Thanks DI.....really is so sad that Michael's life ended like this...

....Eddie is right ..Michael should still be here.

kasume · Sep 26, 2010

I know we already know this, but I'll just post it anyway. eddie jones really needs to come out on cnn or something. He's doing a great job trying to tell the public the truth and nothing but the truth. And he does a great job differentiating the facts from the lies.

"It's not involuntary manslaughter. It's FIRST degree murder."

"They're keeping information from the public...They have all the documents. They keep prolonging it so that everybody will forget about it."

Eddie also mentions evan chandlers's suicide, and with more emphasis on Peter's Lopez's suicide.

"Is that even Michael's fluid that they're trying to test again?" - his friend in biochemistry

Eddie Jones is a media whore without charisma. He knows nothing about the case; He just read BS from media and Oxman

woah.....

He knows nothing about the case? I suggest you listen to his words again. And if you still don't realize it then.....then maybe you just aren't a real fan and just playing like you don't know.

He just reads BS from the media and Oxman?

LOTS of what he said, ESPECIALLY about the "suicides" of evan chandler and peter lopez, the media have said NOTHING about.

So what are you talking about? Or are you just slapping down names or saying anything to try and discredit him since he's speaking the REAL truth?

marc_vivien · Sep 27, 2010

Jones is a scumbag, like Oxman and Rowe.

He don't know nothing about the case. He's just Oxman's puppet

kasume · Sep 27, 2010

You are just slapping down names and saying anything to discredit him.

If their are any puppet's, it's Murray, AEG, Branca etc. They're all puppets of sony.

That's who you should be concerned about.

The issue of Jones had previously been discussed on several threads.

If you watched any of the Ustreams you can see that he doesn't even know the name of the people that he talks about (asks to people around him who was the executor and such), most of the things he say like he uncovered with investigation is already widely known (such as in one ustream he was mentioning that he discovered the 2003 firing of Branca) and finally he's source and alliance is with Oxman and Joe.

and those "suicides" etc comments come from conspiracy and hoax websites and people. don't forget Oxman simply based on the comments on those such sites went on to claim that the ambulance picture is fake. Most of the comments on those shows are nothing more that what people write on several MJ forums

"They're keeping information from the public...They have all the documents. They keep prolonging it so that everybody will forget about it." - This is Oxman. He said the same thing at a few magazine interviews , as well as at Jones's Ustream.

kasume · Sep 28, 2010

If you watched any of the Ustreams you can see that he doesn't even know the name of the people that he talks about (asks to people around him who was the executor and such),

I don't blame him. There are a LOT of people involved. I myself need to keep seperate timelines of all more than 10 people in this whole thing.

most of the things he say like he uncovered with investigation is already widely known (such as in one ustream he was mentioning that he discovered the 2003 firing of Branca) and finally he's source and alliance is with Oxman and Joe.

Widely known? Yes, among those investigating and the infiltrators, and some curious fans, but Not Really. The mass public don't know a damn thing.

and those "suicides" etc comments come from conspiracy and hoax websites and people. don't forget Oxman simply based on the comments on those such sites went on to claim that the ambulance picture is fake. Most of the comments on those shows are nothing more that what people write on several MJ forums

the truth WILL come from the conspiracy. because the conspiracy is the truth (not including the hoax).

"There is a lot of conspiracy going on as we speak, a LOT of conspiracy."

Now if you want to argue about that, argue with Michael about it.

"They're keeping information from the public...They have all the documents. They keep prolonging it so that everybody will forget about it." - This is Oxman. He said the same thing at a few magazine interviews , as well as at Jones's Ustream.

And it is true. It is a FACT that they ARE hiding information from the public. And NOT ONLY are they hiding information, they are also PURPOSELY giving misinformation to the public. There is EVIDENCE of all of this.

Eddie Jones's ustream and etc are not watched by mass public and/or casual fans. The people who follow him already interested in a possible conspiracy (example: you) or interested in the legal process and events (example: me). Therefore IMO he's merely repeating what other people have said (Joe, Oxman, Rowe, MJ fans) and do not bring anything new to the table.

and no I will not argue with Michael in regards to his 2005 statement about conspiracy going on at that time about sony catalog. (at that time the theory was that Sony was behind the 2005 lawsuit to financially put Michael in a bad position to get the catalog.) But please do not forget that time doesn't stand still. was that conspiracy still ongoing in 2009 and are we even still talking about the same conspiracy today? The players and the scenarios has changed a lot.

Maria MJ · Sep 28, 2010

Some of us have reasons to believe it is an ongoing conspiracy evolving from before the trial until Michael's death.
Nobody ever lost anything by keeping their minds open to possibilities. Paraphrazing Michael's own words, "in a world filled with corruption we must still dare to question everything".
It's a matter of personal intake, principles and gut feeling.
As for Eddie Jones..let's say there are much worse media whores out there. Voices of concern should be heard. What bothers the mass public and the casual fans is not necessarily a lie or a deception.
Most of the positive changes that occurred in society were usually a result of questioning, doubting and investigating.

Those involved in the conspiracy many years back said they were going to "destroy Michael and his career." They were going to "ruin him."

And by doing so, they believed they could bring down Michael ONCE AND FOR ALL.

It failed in 2005 with the molestation charges. In 2009, Michael was coming back to his beloved fans and about to soar to the top again.

I doubt those devils were going to give up so easily after 2005. They didn't give up in 1992 either.

Michael was literally INVINCIBLE. They could not bring him down. The only thing they had was his innocent love for children, a mirror of God's own affection for children, and they used they to try to destroy it. But when that failed, their really isn't anything left but to kill him.

