Jackson Trial Update
Monday, March 7

While MSM is reporting the salacious details of the accuser's brother's testimony today in the Michael Jackson trial, Smoking Gun has the documents showing the brother has given three very different and conflicting versions.

The accuser's brother was first interviewed in May, 2003 by LA psychologist Stanley Katz. Katz had been recommended by the mother's lawyer, Larry Feldman. Coincidentally, Feldman and Katz were the lawyer-psychologist duo that spearheaded the lawsuit for the 1993 accuser.

In subsequent interviews, the accuser's brother "tweaked" the details of his story. Not only did the allegations against Jackson become more graphic and serious, the details as to time, place, clothing, etc. vary substantially.

Jackson's lawyer, Tom Mesnereau, should have a field day tomorrow.

    This was pretty amazing:
    Asked by Sneddon if there was "anything unusual" about Jackson, the boy seemed to remember the key part of his testimony and said, "Oh yeah, he had a" -- and then supplied a slang word for erection. "Is that what you call it?" Sneddon asked. "That's what Dr. Katz called it," the boy replied. (Stan Katz is the psychologist who first reported the alleged abuse to authorities.) The slang-for-erection moment brought several gasps in the auxiliary press room behind the courthouse, where the Jackson cognoscenti raptly watch proceedings on closed-circuit television.
    My instinctive response, which I hope is unfair based upon my limited knowledge of his "practice": Does Dr. Katz actually do anything beyond tainting testimony and helping lawyers extort civil settlements?

    First comment on the Jackson trial. Every friggen headline I have read says something to the effect of "Jackson told boys to keep quiet" or "Jackson showed boys pornography" or "Jackson had a bon3r". No "alledged" in there. He is being found guilty the same way Scott Peterson was. By the MSM. This is the exact reason why court proceedings should be private until after a verdict, period.
