JUSTICE?Santa Maria 2005 - What emerged from the trial so far is a portrait of afamily from the wrong side of the tracks who managed to infiltrate the air ofHollywood's celebrity's. They approached celebrities such as Lopez, actor JimCarrey, "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno and boxer Mike Tyson. Leno went topolice, telling them "something was wrong" and that he suspected the familywas "looking for a mark". Some of the celebrities responded generously.Comic Louise Palanker reportedly gave the family $20,000. After the boy metwith Michael Jackson his cancer has gone into remission. When the familyfound out that they were not going to live at Neverland forever, realizing theywere not going to get rich, that's when their story changed and the accusationsbegan.

Previous this case was brought to a secret Grand Jury who made their decisionto go ahead with the case without even hearing the defence side. Hundreds ofsearch warrants later and after the so called evidence of a $ 75.000,- watch anda Jacket that Michael Jackson gave away is the beginning of what looks like anongoing harassment of Mr. Jackson. It will be interesting to see if the Americansystem will bring Justice in this case? Witness after witness, the media reportheadlines that are carefully chosen slogans or statements, yet, leaves out the con-text and trivializes the impact of the cross examinations.

In January 2005 about 300potential jurors enter the backentrance of the courthouse,marking the most widely-cov-ered case in history. In a mêléeof television crews, fans andsheriff's deputies, MichaelJackson makes his way tocourt. The second day in courtended early, when Santa theJudge abruptly halted juryselection, saying he had inter-viewed enough potential pan-ellists. The defence attorneysand prosecutors had theirchance to interview the peoplewho might sit in the jury boxand decide whether MichaelJackson is guilty or not. Twodelays came into the process ofthe Jury selection when the sis-ter of Messereau, Michael'sleading attorney, died andwhen Michael Jackson wastaken into a hospital. The Juryis mixed, including four menand eight women, ranging inage from 20 to 79. Seven arewhite, four are Hispanicand one is Asian. None ofthe selected jurors areAfrican-American.

In January the pros-ecutors pre-pared to intro-duce their casea g a i n s tMichaeland hislawyerst ocounterwith theird e f e n c e .More than 1,000members of themedia from aroundthe world have cre-dentials to coverthe trial. The back-and-forth came dur-ing opening state-ments in the triallead to one pivotal

issue in the trial: The credibili-ty of the accuser and his fami-ly. In March the Judge ruledthat the prosecutors will beallowed to introduce evidenceof past molestation allegationsagainst Michael Jackson not-ing that the evidence is rele-vant to proof "an alleged pat-tern". A victory in the prosecu-tion's eyes, thinking this willhelp their case. Michael attor-ney Messereau said prosecu-tors were trying to rescue atroubled case with weak wit-nesses by bringing up past alle-gations. But for Michael itcould turn out to be even morevictorious as now he has thechance to be totally vindicatedfrom all accusations!

From "the Jackson 5", alleged-ly 5 young boys were molestedby Michael, only one allegedvictim will testify. Testimonyin four other cases will comefrom nine third-party witness-es. Michael Jackson was nevercharged in connection with thepast accusations. The otherboys allegedly molested byMichael Jackson, includingmovie star Macaulay Culkin,have all repeatedly denied

being abused by thep e r f o r m e r .Chandler, thefirst accuser isbelieved tohave fled the

county top r e -v e n tto be

called tothe wit-ness standby thep r o c e c u -tion.

An investigator for the SantaBarbara County Sheriff'sDepartment said that no DNAfrom Michael Jackson's accus-er, his younger brother or anyother member of his familywas found during forensic test-ing on samples taken fromMichael Jackson's NeverlandRanch. Even linens seized bypolice from Michael Jackson'sbed failed to yield hair, fibersor DNA linked to the teenageraccusing him of child molesta-tion or the accuser's brother

A forensic analyst testified thatat least one of the prints recov-ered from sexually explicitmagazines seized fromMichael Jackson's Neverlandranch belongs to his accuser'syounger brother. She also testi-fied that she believes anotherprint recovered from the maga-zines belongs to MichaelJackson. However, the resultsare officially considered incon-clusive because another exam-iner who looked at the printdisagreed with her conclusion.