Maria MJ · Oct 1, 2010

I have to agree with Kasume.
Why would anyone think a conglomerate would give up on an organized and consuming effort to bring down an enemy? From an emotion-free standpoint, only if there was a sudden change in their interests and priorities.
Has this change occurred? I don't think so, or Michael would be in good terms with the corporation ever since. And the fanbase would know.
So what new would his death bring except the ultimate opportunity to seize his assets?

Back to Eddie Jones, alternative voices should be heard because they can have a considerable impact. It's not just factual so to speak voices that should be given a podium. Nor is the underlying general uneasiness a factor to underestimate. Public perspective can be broadened by a combination of conformity and diversity.

I agree. We must keep our minds open to all possibilities. Something has been not right for 15 years or so. Bain talked about him being blackballed.

kasume · Dec 18, 2010

He's been determined as hell for the justice of Michael.

Something is odd.

Maria MJ · Dec 18, 2010

I think I know what strikes you as odd.
There are very few 'fierce' advocates of justice in this case and they seem to be either owned by someone or having their own agenda (see Leonard Rowe). In other words ulterior motives.
I believe justice for Michael will come from those who are away from the spotlight. Silently and methodically these people will push the truth forward without expecting anything in return.
If Michael had not spoken of conspiracies or repeatedly clashed with big interests I'd say there's no ground for speculations. But he DID. We have a very strong precedent: a behavioral pattern that tells us he was very afraid and things were really wrong. So the possibility of us making things up is highly diminished.
It all comes down to a)whether we are observant enough to detect a pattern and b)questioning Michael's judgement or not.

If you watch, the LAPD wants to reach out to the community.

Hearing On Chief Bratton's Request For Reappointment

The public hearing on Chief Bratton's request for reappointment took place last night in front of a sizeable crowd inside the LADWP auditorium. The Police Commission heard public comments from citizens representing a broad spectrum of the Los Angeles community. The comments went on until all were heard- a total of 69- and the hearing was called to an end at approximately 10:15 p.m. The evening began with comments from elected officials who came to endorse the Chief, including Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, City Controller Laura Chick, City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, Sheriff Lee Baca, District Attorney Steve Cooley and City Councilmember Jack Weiss. Community leaders, including former Police Commissioner David Cunningham, Los Angeles Urban League President and CEO Blair Taylor, Advancement Project Los Angeles Co-Director Connie Rice, Los Angeles Police Foundation President Karen Wagener, Los Angeles Fire Chief Douglas Barry, Los Angeles Civil Rights Association President Eddie Jones, and Latin American Law Enforcement Association Los Angeles Chapter President Art Placencia, among many others, were heard. Pursuant to the City Charter, the Commission has until July 27, 2007 to approve or deny Chief Bratton's reappointment.

Eddie Jones Jr President of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association

EDDIE JONES JR - PLEASE STOP ABUSING PEOPLE IN MICHAEL JACKSON’S NAME.

