What was the first Native American tribe to inhabit Long Island, NY?
evan never sued a criminal trial
court statement:
along with jordan, over 400 witnesses withstood rigorous interrogation
the investigation against mj was ruled as unfounded, while investigations of prior child abuse and domestic violence between the mother and father was further substantiated
wade dancing to the songs that he has a massive distaste for-
• FBI (Ventura)
wade claimed he lied under oath in 2005
ralph chacon and adrian mcmanus were sanctioned 66,000 dollars for evidential lying ‘in their depositions and to the court’
none accused jackson, apart from jason francia, the son of blanca francia, one of ‘the neverland five’ who later admitted lying in tabloid interviews in exchange for hundreds of thousands while under oath in the suit of ‘wrongful termination’ they filed against mj
later on in the trial, the state allowed past cases to be brought up in current ones, and with permission from the court, the jordan chandler case was debated additionally
after acquittal, the fbi ceased their undisclosed investigation on michael jackson from 1993-2005
“Nicola lamented that they had done everything they could to get “that nigger” out of town but had failed. Apparently, authorities did not like the fact that Jackson was the richest resident in Santa Barbara, that he had married a white woman (Lisa Marie Presley) and that he owned all of that property. They promised they would not fail to get rid of him the next time around.”
that same year, wade was one of the most eager of 499 other potential defense witnesses to defend jackson
again, employees previously denied the claims privy to the wrongful termination suit they filed, and the fees they were ordered by court to pay
aaron carter also made similar statements
‘When the Arvizo Family and Jackson were on good terms she encouraged all the children to call Jackson "Daddy," even though he had three children of his own. The accuser's mother, Janet Arvizo, now known as Janet Jackson after marrying Jay Jackson, has been identified as the most problematic of the prosecution witnesses. She was often unresponsive to questioning, even by the prosecution. She seemed to argue defensively over seemingly small issues, such as whether she had a body wax or only a leg wax. She even accused the defense of altering a receipt for the body wax. Questions were often answered with speeches or catch-phrases, rather than answers. She testified to the sheriff that Jackson wanted to kidnap her and the family with a "hot air balloon".’
a journalist wrote to rodney in jail, mentioning the name ‘victor’ encouraging the communication, read the rest here:
from the statement above- ‘With regard to all of the Abdool plaintiffs. they lied about going to the media and selling to their stories, when in fact, they had an agent and had gone to the media to sell their stories. It turned out they were a bit to late to take advantage of the opportunities that Blanca Francia and the Quidoys were able to cash in on. These people tried to hawk their false stories and were unsuccessful, so they filed their meritless lawsuit. They lied about meeting with the media. As if this were not enough, the stories that they told and personally edited were so fantastic and salacious, that they had denied ever saying such things..’
he described mj as circumcised, in jackson’s autopsy, he was uncircumcised
jackson was willing at first, though less motivated by the end as their numbers rose at the ask of evan and interest in the project diminished
“Authorities laughed and bragged about passing around pictures of Jackson’s genitalia, pictures that were taken during the 1993-94 investigation. This was done to embarrass Jackson. (These pictures were supposed to be sealed but are not. Even Geraldo Rivera, journalist, admits that he has seen them)”
What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?
"The movie theater had these two like private rooms, it had big glass windows so you can see the theater and so we would have sex in those rooms. That was a bit dangerous but there's a bit excitement there.”

Section (CEOS)
michael jackson might have his eccentricities, but this case all round might be the most eccentric of everything. stop using michael jackson as a deflection from prosecuting real pedophiles. might i just remind you one of the most prolific pedophiles got off scott-free, name was jimmy saville. as jeffery epstein island was infested with gross misconduct, the world spent their millions on prosecuting something profitable. why else would they be so vocal? MJ was guilty of naivety and a severe lack of boundaries

in a particularly acclaimed part of the documentary, james tells of an alleged incident when his mother almost walked in on the ‘abuse’, as said here:
the man (rodney allen) coaching his claims turned out to be a pedophile himself after conviction in 1999
except it wasn’t even granted a permit to begin construction until september 1993, when the abuse had long stopped due to your puberty and never happened again
(email recovery from later on in his case)

"I remember responding with a stern 'do you seriously expect me to ask Michael, right now — during the trial — if you can use the ranch for Wade's wedding?'

for more info/revision-
an analysation on his computer is pursued, including email recovery and additionally notes are reviewed. the key finds:
the synopsis after the raid was to close the case
the neverland five were few of hundreds of employees who worked for jackson and others living at his estate over the years
in the case, wade made threats to release book if settlement weren’t to take place, later on in court, he denied his shopping around of his book
rodney later admitted his claims were false and took responsibility, while also adding that victor guttierrez, raymond charmtz and evan chandler conspired together
during the people v michael jackson trial in 2005, wade made the request to marry his fiancé at the ranch
that he was innocent.
some key testimony here:
court doc from the original filing before all of the neverland five were included in the lawsuit:
what he actually in transcript- “best thing about hawaii is spending time with jimmy, love jimmys family and want to spend time with them.”
jordan chandler refused to testify in 1994, and again in 2006, stating he’d legally fight any attempt to do so
previously, wade was the first defense witness to testify for mj
"No, that's good for us!"
it was written in the NAMBLA conference in the 1980s that "Michael was a hope for us in a society that condemns us." Later, they wrote, "a win for Jackson is a win NAMBLA."
an alarm was triggered at the steps of someone heading toward mj’s room, however it was due to safety much less than ‘pedophilia’
all of the neverland five were fired for theft
according to tom messereau multiple witnesses (josephine zohny being one, who attended the same university as jordan chandler) stated jordan’s denial of any abuse taking place, and fan behaviour towards jackson
in 1994, she requested an extension, which was granted
he was alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman, suzanne ager while under sedation in august 1993 as well as various other occasions
as for the thriller jacket james claimed mj gave him while in this section, julian’s auctions auctioned the jacket off additionally, given to them by michael bush and dennis tomkins
the settlement was not an admission of guilt
also disproven, the only lock was from outside (perhaps she locked them in there and forgot? idk lmao) and the theatre doors had panic exit devices (aka crash bars)
• Victim Witness Unit
blanca was fired in 1991 for theft, and made no allegation until 1994
evan went to his lawyers, never police

