.......JATKOA EDELLISESTÄ VIESTISTÄ........
The defense has argued that the prosecution had been slow in turning over discovery material that needed analysis, and that its witness list included people who did not exist.
Defense attorney Thomas Mesereau argued that the case should be dismissed because Santa Barbara District Attorney Tom Sneddon had become carried away by his desire to bring down a celebrity.
"There has never been a child molestation case in this county pursued at this level. There has never been a murder case in this county pursued at this level," Mesereau said. "This is being done because Mr. Sneddon wants glory and doesn't like Michael Jackson."
Deputy District Attorney Gordon Auchincloss dismissed the argument as "tiresome" and "the ultimate act of desperation."
"The idea that we would select Michael Jackson out of the hundreds of celebrities in our county for no reason is foolish. This is recycled rubbish," Auchincloss said.
Melville earlier rejected a similar request seeking the removal of Sneddon.
