Koko ajan näyttää siltä että mitä lähemmäs oikeudenkäynnin alkua päästään niin Sneddonin juttu sen kun heikkenee... :)

Jackson District Attorney Upsets Jersey Family
Friday, January 14, 2005
By Roger Friedman
There was yet another leak from Santa Barbara District Attorney Tom Sneddon's office in the Michael Jackson case yesterday.
This time, it was grand jury testimony from the now-almost 15-year-old boy who's accusing the pop singer of molestation.
Isn't there a gag order in this case? Can't Sneddon be sanctioned by Judge Rodney Melville? And why hasn't he been already?
The testimony given by the boy is about Jackson serving wine to minors in his wine cellar.
I can tell you now, through my exclusive sources, this account will be refuted if it makes it to the stand. That's because Sneddon takes on Jackson's most ardent supporters and surrogate family, the Cascios of Franklin Lakes, N.J.
I've told you about the Cascios before. Dominic Cascio was a banquet manager at the Palace Hotel in New York when he met Jackson some 17 years ago. He was the married father of three, eventually four.
Jackson immediately embraced the Cascios, and vice versa. Sources tell me he appreciated their close-knit, loving family. Over the years Jackson has spent a lot of time at their house and reciprocated by taking them on trips.
The kids, three boys and a girl, have literally grown up at Jackson's Neverland Valley Ranch. They have had free access to all rooms in the house, including Jackson's fabled bedroom and bed, without incident.
The eldest child, Frank, who is now 24 and uses the nom de plume Tyson, has worked for Jackson in various capacities. He is cited as one of the unnamed, unindicted co-conspirators in the current case who is accused, unofficially, of holding the California boy's family "hostage."
My sources laughed yesterday when they heard the story of Michael serving wine to Frank's 15-year-old sister, 12-year-old brother and the accuser and his brother.
"The wine cellar, as it's known, is located right behind the game room. The kids break into it all the time. I caught [the accuser and his brother] down there myself once. It's not hard," my source said.
Here's the problem as it's been laid out for me. The Cascios, who operate two family restaurants in northern New Jersey, are Italian-American and have always let their kids have a sip of wine here and there. If they are called to testify in the case, they will explain that it's in their culture.
The daughter, who is a minor nevertheless, will no doubt say that she knew where the wine cellar was and didn't need Jackson's help for access to it. The 12-year-old son does not drink, which has also been verified.
But here's the rub, my sources say: The brother and sister were on the private plane that took Jackson, his kids, his nanny, the accusing family and a doctor back to Neverland Ranch from Miami on Feb. 7, 2003.
This is the flight that also included comedian Chris Tucker and on which, it's been alleged, Jackson licked his accuser's head and drank wine out of Diet Coke cans.
The Cascio kids are likely to say on the stand that none of that happened, or could have happened. And that would open an area that Tom Sneddon might not want to get into.
Curiously, even though Sneddon leaked this information yesterday, he has not subpoenaed any of the Cascios, including Frank Tyson. And the Cascios, I am told, are furious that he involved their minor children in a publicity scheme to promote the prosecution's case.
More to come...

Siis luinko oikein: "The kids break into it all the time." Haloo?
Heh! :D Jos tuossa on jotain joka osoittaisi Jackon syyttömyyttä niin pahasti ovat puolustuksen pasmat sekaisin... Kuulostaa pikemminkin syyttäjän todistajalta. Ja kauvankos MJ antoi tuon touhun jatkua Newerlandissa? Nonstop baari Jackon pikku vieraille? Sopii tuollaisia todistajia puolustuksen passittaa juryn eteen niin MJ on kusessa entistä pahemmin...