The defense brought up thefact that the boy also may havetouched the magazine duringhis testimony before the grandjury. The prosecution acknowl-edged that the magazines werenot fingerprinted until after theGrand Jury proceedings. The

defense also mentioned thatthe boys broke into Michael'sbedroom and that the boysknew the entrée codes (lateracknowledged by the accuser'syounger brother).

A third boy's testimony forMichael Jackson's defense is"relevant" to the pop star'saccuser's credibility. Thedefense will present a boy say-ing that the accuser and hisyounger brother masturbatedwhile looking at the pop star'spornography in his presence --around the same time theaccuser alleges MichaelJackson introduced him to thepractice against his will.

Who are the key witnessesfor the prosecution? Howcredible are their stories orare alternative motivesinvolved? Here’s a selec-tion of the most importantwitnesses...

Martin BashirBashir, maker documentary"Living with MichaelJackson", made big bucksfrom his controversial docu-mentary. Later came up withanother documentary withactor Corey Feldman, one ofMichael's alleged victims,again making $$$$$$. This so-called victim suddenly claimedto remember things… yet he

was never called to the stand totestify??? During cross exami-nation the judge said he wouldhold Bashir in contempt forrefusing to cooperate…

The accuserThe credibility of the boy iscrucial to the case and thedefense noted specific incon-sistencies in his version ofevents. The boy admits havingtold a school teacher two yearsago that Michael Jackson didnothing inappropriate to him.He denied suggestions that heinvented the molestationbecause he felt rejected byMichael Jackson as a fatherfigure. The boy claimed to beunaware he had until age 18 tofile a civil lawsuit againstMichael Jackson and that win-ning a criminal convictionwould help such a lawsuit.

Barron (former guard atNeverland) testified that the accusercrashed a golf cart into a foun-tain and was warned that if hedidn't slow down, the golf cartwould be taken away. CynthiaAnn Bell (flight attendant)described the boy as loud,obnoxious and "unusuallyrude," complaining about howhis dinner was prepared andtalking very loudly about avaluable watch MichaelJackson had just given him.

Sister AccuserThe defence lawyers revealedmany gaps and holes in thecredibility of the accuser's sis-ter story. Eventually the 18-

year-old sis-ter of the boybroke downon the standand admittedto defenceattorney thatshe'd lied inher testimo-ny. "So you'dlie about cer-tain thingsand tell thetruth aboutc e r t a i nt h i n g s ,depending on what you areasked, right?" Mesereau askedthe woman. "Yeah," shereplied.

Brother accuserMr. Jackson's lawyers havestated that the boys memorizedsecurity codes and entered Mr.Jackson's wine cellar and otherareas without permission. Thebrother did, in fact, testifyunder oath that he did have thecodes to Michael Jackson'sbedroom. The brother testifiedthat the first overnight sleep-over occurred during his fami-ly's second visit to Neverlandin contradiction to the testimo-ny of the accuser's sister andthe prosecution's openingstatement in which the firstovernight sleepover was saidto have occurred on the fami-ly's first visit to Neverland?Under cross-examination thebrother admitted that he (likethe sister) lied in a depositiongiven in a civil suit. Thedefence also pointed out thatthe brother changed his story

several times about whatMichael Jackson allegedly didto his brother and that therewere many discrepancies in histestimony.

Kiki Fournier (FormerHousekeeper) said that theaccuser's younger brotherbecame "ornery" and demand-ing while staying at the ranch.She said he once pulled a knifeon her when they were both inthe kitchen and the boy wastrying to cook

Mother of the accuserAccuser's mother, whose ram-bling asides aggravated eventhe judge, spend five days onthe stand. At one point thejudge threatened to end courtfor the day. Crucial testimonyby the mother of the teenaccuser was thrown into doubtbecause the woman invokedher constitutional right againstself-incrimination. SantaBarbara County SuperiorCourt Judge Rodney Melvilleruled she could avoid answer-ing questions about allegedwelfare fraud, without beingforced to invoke her FifthAmendment right against self-incrimination in front of thejury. The fraud allegations,which are being investigatedby the Los Angeles CountyDistrict Attorney's Office, stemfrom welfare payments themother received betweenOctober 2001 and March 2003.- The woman acknowledgedlying under oath during a1990s civil lawsuit her familyfiled against J.C. Penney. She