This letter is being provided for posting because it is believed to be a NECESSARY and ETHTICAL step in helping to prevent someone else out there from becoming a victim of financial abuse, intimidation, or any other mistreatment at the hands of Eddie Jones Jr., President of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS LETTER IS NOT ABOUT SLANDER OR DEFAMATION OF ANYONE’S CHARACTER. IT IS NOT ABOUT ATTACKING EDDIE JONES JR OR GERALDINE HUGHES. IT IS A TRUE ACCOUNT OF HOW ONE HUMAN BEING GROSSLY MISTREATED ANOTHER VULNERABLE HUMAN BEING UNDER THE FALSE GUISE OF SHARING MICHAEL JACKSON-RELATED “EXPERIENCES” TOGETHER…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS LETTER HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND AUTHORIZED BY DANIEL. THIS IS HIS OWN ACCOUNT OF HIS EXPERIENCES WITH EDDIE JONES JR AND GERALDINE HUGHES.
Daniel is a life-long fan of Michael Jackson. He is a disabled young man who is confined to a wheelchair. He arrived here in California back in November. Daniel is visiting from another country, alone- (*He does not want this letter to include specific information about where he is from). Daniel left his home country to come back to California for a vacation and so that he could be close to Michael again. He knew Michael for about fourteen years. Daniel Stayed at Neverland Ranch with Michael. Michael even invited him to The This Is It concert. He says that he is also acquainted with other members of Michael’s family. While in California, Daniel was contacted by Eddie Jones Jr through FaceBook. Eddie was aware that Daniel knew Michael. Eddie extended an invitation to Daniel to travel to Las Vegas together because Daniel had never been there and he wanted to visit the city that Michael had once lived in and loved. Eddie promised Daniel that he would show him around, take him to places where Michael had lived and frequently visited, AND he promised to introduce Daniel to other Jackson Family members/friends who live in Las Vegas. Eddie led Daniel to believe that he has an ongoing personal relationship with the Jackson Family as a friend and as a public relations type spokesperson/representative.
Daniel was very happy about Eddie’s invitation. BUT WHAT DANIEL DID NOT KNOW was that Eddie would expect him to FULLY PAY FOR EDDIE’S LODGING, FOOD, CARE, AND OTHER EXPENSES while in Las Vegas, which Daniel did not discover until after they had arrived in Las Vegas at around 3:00a.m. on December 2nd. At the point of their arrival, Eddie informed Daniel that he didn’t have any money to pay for a hotel and asked Daniel to pay. Daniel did. The Palms Hotel was selected because it was known as a “MICHAEL JACKSON” hotel- Michael had been there frequently… SO OF COURSE IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. The next morning, Eddie advised Daniel that he did not have money for breakfast and asked Daniel to pay. Daniel did. From this point forward, for about two weeks, Daniel paid for everything to take care of himself and Eddie. One morning, Eddie asked Daniel to go get him some money from the ATM cash machine downstairs in the hotel lobby area. By this time, Daniel had already started feeling that he was becoming trapped by Eddie’s behavior and demands. He was starting to realize that he was being grossly taken advantage of, ABUSED. He made a decision to try to protect himself from any further abuse. He went down to the ATM machine and pretended that his ATM card did not work. When Daniel told Eddie that his ATM card did not work, Eddie questioned Daniel and challenged him, saying to Daniel that all the other times his ATM card worked fine and that he suspected that something was going on, something that he “didn’t like.” Daniel says that Eddie spoke these words to him in a very harsh and hostile tone and that it was “scary.” Daniel felt intimidated and afraid. Eddie persisted that Daniel give him money. This situation eventually escalated to the point of the hotel security and staff having to completely remove Eddie from Daniel’s room AND from the entire Hotel. Reportedly, Eddie is not allowed to ever return to the Palms Hotel because of the inappropriate and volatile behaviors that he exhibited in the hotel that morning/afternoon.
Several days later, Daniel received a telephone call from Geraldine Hughes, a very close friend (and ex-girlfriend) of Eddie’s. She told Daniel that Eddie was telling a Jackson Family member that Daniel was wasting money on excessive drinking and partying at clubs. BUT DANIEL DOES NOT DRINK. And Daniel was suspicious of Geraldine’s information because he had recently been informed that Eddie’s efforts to contact or work with the Jackson Family were not welcome. Eddie is NOT allowed to represent himself as a spokesperson or “mouthpiece” for the Jackson Family, but he reportedly continues to do so. Daniel says that is EXACTLY how Eddie was introducing himself to people while they were together in Las Vegas. Daniel received confirmation TODAY, Sunday, February 20, 2011, that Eddie had NOT been in contact with the Jacksons about any of this. So Geraldine intentionally lied to Daniel to help Eddie. Daniel feels that this was a further attempt to intimidate him into keeping quiet about this horrible ordeal.
PLEASE NOTE: This letter does NOT detail all of Daniel’s experiences with Eddie over the entire course of their time together. Daniel may or may not decide to disclose more information at a later time. But Daniel was targeted, lied to, lured to Las Vegas under false pretenses, fed empty promises, entrapped by intimidation, abused, and basically ROBBED of quite of bit of money by Eddie Jones Jr. As of tonight, Sunday February 20, 2011, Daniel has JUST figured out a way to get back to Los Angeles so that he can say goodbye to Michael at Forest Lawn and then scramble to catch his previously set flight back to his home country. He is receiving help from people in Las Vegas and Los Angeles- people who have asked to remain unnamed in this letter and completely anonymous, including myself, the person who has helped Daniel with writing this letter. Please understand that I personally KNOW Eddie Jones Jr and Geraldine Hughes, so I am not someone who is “blindly” helping Daniel with this letter from only a one-sided vantage point. They are people who I held in the highest regard for their ministry-related endeavors and for their work on Justice for Michael… They truly seemed to be good people. I am deeply saddened, disappointed, and hurt by these events. Yes, I have heard about other possible misdeeds and wrongdoings that they have been accused of committing. Some of it I have had firsthand exposure to and some of it I have not, but I have chosen to stay away from all of it and to not form opinions or judgments. In this situation, I have heard about the details directly from the victim himself-- I just can’t believe or imagine that this young man would have a reason to lie to me and to others about this. What could he possibly stand to gain?
Daniel’s last point of contact with Eddie was through a message that Eddie left on Daniel’s phone telling Daniel to call HIM if he needed help, but this message happened many days ago, and ONLY AFTER information about what Eddie had done to Daniel was actually starting to get out-- with indications that it had possibly reached people connected to the Jackson Family… So it was apparently NOT a genuine offer of help, but simply Eddie’s desperate attempt to cover up this travesty that he had committed against a disabled young man in the precious name of Michael Jackson. Since leaving that message, Eddie Jones Jr has NOT made any further attempts to help Daniel. DANIEL DOES NOT WANT ANY FUTURE CONTACT WITH EDDIE JONES JR AND GERALDINE HUGHES.
Through Daniel’s willingness to speak out in this letter, our hope is that people will be protected, plain and simple. This letter is not about anger or retaliation.
THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK AGAINST EDDIE OR GERALDINE. Simply pray for them and let’s all just take better care of each other. GOD IS WATCHING from Heaven, and so is Michael.

=================================================================

SINCE FOCUS HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THE VICTIM TO TAAJ! I NEED TO ADD THIS FOOTNOTE: Taaj IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF THIS LETTER!
Taaj DID NOT want to post ANY information pertaining to Eddie Jones Jr. (or Geraldine Hughes) because she had previously made a good-faith commitment and promise to refrain from engaging in ANY further activities or interactions involving these two people. Taaj’s reasons for entering into such an agreement and the people with whom the agreement was made are confidential, so they cannot be disclosed here. However, given the serious nature of the abuse that was perpetrated against the victim described in this letter, Taaj was able to obtain a limited “blessing” to help with this serious matter, ONLY for the sake of protecting others from possibly falling into harm’s way. Now in good conscience, and without compromising her commitment, Taaj is posting Links to this letter to provide this RELEVANT WARNING INFORMATION

every person might be able to show negative behaviour or to lie for whatsoever reason thats why i am not only confused but even kind of irritated....

people like me, michael fans really carrying him close to his heart and fighting for love and justice in the name of michael, dont know how to handle this.

