This is something that I just found and it's from Diane Diomond but it's still very interesting.
Unchecked CourtTV (Diane Dimond) update about Mesereau's case cause it's not bad... And yes, they got the computer fixed.

Seven minutes later he returned to the courtroom with susan yu. They're a close team. She bustled in and it was clear that's where all of the graphics were. He needed her in the courtroom. So they plugged in the computer. And it wouldn't work. They had to call in a couple of technicians. They were, you know, looking, trying to look calm and they were feverishly trying to get it to work. At one point, susan looked at michael jackson and mouthed the words, I'm sorry. But anyway, they finally got going. A few minutes later and tom mesereau, i must say, is delivering a powerful and energetic closing argument. It is all about attacking the integrity of this family. Especially the integrity of the mother. He said point blank at the top, he said this is about whether the doe family can be believed to beyond a reasonable doubt. If you don't believe what they said, you must acquit. He then went through a long rendition of what he termed were the mother's scams, jc penney up there. The welfare fraud was up there. He said ask yourself, do i have any problem with anything they have said? If answer is yes, mr. Jackson must go home. He talked a lot about the past testimony and promised that he would take them through transcripts that hasn't occurred yet and giving the outline at the top here. He said the testimony so far prove that is this family are con artists, actors and liars. The mother is so skilled with her tales of woe that people just after hearing her tales of woe simply decide to write her a check. She has committed perjury. I'll show you that in the jc penney suit and other times. You should pause and be suspicious about everything you have heard from every member of that family. It is clear that they were always trying to develop a lawsuit against michael jackson. Then he started talking about his client. Seemingly, pooh-poohing the state's case against him. He said, look at him. He is a genius. He is concerned with going into the studio and creating and sitting in a tree and writing music. He is -- his only and biggest sin is trusting the wrong people to be around him. He has been a target for years ever since the 1994 payout. There were two of them as you remember, nancy. He attacked steve robel the lead detectivive in the case, the powerful video of the young boy please speaking to the police and telling them what he said happened with michael jackson. He said, you know, he from the very beginning said, you know, hi, come in, sit down. We are going to investigate. Michael jackson's wrong and you are right and you're safe now. Giving the clear implication that there hasn't investigated anything but make michael jackson a target. He asked a lot of questions to the jury, nancy. Rather than statements of fact, of look at michael jackson. Does he appear to be somebody who would enter into a conspiracy? Look at the mother and her past. Don't you think that -- and then go into a long rendition. It was very unlike the presentation that ron zonen did earlier today which really was sort of a story about the doe family and how they got swept up in michael jackson's life.

I don't want to give you the impression he's boring, he isn't. But it's a different presentation. As we took the afternoon break, and we're still in the break here, he was talking about conspiracy and molestation. For example, he -- this is what i meant by pooh-poohing the state's case. He how absurd is it to say the molestation going on in february 20th to march 12th? There was international media scrutiny, not only on michael jackson but on this family. After the bashir documentary. It's unrealistic, he says, makes no sense because the case makes no sense. He talked about the molestation only being presented to them through the testimony of john and jane doe and, again, he said he is going to prove that their stories kept changing. He also, nancy, brought in the fact that this district attorney here in, you know, tom sneddon closest to the jury box, this district attorney has been after him for years. They wanted to humiliate, degrade, dehumanize him. Do you remember the kid that told him about the finances and how bad they were? That's designed to humiliate and tom mesereau said he's had financial problems but he is naive and through the financial difficulties gives $1 million to his friend marlon brando. He said they came in here and waived the pornography magazines around. Okay. He is an adult. There's nothing illegal found in his house. He looks at hustler and playboy and penthouse. It is not illegal. But they bring these magazines in here and they display them up on the big screen. Again, i submit to you he is a target of this -- this district attorney's office and just trying to degrade and humiliate this man who in fact is a genius and a great, you know, sort of a filantlopic individual.

Diane, how did mesereau, jackson's defense attorney, attack the similar transaction witnesses?
Oh, that's a great question and it happened right before the break. He was talking about the fact that the only -- only testimony you have here that michael jackson committed any act of sexual impropriety is from john and jane doe and hi says it was late at night on the stairs for a couple of seconds. He said, and all those other witnesses you brought in, alleged victims from the '90s, well three of them said nothing ever happened. You know why they brought them in, he said? Because they're desperate. What kind of a system do we have if a family like this comes in here and makes false claims.