claimed to have been sexuallyassaulted by security guards,J.C. Penney settled for$152,000. - Mesereau also pressed thewoman about a child welfareinvestigation back in the1990s, triggered after her son -- the accuser -- alleged she hadabused him. - The mother also admitted thatshe once told police that herex-husband had inappropriate-ly touched their daughter. - Mesereau also tried to bolsterthe defense's contention thatthe mother used her son's boutwith cancer to solicit moneyfor her personal benefit, askingher if she had paid for plasticsurgery out of funds raised forthe boy. - The mother denied she hadever asked her son to call NBC"Tonight Show" host Jay Leno,or any other celebrity, to solic-it financial help.- The woman admitted to knowwhat the deadlines were for fil-ing a civil claim againstMichael Jackson over themolestation allegations. - She also conceded that shenever called police during thetime she claimed to have beenheld against her will, intimi-dated and harassed by MichaelJackson's aides, despite beingclose friends with a LosAngeles police officer.

Stepfather of teenagerAccording to the stepfather ofteenager the family wasoffered a new house and freecollege education in exchangefor appearing in Jackson's

video rebutting Bashirs docu-mentary. The defence pointed out tojurors that he spurned the offerbecause he wanted an evenlarger share of what he thoughtwould be a financial windfallfrom the rebuttal video. Thestepfather admitted that hethought the offer was insuffi-cient because he believedMichael Jackson stood to earn$4 million to $5 million fromselling his rebuttal -- and thefamily ought to share in themoney. He also admitted ask-ing reporters from a Britishtabloid for money for an inter-view with the family because"I thought it was the standardin the industry." But he insistedhe later declined their offer of$15,000.

Kiki Fournier (FormerHousekeeper)Kiki Fournier testified that shenever saw Jackson serve alco-hol to minors. She also saidshe doesn't remember seeingJackson's teenage accuser orhis siblings intoxicated at theranch. Additionally, she saidshe believed the accuser andhis brother were staying inguest rooms -- not Michael'sroom -- during the time the boysays he was molested

Lauren Wallace (flight atten-dant)Wallace, working for an aircharter company that Michael

Jackson often used, testifiedthat as part of her flight prepa-rations, she emptied Diet Cokecans and filled them with whitewine for him to drink becausehe got nervous on flights.However, she said did not seehim give alcohol to minorsduring the more than 15 flightsshe took with MichaelJackson. She also said thatwhile she saw MichaelJackson drinking both wineand mixed drinks, she did notsee him drunk.

Comedian Louise PalankerTestified that the estrangedfather of the teenager at thecenter of the trial -- not themother -- pressed her formoney. Palanker said she con-siders the family as friends.However, under cross-exami-nation, Palanker admitted thatwhen she was interviewed bypolice in January, she spoke ofthe family in less glowingterms. She conceded she toldpolice that the mother was"totally bipolar" and "veryexcitable," and also said that"this family can be as wacky asthey want to be."

Robel and Det. Paul Zelis(sheriff's deputies)Testified that adult magazinesfound at Neverland were alllegal to possess and that thesinger's young accuser had notremembered seeing any partic-ular magazine or DVD. Theofficers also conceded some ofthe magazines and DVDs werenot published or released untilafter the young boy and hisfamily left Michael Jackson'sNeverland Valley Ranch.

Cynthia Ann Bell (flightattendant)On a private jet that carriedMichael Jackson, the accuserand his family from Miami,Florida, to California after theBashir documentary aired.Bell, who said she flew withMichael Jackson betweenthree and six times, said sheserved him wine disguised in aDiet Coke can throughout theflight, although he did not

instruct her to do so. She saidshe did not see MichaelJackson share the can withanybody else and did not seeany children drinking. Bellsaid she did not see the accus-er intoxicated.

LeMarque (former cook) Testified he saw the singerfondling child star MacaulayCulkin. But he acknowledgedthat his employment withMichael Jackson ended withhim suing the star for overtimeowed him and that the casewas settled out of court.During a break in testimony,Judge Rodney Melville barredthe defense from raising theissue of LeMarque's later workas the operator of a porno-graphic Web site. The witnesssaid he did not report the inci-dent at the time, doubting thatanyone would have believedhis account because "Michaelwas at the top of everything."