cause everybody could be the one not telling the truth how should we decide? as well as eddie and geraldine could follow the path of getting money and a bit of stardom out of michaels name and treat people badly, daniel could as well. eddie and geraldinge do so much for michael and in his name so for what reason should the act like this and at the same time show so much support for michael, there wouldnt be any need to do this, getting money for the fact that they knew michael could be more easy for them. but -and the worst is somebody telling the truth and not getting support- they could as well have another face like this daniel described. we all dont now them personally and nobody is ever able to just judge from the distance if this is the truth or not - there are always two positions. they could -as any human being doesnt matter how good you know someone- as well have some bad parts of character - or not.....

same with daniel, the fact that he is disabled and maybe treated like this is horrible really bad, but at the same time lets think about the fact that michael as he was living had many people around to whom he was just doing good things and still these people turned against him and told bad, horrible things about him. especially as they realized he wouldnt give them what they wanted...

so as to be seen, both of the parties has reasons to tell the truth or also to lie....both parties eddie and geraldine as well as daniel...showed her big heart and love for michael in the past but as well they could be also able to behave badly...no one knows!

so what should we as readers do know?

there are good reasons for suspect both posibilities for both parties involved and especially when it comes to michael, all sorts of people are doing so many good as well as horrible things....you never know who is what kind of character...that is the problem...

i am really feeling deeply sorry for everbody bad treated and i feel it really painful to discover the fact, that one of the two parties involved was and is treated badly but i think that i cant judge about this..

i really wanna know the truth but regarding things like this its so difficult...cause:

as soon as we judge we could at the same time be horribly unfair to the other party...we just cant know the truth since we dont know them personally and even then it would be difficult!!!!!

i hope whatever happend the people involved think about michael and his message and really do what he wanted and deserves: live with love, courage and always stand up for justice!!!

Michael will never truly be able to RIP. The earth will always be shaken and echo his name!

I used to follow Eddie Jones and sent him over $80. The paypal account was set up and posted by Geraldine Hughes. Taaj has not been involved with Eddie Jones since June 2010.

ABUSE VICTIMS OFTEN REMAIN IN THEIR SITUATIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ESCAPE OR BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED OR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO OTHER HELP. Children, the elderly, and vulnerable disabled people are abused by their parents or caregivers FOR YEARS because they can't leave...there are many many reasons why the victim cannot or won't leave... Do not turn on the victim in this situation. No, those of us who were not there may not know the FULL STORY, but apparently the person who helped Daniel write the letter felt enough conviction to want to help. I do NOT read judgment in that letter, the writer DID indicate that he or she personally knew EJ and GH and indicated that he or she held them in the highest regard. Additionally, I did NOT see anywhere in the letter where the writer or Daniel said that EJ and GH are "bad people" but what I DID see was someone attempting to help a person who felt horribly victimized. I DID see a victim being brave enough to speak out against those whom he felt had harmed him- and he repeatedly said in the letter that this was NOT about retaliation or anger, he simply wanted others to be forewarned so that perhaps this could be prevented from happening to someone else.

AND WHY ON EARTH HAS THIS TURNED INTO AN ATTACK AGAINST TAAJ. TAAJ DID NOT WRITE THE LETTER, SHE SIMPLY POSTED A LINK. If someone tries to do something like this in the name of trying to protect another potential victim, then they are BLASTED. If someone who knows about this and chooses to keep silent and it happens to others and it is revealed that people KNEW in advance about this kind of behavior but they did NOT say anything, then they would STILL BE BLASTED. so people are damned if they do help and damned if they don't try to help.

IF THIS TRULY HAPPENED, then IT SHOULD BE PUT OUT THERE TO HELP WARN OTHERS.

Granted, it can be a fair question to wonder if perhaps Daniel has lied because we as readers don't know him, so for those who questioned that, I am not saying that we should all just believe everything we read, but let's just say that he IS telling the truth, then he is a very brave soul to come forward. IF he is lying, then it will come back on him- I believe that you do reap what you sow, call it kharma or whatever you believe in but if Daniel lied, then he will one day face payback in one way or another... But I do NOT believe that he lied. He certainly could have had that letter written in a MUCH MORE DAMAGING WAY if he was out there just wanting to lie about EJ and GH. If he was intent on telling a tale of lies, then he could have been a bit more creative, he could have elected to "conjure up" some horrible gory instances of abuse or mistreatment but it seems like he just gave a general description of what happened... this is just one way to look at it. Yes, I am aware of the "good things" it seems that EJ and GH have done in terms of Justice For Michael, but do any of us know the true motives in another's hearts, do we KNOW that they or anyone else out there are truly in this for Michael OR do they or others see opportunities, or self-serving gains or fame or whatever else...? all people are capable of doing good and bad, of being two-sided or even multiple-sided... all kinds of "good people" started seeing dollar signs after Michael died... even while he was alive. and no, someone's good deeds does not mean that they are incapable of doing bad deeds too. People's good deeds should be recognized for what they are- good deeds- But the good deeds should NOT be used as justification for saying that an occasional bad deed here or there can be excused because gosh they have some good deeds too, especially if the bad is something as bad as what was done to Daniel. GOOD DEEDS DO NOT NULLIFY THE BAD MISTREATMENT OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, PERIOD. (continued below.... we should not...)

ORIGINAL POSTING IS QUOTED AS FOLLOWS: "Something doesn't add up. Why did Daniel continue paying Eddie's way for two weeks? That is not abuse when Daniel is allowing this to happen. Why didn't Daniel get on a plane and fly back to Los Angeles if he didn't approve of his treatment by Eddie? Why is Daniel just now returning from Vegas?

