yes but it was not just "some blotches" the kid was apparently able to place correctly one blotch on Michael's penis. Sneddon said so in 2005 to the judge when he wanted to include the pictures. With all due respect and love for Michael we can wonder how that happens. I think the timeline is important because on the drawning made by Jordan (tho we can't be sure as it is Evan chandler who gave it to the authorities) he does not drawn any blotches so when did that come up? after the photos were taken??
And soso and vic I 'am sorry but you don't back up your facts with anything else but "we know, we were there and so on" i think that is a little too easy. Proove to me that Jordan wanted to testify for Michael for example don't say I know period.
Hi Edena (or Bonjour, I am french too !)
I think you have a point . It's very difficult to get the facts right, since there was no trial in 1993. All we have are the partially leaked legal docs, and the 2005 docs and testimonies.
So we need to use our logic. To me it's important to stick to that, if we want to show Michael was innocent.
About Jordan's description : to me, we don't even know if there was a description. All we know is that prosecution was not able to use the pictures in 1993, and in 2005.
The only logical thing that comes from that : those pictures didn't prove anything.
There could be different reasons : there was no description, the origin of the description is too unclear, the description didn't match.
The fact that Tom Sneddon tried to use them again in 2005, when he knew they didn't prove anything since he could not use them in 1993, well, in my opinion, it just shows he wanted to humiliate Michael publicly. And that in 2005 he didn't have anything to prove that Michael was guilty.
About Jordan not testifying in 2005 : Soso is saying that he was not called. It could be true. Jordan can not talk publicly, that's part of the settlement. So he can not explain publicly why he refused to collaborate in 93 (according to the DAs in 94), and why he didn't testify in 2005. It could be that he didn't want to, or that he wasn't called.
After all, I still don't understand why Evan wasn't called in 2005. He was instrumental in 93, he started the civil lawsuit and initiated the criminal investigations. June was called in 2005, when her depositions didn't help the prosecution back in 93. She was such a weak witness for the prosecution, that she even said things against Evan Chandler. So why call her, and not him ?
Now let's use "if" : if Jordan wanted to testify in 2005, I suppose he could have made it clear ? Just like Macaulay Culkin did. I suppose he could have said "I want to testify but I wasn't called". If he wanted to defend Michael, he could have contacted Michael's defense. The settlement in 94 was about negligence and not talking publicly about the allegations, so he could have done that.
He didn't, so why ?
If he wanted to testify against Michael, we know that Thomas Mesereau said he had at least 4 witnesses who would have testified that Jordan told them that nothing had happened. We know that the doctor who supposedly gave or witnessed the Sodium Amytal story was on Michael's defense witness list.
If he wanted to defend Michael, then what would have happened ? What could have been the consequences for Jordan ? Such a testimony would certainly have exposed Evan Chandler (who was NOT called ...) , and his lawyers at the time.
So ???
