I wasn't going to post anymore (too close to the end-game, now), but I continue to read. BUT, I must respond to this one. Geraldine Hughes was Evan Chandler's attorney's secretary, and she says she overheard a plot to blackmail Michael. She wrote a book called (short version) MJ Redemption. In that book she detailed a phone conversation she overheard about Evan Chandler's (and his attorney's) plan to blackmail Michael about child molestation (i.e. they were inventing it). I have the book and have read it, and I also corresponded with her, briefly. She does, indeed, say what she heard. The rest of the book is "filler."
Her book/knowledge could have blown the trial wide-open. She went on tv. But instead of giving information that could have helped Michael, she just said, "Buy my book if you want to find out." That did NOT help him. And then she vanished from public view. Well, oops?
As far as I know, Geraldine Hughes has no inside knowledge now, whatsoever.
Next?