MY REPLY: WOW! I don't even know where to begin, but let me start at the beginning of your post.

You adamantly state YOUR OPINION that it is NOT ABUSE because it went on for two (2) weeks and because Daniel didn't just hop “on a plane and fly back to Los Angeles.”

Well, with all due respect: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THE VICTIM OF ABUSE (Criminal: Domestic, Sexual, or otherwise)??? Because if you had, you would NEVER MAKE SUCH AN INSENSITIVE STATEMENT AS SUCH. People who abuse others are "Master Manipulators." You don't dare speak up because if you do, then WATCH OUT!!! Do you even know how hard it is to speak up when you have been abused??? He was probably so scared at what retaliatory acts he may suffer if he spoke up and told his story. Why would Daniel lie and what would be in it for Daniel to tell his story if it was not the truth???

Furthermore, it appears to me that Daniel could not "just hop on a plane back to Los Angeles." If you look at his picture that is posted on his Facebook page taken of himself with Joe Jackson, it appears to me that he is severely disabled, in a wheelchair, without limbs (BLESS HIS HEART)! I cannot even imagine how vulnerable he must have felt (as I believe from what I understand from his Facebook Page he is from another Country outside the United States). Daniel may have to be reliant on others because of his disability! It does not sound like you personally know the situation; therefore, I believe you should not "ASSUME" the worst of Daniel.

Also, it is interesting how you further go on to make a "JUDGMENT" that the person writing this article is being "JUDGMENTAL" and needs to read again what "SHE" wrote. How do you know it was a “SHE” who wrote this??? Talk about the pot calling the kettle....

With that being said, how do you consider it being "Judgmental" when the letter was authorized by Daniel? It states so right in the article that the letter was authorized by Daniel himself. Why, then are you stating it was a "SHE" who wrote it?

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR POSTING IS JUST ANOTHER RETALIATORY ACT AGAINST SOMEONE SPEAKING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!

If you were a true, loyal, dedicated, and honest fan of Michael Jackson's, you would not speak in such a negative way about another human being that you apparently have NEVER MET or know the TRUTH about!

(that resulted in the 1993 accusations). At the time of the trial, she published a book called Michael Jackson Redemption. (or something like that. .) In that book, she recounted the conversations she overheard. She marketed the book primarily on fan-sites. (I've read the book. Other than the conversations she overheard, the book was largely religious in nature.)

Geraldine fell from grace, in my opinion, when she was asked to make the talk show rounds, and appear on the Geraldo Rivera show (during the trial). In my opinion, she was of NO help to Michael. She refused to state anything that she had overheard, and just said, "Read my book!" She was soon dropped from the interview circuit. To me, she seemed far more interested in marketing the book, than in helping Michael! She COULD have helped (tv interviews), but really didn't.

I believe she came to know the Jackson family as a result of her Redemption book. In the current situation, she has made statements about Murray that are very questionable, and is apparently trying to write/market another book. This one, about Michael's death. I can't see how she could have any first-hand knowledge about that, at ALL. (She didn't really KNOW Michael, or Murray.) I believe she made a comment to a tabloid that Murray was in a strip-club at the time of Michael's death, but could offer nothing in the way of proof.

In the statement above, she wrote: "Michael Jackson allowed me to speak publicly on his behalf in 2003/2004 because he knew that I had the ears and eyes of the fans and was fully persuaded that I believed in his innocence." I highly doubt that, but.. whatever. . . She COULD have spoken "on his behalf," as anyone with information about the 1993 allegations could have. But, she must have felt that telling the TRUTH on tv would reduce book sales? (It actually had the opposite effect.) She was a major source of frustration for a lot of us who were active during the trial. She COULD have "spoken up," but chose not to. . . .

She's the female equivalent of Oxman. In my opinion, of course.

Well, my opinion is, given her behavior during the trial, that the less she says, the better. So, good. after Michael's death we have seen her in the circle of Eddie Jones -

We have seen her on ustream talking about a federal investigation and marching to white house and discuss this with Obama (what happened to that?).

She also attended court hearings and if you watched any live streams of TMZ and X17online you would see her RUSH AFTER THE HEARING TO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO THE PRESS. She was again saying this is murder, blames, asks for federal investigation while PROMOTING HER BOOK. (I have also seen her being rude to fans on live streams - 1-2 fan approached her saying "?????????????" and she responded back with "you all need to LEAVE ME ALONE! get away from me")Rumor is that Jackson family asked her not to speak anymore and want the family to be represented by other people.

Like she mentioned that someone told her that they saw Murray drinking at a strip club the night of the 24th but there was no evidence to suggest that. Even her book didn't sit well with critics as she constantly called Michael an angel sent from God which critics accused her of being an 'obsessed fangirl'.

Mostly, I dislike her for her behavior during the trial, where she went on tv and only said, "If you want to know, buy my book." She could have helped Michael. And didn't.

Geraldine is writing/promoting a NEW book, now. Hence, a lot of attempts at exposure. (I really doubt that Obama has any intention of rolling out the red carpet for her. Or any carpet at all?.) I saw most if not all of her interviews & I agree they were not helpful. Abrams I remember being very frustrated with her as she did say "If you want to know, buy my book."

I stopped reading her book at page 58, when she wrote that "Mr. Pellicano is a very tall, slender-built man, handsome and very gracious. He was a respectable man and had high regards for my mother's courage in persuading me to come forth." Those are words I would never use to describe the asshole Pellicano.

I seriously doubt that she has any knowledge at all if "Murray was at a strip club" that night, or was not. And THAT adds to tabloid fodder, and clouds the picture of what really could have happened to Michael. She has no inside knowledge now that I can possibly imagine. She's writing a book.