Adrian McManus "onetime"Neverland maid and securityguards Ralph Chacon &Kassim AbdoolAll three of these ex-employ-ees were involved in the failedlawsuit against MichaelJackson after leaving theirNeverland jobs. The suitresulted in a six-month trial inwhich ajudge foundthat they hadacted with" f r a u d ,oppressionand malice"and stolefrom the popi c o n .C h a c o n ,M c M a n u sand Abdool,who admit-ted sellingtheir story tot a b l o i dnewspapers,c o n c e d e dthat theyw e r eordered topay MichaelJ a c k s o n

$1.4 million in the wrongfultermination suit, they filedbankruptcy. So giving a "dis-turbing" testimony against Mr.Jackson in this case is a perfectway to get back at him...

Bob Jones (ex-employeemedia relations)Currently writing a tell-al bookabout his time with MichaelJackson with co-author StacyBrown. Jones had been expect-ed to testify that he sawMichael Jackson licking thehead of the boy in the 1993case on a plane flight. But, in ablow to the prosecution, Jonessaid he could "not recall any-thing about licking." Brownsaid he had several conversa-tions with Jones in which hetalked about seeing MichaelJackson lick the boy's headduring a Monaco trip, but hesaid Jones' recollections laterbecame "fuzzy." And undercross-examination Brown saidJones' recollections about theincident seemed to changewith his finances -- that he hada better memory of seeing thelicking when he needed moneyand a fuzzier memory when hedidn't. Asked if the book wasan accurate depiction of hisexperiences working forMichael Jackson, Jones said,"It's factual to a degree," going

on to explain that Brown hadincluded things of which hedid not approve.

William Dickerman (civilattorney)William Dickerman was hiredby the boy's family after thebroadcast of the "Living withMichael Jackson" documen-tary. Dickerman said he wroteletters to Michael Jackson'sthen-attorney, Mark Geragos,seeking to end "intimidation,harassment and surveillance"of the family by the performerafter they left Neverland. Hesaid he also asked for thereturn of passports, birth cer-tificates and clothes. The attor-ney acknowledged that in hisletters he never mentionedaccusations against the popstar of false imprisonment,kidnapping, molestation oralcohol.

Dr. Stan Katz (psychologist)Dr. Stan Katz, a key prosecu-tion witness who first reportedthe then-13-year-old boy'sallegations to authorities, said"it would be highly unusual for

a 12 to 13-year-old boy tomake false accusations againsta male." On cross examination,he was confronted with someof his published work, includ-ing an article entitled "Stop theWitch Hunt for ChildMolesters" and his publishedassertions that some 40 percentof sexual abuse claims are "insubstantive." "You are aware that allegedvictims of molestation oftensue for millions of dollars incivil court, correct?" he wasasked. "That is correct," Katzsaid. Mr. Katz was alsoinvolved in the 1993 caseagainst Mr. Jackson.

Larry Feldman (civil lawyer)Feldman, who was alsoinvolved with the 1993 case,denied there were plans for acivil lawsuit. But he concededthe accuser, now 15, had thelegal right to sue MichaelJackson for about five moreyears. Feldman also told thejury that after Michael Jacksonpaid the family in 1993 the boystopped cooperating withauthorities, and as a result

never brought criminal chargesagainst the singer.

Jack Green (president ofAffordable TelephoneSystems)Green inspected Neverland'stelephone system, and testifiedthat Michael Jackson's privatetelephone line was able to joinin with or listen to conversa-tions on any other linethroughout the ranch. Undercross-examination, Green con-ceded there was nothingunusual about the system, andsaid that anyone could dial outor call 911 on it.

Klapakis (former maid andson) The woman said that in theyears she worked for Jackson,she never saw him touch achild sexually, although hisbehavior did make her uncom-fortable and "concerned" forher own preteen son, whooften came to work with her.Both the mother and son in1996 reached an out-of-courtfinancial settlement withMichael Jackson. MichaelJackson's lawyers questionedthe maid's son on about con-flicting statements he hadmade to police and why he hadinitially denied being molestedby the singer. Shortly beforethe deposition, the mother saidshe was paid $20,000 by thesyndicated TV show "HardCopy" to talk about her time atNeverland and provide photo-graphs. Michael Jacksondenied any wrongdoing in thesettlement document, also not-ing that he had a financialinterest in protecting his nameand image.

