Jackson Defense Investigate Diane Dimond
MICHAEL Jackson's defense is trying to find out if Court TV's Diane Dimond has been nosing around prosecutors.
Newly released documents show that Jackson's lawyers cast a wide net of "discovery" – prosecution evidence entitled to the defense – in July, and asked for any notes made by DA Tom Sneddon of talks he might have had with Dimond.
The TV reporter, who has been a thorn in Jackson's side going back to the 1990s in her years at "Hard Copy," scored the best Jackson story of the year so far.
Back in mid-June, she obtained previously secret documents that fully detailed Jackson's $25 million civil settlement with young accuser in 1993.
DA Sneddon has so far denied the defense's Dimond mining expedition – claiming Jackson's request fell outside the scope of discovery.