She had a piece of important information during the trial, and I'll give her credit for putting it in a book. She deserves NO credit for any other kind of support, though. She could have been a strong voice for Michael's defense, but on media was no voice at all. And she could have been!

And yes, she was interviewed by Mary Fischer for her article. Fischer is a very credible journalist. So in that sense, Geraldine's information was already OUT THERE, and was widely read.

Whatever. I'm just glad she is no longer in the courtroom to use Michael murder to her own benefit

All I've seen yet is trying to financially gain from his fans in writing books... like lots of writers try... and usually when I get an abstract or something on fan boards I do get this feeling they are not telling me anything which I do not know and I still feel I know Michael much better cuz I feel this love and deep admiration for him.

I don't blame her... that's a job obviously existing in this world just like it seems a valid job for some of the Jacksons to be a brother or a sister of a superstar... and if ppl want to live like that... that's ok cuz it's their freedom of choice not to go and learn something else I suppose.

But this... it's just (again) too much drama to me... and to me it looks pretty much like trying to use fans for personal agendas and/or then later financial gain.

Maybe there is a good reason, idk. I would think people would generally be like Ann Gabriel Kite who went & talked to Jermaine. Whatever i dont have a good feeling about her shes too aggressive desperate. sleeping with Eddie Jones lord have mercy. I am sorry but this just shows me she is in it for all the wrong reasons

And she could have helped him, if she'd said what she knew when she went on the Geraldo show and other talk shows, but she did not.

Jones didn't witness ANYTHING.

Geraldine and Jones do not know ANYTHING more than what the most diligent fans know. I, for one, wish that people would choose a different career direction than making money off of Michael. If a skilled writer would choose to do it, then maybe. I guess I've grown jaded of people claiming to know what they do NOT?

Whatever. I've said what I have to say about Geraldine Hughes, and I wish her well, as long as she does not pretend to be someone she is not.

She certainly never said anything to Sneddon. Why would she? He was the PROSECUTION! There were many people in the courtroom, including some very credible fans. But, she was never called to testify, because she never said a damned thing, when it would have counted.

Sometimes in life, there are moments when one must step up, or step OFF. She stepped OFF. I watched her on the Geraldo Rivera show. He asked her. "WHAT do you know that will exonerate Michael?" "And instead of helping him, she said absolutely NOTHING. NOTHING! She just said, "Read my book to find out." At that moment, she stepped OFF, and did what so many have done. . .saw Michael as an income opportunity, but not a person worth SAVING. And . . she didn't. That was her moment, and she blew it.

Aphrodite Jones has no "inside information" at all. If she wants to write a book then fine. Join the club. She witnessed NOTHING, and has no more information that any credible fan does.

As far as the "courtroom" is concerned? All that testimony was online, for anyone to read. I KNOW. I read it, too. Aphrodite and Geraldine don't know anything more than the fans do, who read it at that time.

Personally? I'm sick and tired of people trying to make money off of Michael. Where WERE they, when it really counted?

I know. I've spoken to her, personally, when her support would have counted, and I KNOW. And yeah, carry on, and I'm out.

I have several problems with Hughes. For one she did not go to the police when she thought it was extortion.

For another, in this vid at approx :56 she talks about Pellicano being in prison, so she knows his history. Since she actually 'knows' him, anytime he came up in the news, she would have paid close attention. She is still of the belief that he is a great guy???

She does make a great point at about 2:40 that he was arrested the same month as MJ. Probably not a coincidence. My bet is Barresi had something to do with it. He probably saw an opportunity to make money & needed Pellicano out of the way. When the feds went after Pellicano again for more charges & was on trial - Barresi went to the trial & sentencing. To make sure his job was done. Pellicano was a complete fool - totally setup by Weitzman & Barresi to take the fall for all the lawyers. He was a complete idiot to not roll over.

And she's wrong about Cochran being the one wanting to settle, it was Weitzman first who wanted to settle right away at the beginning in house actually. Cochran came in on Dec. 20 - it had been setup. Cochran was friends with Garcetti & Feldman:

http://books.google.com/books?id=n1S...itzman&f=false

“It was our hope that this would all go away. We tried to keep it as much in-house as we could.” Howard Weitzman

And it was Elizabeth Taylor who introduced Weitzman to Pellicano, as Pellicano found the bones of Mike Todd. Interesting. she can use this now and put it in her book

But, I would never discredit what she said in her book, about a extortion plot against MIchael.

She DID have credibility, and that is just the POINT. Sure, buy her books now and look at the vids. That helps Michael's legacy.

If she had been forceful on media when she had the chance, BEFORE the trial, it's possible there would have BEEN NO TRIAL. There are times in a life when one must step up, or step off. She stepped off, big-time.

So, I'm NOT saying that she's not "credible" in terms of Jordan Chandler's father. About that, she IS/WAS. But, she was right THERE, in her moment, on the Geraldo Rivera show, and he asked her, "Tell us WHY you think Michael is innocent? Tell us HOW you know?" And she said absolutely NOTHING, but "read my book." An opportunity wasted. Gone. Some chances never come back. . . . (she did the same on the other talk shows back then, too. Just "read my book.")

But, I am NOT saying that she's not credible. She is. (but not about the current situation). She had her chance to help Michael in a genuine way, and she blew it. I cannot forgive her for that. But that's just me. Others, think what you want.

EddieJonesJr

Eddie Jones Jr President of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association

EDDIE JONES JR - PLEASE STOP ABUSING PEOPLE IN MICHAEL JACKSON’S NAME.