Barron (former guard atNeverland) Said he never saw criminalbehavior at Neverland and thatas a sworn police officer wouldhave taken action if he had. Healso said the rest of the staff atthe ranch was aware that hewas a police officer. He testi-fied that the Santa BarbaraCounty Sheriff's Departmenthad asked him to work under-cover as a confidential inform-ant at Neverland after investi-gators raided the ranch inNovember 2003. He refusedand quit his job after a discus-sion with the chief of hisdepartment.

Carter (former bodyguard)A key prosecution witness inthe Michael Jackson casecharged in a string of armedrobberies in Nevada likely willrefuse to testify at the popstar's trial, his lawyer said.Carter's attorney, Lloyd Baker,said he has advised his client"to remain silent" and invokehis Fifth Amendment protec-tion against self-incriminationif he is taken to California totestify in Michael Jackson'strial.

Cynthia Montgomery (for-mer travel coordinator)Cynthia Montgomery testifiedthat a Michael Jackson associ-ate asked for one-way planetickets to Brazil for the popstar's teenage accuser and hisfamily days after they filmed avideo designed to rebut a con-troversial television documen-tary (ed. Brazil doesn't allowU.S. citizens to travel there onone-way tickets. So a one-way

ticket was never booked in facta return trip was booked, usingan "arbitrary" date.). CynthiaMontgomery said she advisedflight crews handling privatejet flights for Michael Jacksonto provide him with wine dis-guised in a soda can, after shewas told by a flight attendantthat Michael Jackson had madethat request.However Montgomery is thetarget of both a lawsuit byMichael Jackson and a federalinvestigation over a November2003 incident in whichMichael Jackson was secretlyvideotaped consulting with hislawyer on a later flight he tookto surrender to police in SantaBarbara and was testifyingunder a grant of immunitymeaning that the statementsshe made in court could not beused by the FBI as evidenceagainst her. Montgomerywould not have testified in theMichael Jackson trial unlessthe prosecution gave herimmunity to protect her frompossibly incriminating state-ments. Mesereau got her toadmit that she ignored arequest to use a different char-ter company for the flight,after discussing the issue withone of Michael's associates.

Hamid Moslehi (formerphoto director)Michael Jackson's personalphoto director testified aboutthe circumstances surroundinga videotaped interview withthe family of the accuser -- aso-called rebuttal tape -- thathas become central to the case.On the tape, which has beenplayed for jurors, the mother ofthe accuser and other membersof the praise the entertainer asa benevolent father-like figure.The accuser's mother, whotook $2,000 from Moslehi as aloan she never repaid, latersaid those remarks were script-ed by Michael Jackson's camp."We were trying to show thatbasically there was nothingbetween Mr. Jackson and (theboy) that they were showing inthe media," Moslehi said. Moslehi has filed a lawsuitagainst Michael Jacksonclaiming unpaid invoices,which he said at one pointtotaled $250,000.

Debbie Rowe (ex-wife)Debbie Rowe, the mother oftwo of Michael Jackson's threechildren, smiled at Michael asshe took the witness stand andidentified herself as "DeborahRowe-Jackson." "Michael toldme there was a video coming

out and it was full of lies andwould I help. And as always, Isaid yes". She said she asked tovisit their two children, whomshe had not seen in about twoyears, and Michael Jacksonagreed explaining that shehoped "to be reintroduced tothem and to be reacquaintedwith their dad." Asked why byDeputy District Attorney RonZonen, Debbie Rowe dabbedat a tear and said: "He's myfriend." Debbie Debbie saidthat that contrary to prosecu-tion assertions that she was notcoached and said she eventurned down an offer to see thequestions in advance, sayingshe did not want to be lateraccused of giving rehearsedanswers. According to DebbieMichael was surrounded by"opportunistic vultures" out totake advantage of a man sheknew privately to be kind, self-less and "generous to a fault."Debbie Rowe also had anangry retort for prosecutorswhen defense attorney ThomasMesereau asked her if she wasaware that investigators hadrecorded her telephone conver-sations. Debbie Rowe also saidthat Schaffel "bragged abouthow he took advantage of anopportunity" to make millionsof dollars from the rebuttaldocumentary, which was soldto the Fox network. She saidSchaffel also falsely toldKonitzer and Weizner that shehad demanded money for herinterview, but then kept themoney for himself.

***

Michael Jackson has beenaccused of conspiring to com-mit child abduction, extortionand false imprisonment.

However it is policy atNeverland not to allow chil-dren to leave the ranch if theyare visiting without their par-ents, and notations often weremade in the guest log to thateffect.

