Jackson Trial (USA Question )

Hi,

Are the people in USA getting Jackson trial coverage on tv, I know the court case is not being shown on tv , but are details of the court transcipts being given to the public ?

Here in UK on tv the info is very limited. I wanted to know exactly what Jackson was being accused of and the boys evidence that was given, I got excerpts from the court case only on the BBC radio at 2am. Perhaps this is due to the nature of the case and is why it is being blacked out on tv.

I know a digital channel here is holding a mock court case with a Jackson lookalike playing his part. I dont have digital.

What sort of press is it getting stateside ?

www.mjjsource.com. Though it is biased as it is the official Michael Jackson site right now, it gives you a pretty good image about the entire trial right now.

I was shocked by the fact that he might be near bankruptcy!! And also by seeing him walking into his own trial in his pyjama troursers He supposedly had a terrible backache but in the images I saw he kept craning and turning his neck quite easily though.

I always thought he might be guilty but part of it all was also a "plot" to get money and all but by the way he's acting I don't know - looks like he's scared, not sure of his own innocence (at least pretending!)

That's no news, it's been rumoured for about ten years now.

yup i mean he rattled what?, at least 5 million in under half an hour in one shop on that martin bashir documentary.

doesn't matter how much money he had, he doesn't sell like he used to and the beatles catalogue still couldn't keep him spending like that.

His FA's are probably largely to blame but I have no sympathy for the guy whatsoever so **** him.

Really? I hadn't heard it before. Where did *all* of his heaps and heaps and heaps of money go then?

The mock court case being shown here in the UK uses exact transcripts of the real trial and as the actors are all American i think it is being shown on some channel there.

He has been accused of molesting the boy, of keeping the boys family in Neverland against their will and of giving the boy alcohol, in total there are 10 charges against him. Apparently the last charge (the alcohol one) is much more serious in California than it is in the UK, especially as the boy has had cancer and only has one kidney.

thanks for that, I cant find any transcripts at the site, the transcripts are for paid members only now, think they have just introduced this

Im really shocked what was said in court on Thurs and it doesnt seem to have hit the media. Maybe it has and I havent seen it, but it hasnt been on tv or on any site I have read.

looks like the trial will be over a lot quicker than expected , they are saying 2mths instead of 5mths now.
