Excellent point, Ashley. Allow them to keep lying while you quietly observe. Lull them into a state of "well maybe my lies aren't so bad afterall." Then boo-yah. Discredit each and every lie because you KNOW you have the hardcore evidence that says otherwise. Mez is the man.THis is probably the basis of the defense's questions. Ask them specific question on stand, allow them to perjure themselves, and then show them the audio/video tapes of themselves professing otherwise.

Yep. :laughOriginally posted by HeavenSent
$$ for him to help restore Michael's image???
So what does this mean? Can this be used by the defense to give cause why their relationship went sour? OR is this to show the conspiracy is baseless? (ie the reasons the tapes were made)Originally posted by whisper

The man testified that he called the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department in April 2003 after the woman and her children had gone to the ranch.
"I felt (my wife) and the family might be under duress," the witness testified.
But after calling authorities, he said, the family returned and he told deputies everything was fine.
After that incident, he said, his wife returned to Neverland.
"She somehow or another got back there," the witness said.
Cant the defense introduce it as new evidence if the judge supress' it from the prosecution. This doesnt mean the tape cant be used at all does it? It was my understanding that aassuming melvilles ruling is favorable, the tape is no longer useable by the prosecution, but OK for the defense.Originally posted by whisper
Napolitano on Fox was going great until he got into the police abuse. He's talking about Michael not wanting to lose his fanbase and crap like that as if that's even at issue now.
-he said there's a tape where the accuser's family is exonerating Michael Jackson
-says the defense probably wanted to spring that tape on the prosecution during the trial but they can't now b/c the prosecution violated (or may have violated) the attorney-client privlilege
Ok Dimond did say something about the defense saying they did their own investigation into the prosecution. Something about hiding evidence and doing all kinds of stuff. I was flipping back and forth trying to make sure I didn't miss the Fox story.

I hope it can be used. It just wouldn't seem fair that because the prosecution f*cked up and illegally got their hands on the tape that it can't be used period.Originally posted by dangerous

Mr. Doe is said to have been present when Miller supervised the making of a videotaped interview with the 12-year-old and his family. The so-called "rebuttal video" was intended to answer negative publicity surrounding a British TV special on Jackson's life that featured the pop star defending his practice of having young boys sleep in his bed.
In the rebuttal video, the boy and his family reportedly vouch for Jackson's good character and praise his relationship with youngsters.
Prosecutors are claiming the family was coerced into making the video as part of a conspiracy charged in the indictment against Jackson.
Yep. We're all asking that question. I'm telling you. Jay had no choice but to tell the truth because it's all on tape anyway. But talk about debunking that conspiracy junk in a heartbeat. The prosecution's screwed.Originally posted by mello1
Now answer me this: how is the family being 'coerced' into making this video when Jay Jackson testified today, under oath, that he was there during the videotaping, AT HIS OWN HOME, WATCHING THE MJ DOCUMENTARY IN ANOTHER ROOM????
So thats our man... thanks Carla. Interesting to put a face to the name. He doesn't look like the sharpest tool in the box now, does he?Originally posted by HeavenSent