The mother had previously tes-tified she was uncomfortablebeing at the ranch because shefelt intimidated by MichaelJackson's associates and shehad persuaded the ranch man-ager to take the family back toLos Angeles.

Defense attorney RobertSanger took Barron (formerguard of Neverland) throughlogs kept at the gatehouse inwhich the arrivals and depar-tures of Michael Jackson'sguests were noted. The nota-tions in the logs showed thaton February 12, 2003, theaccuser and his mother, broth-er and sister left the ranch at1:30 a.m. in a Rolls Roycedriven by Michael Jackson'sranch manager. Interpretingthe logs for the jury, Barronsaid that there was no indica-tion anyone was notified orcalled after the family's depar-ture in the middle of the night

Conspiracy theory

and that the logs showed thatthey were not "spirited away"but had simply been checkedout by security staff andallowed to go on their way.

Second witness in the case AnnKite told jurors that she washired by his Las Vegas-basedlawyer, David LeGrand, afterthe documentary was firstbroadcast. She told that shebelieved people around the popsuperstar were putting theirown interests ahead of his asthey dealt with the situation.Kite's testimony supported thedefence contention thatMichael's associates, ratherthan the entertainer himself,exercised considerable controlof the events that unfoldedafter the documentary.

In a surprising twist, Ms. Kitementioned that she had friendsin high places at Sony that con-firmed that someone in theJackson camp was deliberatelytrying to set Michael Jacksonup to steal his highly-covetedSony Music Catalogue. Ms.Kite explained that she learnedthat Ronald Konitzer, an advis-er also named as an unindictedco-conspirator, might be work-ing behind the scenes to allowSony to take over his owner-ship of a music catalog thatincludes the works such as TheBeatles, Elvis Presley, ToniBraxton and Mr. Jackson's ownmusic. The $ony/ATV catalog is atreasure valued around a bil-lion dollars!!!

In addition a former managerof Mr. Jackson told the MJTimes that he has proof of aconspiracy against the singer."His whole life is a conspira-cy". He is waiting forMichael's people to contacthim when the time is right. ASony employee told the MJTimes that Sony is currentlyworking on yet another MJgreatest hits CD to be releasedin the near future. This surelyis not Michael Jackson's idea,but Sony just wants him tolook stupid in the public's eye.

Things to wonder about:1) If there would have been a white person charged with molesta-tion and he would have a predominantly black jury, people wouldnot think of it to be a fair trial. Yet with Michael Jackson no oneseems to bother that he is not getting a Jury of his pears. 2) Tom Sneddon's involvement in the case is questionable as noother district attorneys in the state personally take cases to trial.Add to that a prosecutor's personal interest in the case is groundsto disqualify him or her from the proceedings. The public ridiculeof Mr. Jackson by calling him 'Jacko Wacko' in a press conferenceis just one of the samples where his personal involvement hascrossed the line.3) Why would the accusing family turn to a civil lawyer if theyhave no plans to file a civil lawsuit?4) Will child molesters have adult magazines in their home show-ing only females?5) Many testimonies of the witnesses collaborated MichaelJackson's story and not that of the accuser. 6) Most key witnesses have alternative motives where money orrevenge is involved, so how credible and reliable does that seem?7) After many months months of investigation Sneddon adds twopeople to the conspiracy charge, did they just pop into his mind oris it a desperate attempt to save his case???8) How can the prosecution speak of victims when those allegedvictims speak out in defense of Michael?

Relevant Facts:1) A well-known South Bay attorney ventured into the world'sbiggest criminal case by filing briefs with the state Supreme Courton behalf of Michael Jackson that allege the pop star is the targetof an overzealous prosecution.2) Former Prosecutor, Laurie Levenson, Loyola Law SchoolProfessor "At this point, the case is looking like a smear cam-paign. It's a legal free-for-all."3) The 1993 so called "evidence" now allowed in court is evidencethat never led to criminal charges at the time because it was con-sidered a LACK OF EVIDENCE, so in 1993 Mr. Jackson wasUNCHARGED!4) Mr. Jackson has always done his share to Heal the world, pro-mote peace and financially supported numerous of organizationsand individuals who followed his example. 5) Michael never stands alone, his family, friends and fans are byhis side always and ever, with their continuing love and support!
