Michael Jackson's Trial

Ok people. You wanted to know the latest on the trial of the former Pop Singer. Well here it is.
The lawyer who first interviewed Michael Jackson's accuser testified yesterday in the pop star's child molestation trial that he never was asked to file a lawsuit against the singer.
The prosecution called Larry Feldman as part of its explanation to the jury of how the alleged molestation came to the attention of authorities.

The defense used his appearance to pursue its contention that the accuser and his family were out to get money from Jackson.

Feldman acknowledged under cross-examination that the boy could file a lawsuit against Jackson until he turns 20. The accuser is 15.

Jackson's lawyer, Thomas Mesereau Jr., grilled Feldman about whether a conviction of Jackson on child molestation charges would make it easier to get a financial judgment against the pop star.

Feldman said that although he met with the accuser's mother many times after he ceased to represent her officially, "I have never been asked to file any lawsuit against Michael Jackson."

If you were in the mother's shoes. What would you do. What would you say to the judge.

And for that matter would you actually say to Michael himself :upyours: and :mp5: him.

But for me it's a real :headbang: because I will let out the truth. I do respect the man. He's human over all. And I kindda like his music. "i.e. BEAT IT, BillyJean, & Startin Something" Sure I'm :mad: that he probably did what he did. I admit. Seriously. What do you guys think?

Please Press the issue.

No, I don't want to know - the Pope has just died and that story deserves more attention and respect than Jackson

I'm not familiar with american law(or something), but if it's still possible to settle
this with money that's how it's going down. These are one of those things
where I would want to see the end, but probaply never will :(