This letter is being provided for posting because it is believed to be a NECESSARY and ETHTICAL step in helping to prevent someone else out there from becoming a victim of financial abuse, intimidation, or any other mistreatment at the hands of Eddie Jones Jr., President of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS LETTER IS NOT ABOUT SLANDER OR DEFAMATION OF ANYONE’S CHARACTER. IT IS NOT ABOUT ATTACKING EDDIE JONES JR OR GERALDINE HUGHES. IT IS A TRUE ACCOUNT OF HOW ONE HUMAN BEING GROSSLY MISTREATED ANOTHER VULNERABLE HUMAN BEING UNDER THE FALSE GUISE OF SHARING MICHAEL JACKSON-RELATED “EXPERIENCES” TOGETHER…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS LETTER HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND AUTHORIZED BY DANIEL. THIS IS HIS OWN ACCOUNT OF HIS EXPERIENCES WITH EDDIE JONES JR AND GERALDINE HUGHES.
Daniel is a life-long fan of Michael Jackson. He is a disabled young man who is confined to a wheelchair. He arrived here in California back in November. Daniel is visiting from another country, alone- (*He does not want this letter to include specific information about where he is from). Daniel left his home country to come back to California for a vacation and so that he could be close to Michael again. He knew Michael for about fourteen years. Daniel Stayed at Neverland Ranch with Michael. Michael even invited him to The This Is It concert. He says that he is also acquainted with other members of Michael’s family. While in California, Daniel was contacted by Eddie Jones Jr through FaceBook. Eddie was aware that Daniel knew Michael. Eddie extended an invitation to Daniel to travel to Las Vegas together because Daniel had never been there and he wanted to visit the city that Michael had once lived in and loved. Eddie promised Daniel that he would show him around, take him to places where Michael had lived and frequently visited, AND he promised to introduce Daniel to other Jackson Family members/friends who live in Las Vegas. Eddie led Daniel to believe that he has an ongoing personal relationship with the Jackson Family as a friend and as a public relations type spokesperson/representative.
Daniel was very happy about Eddie’s invitation. BUT WHAT DANIEL DID NOT KNOW was that Eddie would expect him to FULLY PAY FOR EDDIE’S LODGING, FOOD, CARE, AND OTHER EXPENSES while in Las Vegas, which Daniel did not discover until after they had arrived in Las Vegas at around 3:00a.m. on December 2nd. At the point of their arrival, Eddie informed Daniel that he didn’t have any money to pay for a hotel and asked Daniel to pay. Daniel did. The Palms Hotel was selected because it was known as a “MICHAEL JACKSON” hotel- Michael had been there frequently… SO OF COURSE IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. The next morning, Eddie advised Daniel that he did not have money for breakfast and asked Daniel to pay. Daniel did. From this point forward, for about two weeks, Daniel paid for everything to take care of himself and Eddie. One morning, Eddie asked Daniel to go get him some money from the ATM cash machine downstairs in the hotel lobby area. By this time, Daniel had already started feeling that he was becoming trapped by Eddie’s behavior and demands. He was starting to realize that he was being grossly taken advantage of, ABUSED. He made a decision to try to protect himself from any further abuse. He went down to the ATM machine and pretended that his ATM card did not work. When Daniel told Eddie that his ATM card did not work, Eddie questioned Daniel and challenged him, saying to Daniel that all the other times his ATM card worked fine and that he suspected that something was going on, something that he “didn’t like.” Daniel says that Eddie spoke these words to him in a very harsh and hostile tone and that it was “scary.” Daniel felt intimidated and afraid. Eddie persisted that Daniel give him money. This situation eventually escalated to the point of the hotel security and staff having to completely remove Eddie from Daniel’s room AND from the entire Hotel. Reportedly, Eddie is not allowed to ever return to the Palms Hotel because of the inappropriate and volatile behaviors that he exhibited in the hotel that morning/afternoon.
Several days later, Daniel received a telephone call from Geraldine Hughes, a very close friend (and ex-girlfriend) of Eddie’s. She told Daniel that Eddie was telling a Jackson Family member that Daniel was wasting money on excessive drinking and partying at clubs. BUT DANIEL DOES NOT DRINK. And Daniel was suspicious of Geraldine’s information because he had recently been informed that Eddie’s efforts to contact or work with the Jackson Family were not welcome. Eddie is NOT allowed to represent himself as a spokesperson or “mouthpiece” for the Jackson Family, but he reportedly continues to do so. Daniel says that is EXACTLY how Eddie was introducing himself to people while they were together in Las Vegas. Daniel received confirmation TODAY, Sunday, February 20, 2011, that Eddie had NOT been in contact with the Jacksons about any of this. So Geraldine intentionally lied to Daniel to help Eddie. Daniel feels that this was a further attempt to intimidate him into keeping quiet about this horrible ordeal.
PLEASE NOTE: This letter does NOT detail all of Daniel’s experiences with Eddie over the entire course of their time together. Daniel may or may not decide to disclose more information at a later time. But Daniel was targeted, lied to, lured to Las Vegas under false pretenses, fed empty promises, entrapped by intimidation, abused, and basically ROBBED of quite of bit of money by Eddie Jones Jr. As of tonight, Sunday February 20, 2011, Daniel has JUST figured out a way to get back to Los Angeles so that he can say goodbye to Michael at Forest Lawn and then scramble to catch his previously set flight back to his home country. He is receiving help from people in Las Vegas and Los Angeles- people who have asked to remain unnamed in this letter and completely anonymous, including myself, the person who has helped Daniel with writing this letter. Please understand that I personally KNOW Eddie Jones Jr and Geraldine Hughes, so I am not someone who is “blindly” helping Daniel with this letter from only a one-sided vantage point. They are people who I held in the highest regard for their ministry-related endeavors and for their work on Justice for Michael… They truly seemed to be good people. I am deeply saddened, disappointed, and hurt by these events. Yes, I have heard about other possible misdeeds and wrongdoings that they have been accused of committing. Some of it I have had firsthand exposure to and some of it I have not, but I have chosen to stay away from all of it and to not form opinions or judgments. In this situation, I have heard about the details directly from the victim himself-- I just can’t believe or imagine that this young man would have a reason to lie to me and to others about this. What could he possibly stand to gain?
Daniel’s last point of contact with Eddie was through a message that Eddie left on Daniel’s phone telling Daniel to call HIM if he needed help, but this message happened many days ago, and ONLY AFTER information about what Eddie had done to Daniel was actually starting to get out-- with indications that it had possibly reached people connected to the Jackson Family… So it was apparently NOT a genuine offer of help, but simply Eddie’s desperate attempt to cover up this travesty that he had committed against a disabled young man in the precious name of Michael Jackson. Since leaving that message, Eddie Jones Jr has NOT made any further attempts to help Daniel. DANIEL DOES NOT WANT ANY FUTURE CONTACT WITH EDDIE JONES JR AND GERALDINE HUGHES.
Through Daniel’s willingness to speak out in this letter, our hope is that people will be protected, plain and simple. This letter is not about anger or retaliation.
THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK AGAINST EDDIE OR GERALDINE. Simply pray for them and let’s all just take better care of each other. GOD IS WATCHING from Heaven, and so is Michael.

