his tale himself.

 

It's testimony the prosecution needs desperately because the current boy leveling charges - a cancer survivor who is now 15 - and his family have major credibility problems, including repeatedly changing their story.

 

They initially told child welfare investigators on Feb. 20, 2003, that Jackson was a "father figure" who did nothing wrong. Months later, they said that it was in February and March - while they were backing Jackson - that the singer was molesting the boy and holding them hostage at Neverland.

 

The family also has waffled on their claims of how many times Jackson molested the boy, and they have a troubled past that includes shoplifting, prior charges of sexual abuse, a lawsuit for financial gain and alleged shady fund-raising scams when the boy got cancer in 2000.

 

"The baggage they carry will be hard for a jury to ignore," said professor Robert Pugsley of Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles.

 

But backup testimony from the 1993 accuser "could be very persuasive."

mmmm i hope the procecution doesn't get any evidence from 93 into this one..

its obvious they have no case against michael and just usin 93 to bulid something.well we will see what happens on 12

yeah, i don't think that will be a big prob for Michael and TMez...i mean, that was an obvious scam...just as this current case is.

it'd be nice if mj could get his money back from the shitheads

His reputation and dignity is much more important than money. I know Michael doesn't mind if he doesn't get that money back. He just wants to be left alone, and wants his dignity and privacy back. This trial is going to be a tough fight and he will gain his respect back!

You know it's so annoying. How many times does it have to be said that Michael's insurance paid off that amount, NOT Michael himself. He was told that it would be better, and that was NOT Michael's idea.

 

You'd think people would have some sense. But N-O. *shaked head*

Ray Chandler is part of this scam. He studied law at the same college where Sneddon taught and is now a real estate lawyer in Santa Barbara. Interesting when you consider that it's been alleged that authorities are only going after MJ because they want his property...

O GOD,help Mike....

i hope this lying, money driven kid and family pay some day! What goes around comes around!