No ei. Olen lukenut että Neverlandin viinikellari on kuitenkin aina lukittuna kun siellä on lapsia ja muutenkin. Ja kun Neverlandissa nyt on usein lapsia, niin voihan olla että joskus jotkut hormoonien riivaamat teinit on saaneet päähänsä murtautua sinne. Mutta se siitä. Eihän tossa jutussa puhuta muuta kuin sinne murtautumisesta, ei siitä että lapsia olisi tavattu dokaamassa viinikellarista.
Mutta Gavin nyt ilmeisesti viinaa sai, omin luvin.
Mutta ei se ole kyllä MJ vika jos hänen poissa ollessaan, teinit MURTAUTUVAT hänen viinikellariinsa!!
Herra jumala, kuinkahan moni nuori on ottanut luvatta vaikkapa isän viinakaapista hörppyjä!
Ja se myös ihmetyttää että syytteiden mukaan MJ juotti Gavinia päästäkseen hyväksikäyttämään häntä. Mutta eihän MJ nyt edes ollut paikalla.
Sneddon on todellakin pulassa jos/kun paljastuu että MJ ei ollut kaikkina hyväksikäyttö päivinä edes Gavinin seurassa ja kun samaan aikaan lentokoneessa olleet ihmiset voivat todistaa että MJ ei nuoleskellut Gavinia eikä juottanut häntä.
Myös mutsin väitteet kidnappauksesta ovat naurettavia, ämmä oli MJ henkivartijoiden kanssa shoppailemassa monta kertaa MJ laskuun samaan aikaan kun hänet oli "kidnapattu". Olis kai hän voinut vaikka myyjälle sanoa että hänet on kidnapattu ja käskeä poliisit paikalle.
Ämmä myös palasi vapaaehtoisesti 3 kertaa Neverlandiin sen jälkeen kun hänet oli mukamas kidnapattu... Oh please!

MJ: 'Rush Hour' Star, Director to Testify
Thursday, January 13, 2005
By Roger Friedman
I'm told that Michael Jackson's defense has subpoenaed at least three people in the film business as character witnesses.
"Rush Hour" director Brett Ratner and star Chris Tucker — both of whom had a lot of contact with Jackson's accuser and his family — are the top two names who will come to court to help Jackson. The family spent time on the set of "Rush Hour 2" in the first three months of 2001. Ratner has already said in this column that the boy in the case was something of a smarty-pants and was no pushover. He will no doubt give those observations on the stand.
Tucker had even more contact with the family, flying with them back and forth to Miami on his private plane in February 2003 to see Jackson. The return trip, with Jackson, is the one in which Jackson allegedly licked the boy's head and drank wine in soda cans and shared it with the boy. Tucker may be used to refute those claims if they're brought into evidence by the prosecution.
Tucker also figures in the case because his girlfriend and the mother of his son, who also may have been subpoenaed, actually watched the kids in the family when their mother was on dates or shopping, according to my sources. As an impartial witness, the woman could provide crucial testimony. (She does not know Michael Jackson, I am told.) She was also present when the family was interviewed by Los Angeles County Child Protective Services.
Also subpoenaed to help Jackson is his longtime friend Bryan Michael Stoller, director of the "Miss Cast Away," a film released on DVD that features Jackson. Stoller told me yesterday that despite no chain stores taking "Miss Cast Away," he's sold 30,000 copies on his Web site, misscastaway.com. Stoller may be one of several witnesses to testify about his knowledge of Jackson's pursuit of women, a subject that — albeit incredible — could turn out to be riveting.

Touhu jatkui siis pitempään, ilman että jokapaikassa olevat turvamiehet ja turvakamerat havaitsevat mitään? Ei kuulosta uskottavalta...
Jos Newrelandissa on jatkuvasti turvakamerat pyörimässä, niin kaipa nuo "murrot" olisi piankin havaittu ja oviin laitettu sellaiset lukot ettei pojat pääse Jackon viinoja juomaan?
No ehkä tota kommentia ei heitetty ihan sanalleen. Ehkä se tarkoitti sitä että sinne on murtauduttu useasti, mutta asia on nyt korjattu lukolla. Tai sitten pennut on yrittäneet murtautua sinne monesti mutta eivät ole kuitenkaan itseasiassa päässet sisälle lukkojen läpi.
Tai ehkä sitten hän tarkoitti hirviö sisaruksia Gavinia ja hänen Star veljeään, että he ovat murtautuneet sinne monta kertaa.

Pojat? Tarkoitat varmaan Gavin. Kukaan tai kenenkään muun vanhemmat eivät ole koskaan syyttäneet Michael Jacksonia viinan tarjoamisesta lapsille. Eli tähän mennessä vain Gavin on päässyt maistamaan Neverlandin viinejä. Jos on.