a man named Rajan Ayyar was referred to as a “n*gger” by nicola as he and other government officials allegedly plotted about how they were going to “go after” him. Apparently, the fact that Ayyar was a Black man who claimed to be a Stanford alum was simply too much for those in great respectable stances in law
• FBI: Privacy Impact Assessment
more from the trial here:
information on the art books found in jackson’s library of approximately 10,000 other books- in one, titled ‘boys will be boys’ writing was inscribed from mj stating "Look at the true spirit of happiness and joy in these boys' faces. This is the spirit of boyhood, a life I never had and will always dream of. This is the life I want for my children. MJ."
adrian mcmanus had stolen from her own family members, on one instance being sued for stealing from her nieces and nephew’s inheritance
jordan chandler hadn’t talked to his mother in 11 years in 2005

-Legat London
evan’s two-hour lawyer (gloria allred) who’d go on to be replaced by long-time prosecutor of jackson, tom sneddon, stated in a press conference the plaintiff was willing to testify, and later that day she’d be fired
his claim went solemnly after he revealed at the end of a day of questioning, he never met jackson and was coached to tell a false narrative
mj settled stating it was no admission of guilt but an elimination of a civil trial, she never sued criminally
before the allegation, pressed mj on funding his screenplays he’d written, and extending his home (neverland ranch) to allow him space to write
tom sneddon cited one mark relatively matched the drawing, judge melville dismissed the motion
various transcripts question the credibility that was his allegation (he claimed mj touched his penis while tickling him)
• FBI - Automated Case Management System (ASC)
- Behavioral Analysis Unit-3
several contradictions are found on where abuse first took place
according to alan scanlan, the builder of the theatre, locking the doors was only doable from outside and the people with the key were security guards
the statue of limitations ran out by the time the two of them alleged abuse (7 years in that state) however, stating they didn’t recall they were abused resets the clock (as they did)
the end scene in which wade burns his memorabilia of jackson, he makes mention of the items he gave to him, the smooth criminal fedora and glove buckles from bad. what the auctioneer had to say wasn’t great.
BEHAVIOUR:
email recovery also allowed access to search history records, which showed a visit to a website detailing the allegations
however, for a long period of time michael jackson was touring and only occasionally visiting the ranch
janet arvizo soon faces charges of illegally collecting welfare payments, pleads no contest, and is furthermore charged

however, he actually loaned her 305,000 dollars in 1992, before any allegations

testimony from mj here:
as to why his case was often delayed then dismissed-
nothing constituted child pornography
summarised- ralph chacon and adrian mcmanus suffer from the most serious credibilities out of all who progressed into being ordered to pay 1.4 million individually of attorneys fees and costs (wasting the court’s time)
brad sundberg, the neverland sound engineer confirmed this fact as well - no beds in the castle that was surrounded by big windows.
maintenance manager alan scanlan stated that there were never beds of any kind in these places.
according to sundaram, racist remarks were alleged from prosecutors while sitting with tom sneddon (long-time prosecutor of jackson) at a fundraiser event in 1994 by senior deputy district attorney mag nicola and tim rooney when discussing how to acquire large estates in santa barbara
according to the documentary, wade robson was ‘abused’ from ages 7 to 14 from 1990 to 1997

testimony from 1993, joey robson stated her family attended the trip, and that wade had never been to the ranch by himself until the year, 1993 when michael jackson moved out in the same year, and testimony again about the trip in 2016

james claimed mj abused him at the february 1989 grammys in new york and that he flew him in to attend
martin bashir- the journalist for the doc was originally intending on a documentary with the jackson family, or so the jackson family was told
a misinterpretation by bad phrasing- no, mj didn’t have sexual notes between him and gavin found in a black leather bag. in one compartment of the bag were 2 heterosexual pornographic dvds and in the other were notes between mj and various others including gavin (the unidentified notes within the business card holder of the section, not the main compartment where the dvds were)
she also made mention of how rothman always took calls with other clients outside, though not with evan
michael jackson had been pressing for a criminal case that evan refused to file after the settlement and postponed before
he made multiple contradictory claims about the situation, one being that the story was sold to tabloids by friends, then claimed he had to go along with the story as the tabloid looking to publish threatened him to go along with it, then claiming he and mj were friends going back into business following his death
terry george was the first documented accusation of sexual misconduct- mj allegedly masturbating on the phone in 1979 when he was 13 years old- allegation made in 1993
