在录音带的其他部分,Chandler指出他预备开始与Jackson作对:“已经准备好了。”Chandler告诉Schwartz。“还有其他参与其中的人在等待我的电话并准备就位。我已经付给了他们钱。一切都按计划进行,当然这个计划不是我一个人作出的。我一旦打那个电话,那家伙(他的律师Barry K. Rothman)就能将任何他视线中的人毁掉,哪怕用最曲折,肮脏,残酷的手段。我就让他这么干。”
这几天国外论坛翻出了当年一个神秘人物 LTTW的留言。据说他/她是迈克尔的圈子里的人。当时他/她评论了迈克尔.杰克逊和SONY音乐公司的斗争,(2002年6月,迈克尔曾与歌迷走上英国伦敦街头,抗议的SONY当时的总裁 Tommy Mottola,指出Mottola是一个种族主义者,最终令Mottola下台)很多话真的切中要害:
LTTW说,无论迈克尔对SONY和当时的总裁 Tommy Mottola怎么做,媒体都会打击他。表面上是因为媒体不喜欢他,实际上是因为迈克尔不按他们的规则玩游戏,尤其是他是一名黑人。
对迈克尔.杰克逊特别艰难的是,LTTW说,是他曾被所有人爱戴。他曾站在世界的顶点,无人能够改变。然后,1993年案件发生了。媒体复仇般追逐着他。 导演罗曼·波兰斯基承认和13岁的侄女有性关系,卓别林承认和未成年人有性关系, 还有Jerry Lee Lewis,伍迪·埃伦,但他们这些故事最终都没有像迈克尔这样得到如此多的非议。简单来说,有阿里的例子在前,迈克尔不按媒体的规则办事, 他超越了音乐的界限,做了很多被认为只该是白人艺人做的事。他歌唱世界和谐和世界和平却被取笑,但 Bob Dylan,约翰·列侬这样做却OK, 更糟糕的是,他还表现出自己是一个精明的生意人。
Evidence seized in November 2003 raid on Neverland ranch

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Fingerprints of Michael Jackson and those of his accuser have been found on "pornographic magazines" seized during a raid on the pop singer's Neverland ranch, a source familiar with the case told CNN.
Investigators raided Jackson's Los Olivos, California, property based on allegations of child molestation in November 2003 and seized a variety of items from the entertainer's estate, including items from his bedroom and master bath, sources said.
Investigators reportedly found a "collection" of pornographic magazines, and other periodicals in those rooms, and fingerprint testing was later performed on those materials, sources said.
CNN has also learned that authorities seized wine bottles found on the property, and those have been forensically tested as well, sources said.
Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Rodney S. Melville will decide what can be introduced as evidence in the trial, set to begin January 31.
Jackson, 46, has pleaded not guilty to charges of child molestation, conspiracy and giving alcohol to his accuser, a cancer-stricken boy who lived for a time at the ranch.
The boy and his family also claim to have been held captive on the property.
They were also there when Jackson was away, and allegedly had "free run" of the property in the entertainer's absence, a source told CNN.
They were "into everything," 无效ing golf carts and being generally "disruptive," the source said.
The boy appeared with Jackson in a British television ary in February 2003.
It is not clear in what room at the ranch that sheriff's investigators found the wine bottles. At a recent court hearing it was disclosed that a hidden wine cellar was build beneath the Neverland arcade. The entrance for the basement-无效 area was concealed behind a juke box facade, which swung open to reveal the top of a staircase that led down to the cellar.
A week ago, Jackson gave sheriff's investigators a DNA sample at his ranch. The meeting had been arranged by Jackson's defense lawyers, and Jackson cooperated fully, a source said.
有一部著名的纪录片叫《Capturing the Friedmans》,它讲述的是美国一位优秀的电影教师被指控性骚扰几十名男童,导演深入其中,却发现几乎每一位当事人的话,永远都有另一位当事人的话与之矛盾对应,而且每一个人都言之凿凿。那位教师被判有罪,但花几年时间拍摄此片的导演直到片子拍完,都不知道这位教师是否有罪。
