heard it all before, unfortunately (for you) it has to be proven he's guilty. By the time Janet 'Jackson' and her spawn hit the stand, Mezereau will in all likelihood have shot their stories to pieces.

Mike won't even need to take the stand IMO (though i'd like him to), I'm going to predict this trial will collapse spectacularly (or if Sneddon can't produce a little more by way of evidence or credble witnesses that actually saw something tangible, it'll get thrown out), and if there is any justice, it'll be damn soon.

sham.

These court transcripts are proving an interesting read. amazing what the press are omitting from their 'coverage'.

Enjoy.

Jackson PR expert says she was fired after voicing concern
Brother Jermaine 'in denial' about scope of crisis, woman says
Wednesday, March 2, 2005 Posted: 5:46 PM EST (2246 GMT)

Ann Kite, a public relations expert, testified for the prosecution Wednesday.

SANTA MARIA, California (CNN) -- A public relations expert hired by a lawyer for Michael Jackson to control damage -- after a 2003 TV documentary -- testified Wednesday that she was fired after she questioned the way the family of a boy, who appeared in the movie, was being treated.

Ann Kite also told jurors in Jackson's child molestation trial that she believed people around the pop superstar were putting their own interests ahead of his as they dealt with the controversy. She said she expressed those concerns to Jackson's brother, Jermaine, during a six-hour meeting, to no avail.

"Jermaine was in a complete state of denial," she said.

But during cross-examination, Kite's self-description as a crisis management expert was challenged. And she acknowledged that the singer never participated in the damage control efforts.

In the documentary, Jackson is shown holding hands with the 13-year-old boy who later accused him of child molestation.

Kite, who also goes by the professional name Ann Gabriel, told jurors in Jackson's trial that she was hired by his Las Vegas-based lawyer, David LeGrand, less than a week after the documentary, "Living With Michael Jackson," aired on Britain's ITV on February 3, 2003.

A different version, based on the same material, later aired in the United States on ABC.

Kite described the program as "an absolute disaster" for the pop star and that, on a damage scale from one to 10, she would put it at "a 25."

In addition to holding hands with the boy, Jackson also defended his practice of allowing children to sleep in his bedroom at Neverland ranch, where the alleged molestation took place.

On February 13, 2003, Kite said she had a telephone conversation with Fredric Marc Schaffel, a Jackson associate, who expressed concern that the accuser's mother, who had been staying at Neverland with the boy and two of her other children, took the children and left the ranch late at night.

Several hours later, Kite said she received another phone call from Schaffel in which he told her that "the situation had been contained" -- a statement she said made her "very uncomfortable." She was later told that the family was back at the ranch.

Kite said LeGrand refused to answer when she asked him how the situation had been contained. She testified that she told him, "Don't make me believe these people were hunted down like dogs and brought back to the ranch."

Kite told jurors that she also had a conversation that day with Jackson associate Ronald Konitzer, in which she told him she was "very concerned" that Jackson was being exposed to even more negative publicity by what was going on with the boy's family.

Two days later, she said, she was pulled off the set of the syndicated television show "Access Hollywood," where she was preparing to make a statement on Jackson's behalf. She said that Mark Geragos, a criminal defense attorney who then represented Jackson, had called the producers and told them she had been fired and no longer spoke for Jackson.

Kite said she was later asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, which she believed was "designed to shut me up," but refused.

She also testified that several days after her termination, she had a phone conversation with LeGrand in which he told her that the family no longer presented a problem for Jackson because his camp had the boy's mother on tape and planned to portray her as "a crack @#$#%."

Kite's testimony is an effort by the prosecution to support its contention that after the documentary backfired on Jackson, he and his associates tried to isolate the boy and his family and intimidate them into participating in a rebuttal video -- a campaign that included holding them captive at Neverland.

One of the 10 counts in the indictment against Jackson alleges that he and five associates, who were not indicted, conspired to commit child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion. Schaffel and Konitzer were among those named as unindicted co-conspirators.

Kite testified that during her efforts to control the damage, she worked closely with Konitzer, Schaffel and Geragos, who was later replaced as Jackson's criminal attorney. But she told jurors that Jackson's associates, particularly Schaffel, disagreed with her about what to do. She said their ideas included trying to enlist help from Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, who is the mother of two of his children.

Kite said she advised against using Rowe because "I didn't think she was the strongest candidate." But she said Schaffel told her Rowe would say whatever Jackson asked her to say.

Kite said her crisis plan involved trying to get the media focus back on Jackson's music, rather than his actions, and she recommended that he make a "strong on-camera rebuttal" to the documentary.

Under cross-examination, Kite conceded that Jackson himself was never part of the damage control efforts. She also said that during the six days she worked for the Jackson camp, her only face-to-face meeting was with LeGrand. She never met Jackson, and all of the contact with his other associates was by phone, she said.

She said that Jackson signed her paychecks, but she never met him and dealt only with his associates.

Kite also revealed during cross-examination that she had a personal relationship with LeGrand that began in the fall of 2002 and ended shortly before he hired her.

In his cross-examination, defense attorney Thomas Mesereau challenged Kite's description of herself as a crisis management expert, getting her to admit her only other celebrity client was Marshall Sylver, a Las Vegas hypnotist.

"You really weren't very experienced in the area of celebrity crisis management," Mesereau said, asking Kite why she described herself that way.

"I've seen a lot," she replied.

Mesereau also suggested that Kite had a conflict of interest because in late 1990s, she was involved in an effort to put music on the Internet -- a move opposed by Jackson and his record company, Sony. But Kite said she did not believe it was a conflict because LeGrand, who had hired her, was involved in the same effort.

And since we will be going to a new thread quickly (moderators, please), I take the liberty to post one more article, MSNBC's Dan Rather's take on the whole case so far:

quick question.

Did anyone see this trial happening or any of these events to play out the moment you saw the Martin Bashir documentory?

I did. I remember saying out loud "What is he doing? He's just asking for a lawsuit "

I also predict the boy is gay.

Here another evidence of child molestation...

Look how this little white kid touches the face of Michael and look his face, he didn't seem to agree with....