=================================================================

SINCE FOCUS HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THE VICTIM TO TAAJ! I NEED TO ADD THIS FOOTNOTE: Taaj IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF THIS LETTER!
Taaj DID NOT want to post ANY information pertaining to Eddie Jones Jr. (or Geraldine Hughes) because she had previously made a good-faith commitment and promise to refrain from engaging in ANY further activities or interactions involving these two people. Taaj’s reasons for entering into such an agreement and the people with whom the agreement was made are confidential, so they cannot be disclosed here. However, given the serious nature of the abuse that was perpetrated against the victim described in this letter, Taaj was able to obtain a limited “blessing” to help with this serious matter, ONLY for the sake of protecting others from possibly falling into harm’s way. Now in good conscience, and without compromising her commitment, Taaj is posting Links to this letter to provide this RELEVANT WARNING INFORMATION

every person might be able to show negative behaviour or to lie for whatsoever reason thats why i am not only confused but even kind of irritated....

people like me, michael fans really carrying him close to his heart and fighting for love and justice in the name of michael, dont know how to handle this.

cause everybody could be the one not telling the truth how should we decide? as well as eddie and geraldine could follow the path of getting money and a bit of stardom out of michaels name and treat people badly, daniel could as well. eddie and geraldinge do so much for michael and in his name so for what reason should the act like this and at the same time show so much support for michael, there wouldnt be any need to do this, getting money for the fact that they knew michael could be more easy for them. but -and the worst is somebody telling the truth and not getting support- they could as well have another face like this daniel described. we all dont now them personally and nobody is ever able to just judge from the distance if this is the truth or not - there are always two positions. they could -as any human being doesnt matter how good you know someone- as well have some bad parts of character - or not.....

same with daniel, the fact that he is disabled and maybe treated like this is horrible really bad, but at the same time lets think about the fact that michael as he was living had many people around to whom he was just doing good things and still these people turned against him and told bad, horrible things about him. especially as they realized he wouldnt give them what they wanted...

so as to be seen, both of the parties has reasons to tell the truth or also to lie....both parties eddie and geraldine as well as daniel...showed her big heart and love for michael in the past but as well they could be also able to behave badly...no one knows!

so what should we as readers do know?

there are good reasons for suspect both posibilities for both parties involved and especially when it comes to michael, all sorts of people are doing so many good as well as horrible things....you never know who is what kind of character...that is the problem...

i am really feeling deeply sorry for everbody bad treated and i feel it really painful to discover the fact, that one of the two parties involved was and is treated badly but i think that i cant judge about this..

i really wanna know the truth but regarding things like this its so difficult...cause:

as soon as we judge we could at the same time be horribly unfair to the other party...we just cant know the truth since we dont know them personally and even then it would be difficult!!!!!

i hope whatever happend the people involved think about michael and his message and really do what he wanted and deserves: live with love, courage and always stand up for justice!!!

Who do you think set up those pay pal accounts FOR Eddie Jones.. TAAJ MALIK!
February 21, 2011 10:29 AM
I used to follow Eddie Jones and sent him over $80. The paypal account was set up and posted by Geraldine Hughes. Taaj has not been involved with Eddie Jones since June 2010.

ABUSE VICTIMS OFTEN REMAIN IN THEIR SITUATIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ESCAPE OR BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED OR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO OTHER HELP. Children, the elderly, and vulnerable disabled people are abused by their parents or caregivers FOR YEARS because they can't leave...there are many many reasons why the victim cannot or won't leave... Do not turn on the victim in this situation. No, those of us who were not there may not know the FULL STORY, but apparently the person who helped Daniel write the letter felt enough conviction to want to help. I do NOT read judgment in that letter, the writer DID indicate that he or she personally knew EJ and GH and indicated that he or she held them in the highest regard. Additionally, I did NOT see anywhere in the letter where the writer or Daniel said that EJ and GH are "bad people" but what I DID see was someone attempting to help a person who felt horribly victimized. I DID see a victim being brave enough to speak out against those whom he felt had harmed him- and he repeatedly said in the letter that this was NOT about retaliation or anger, he simply wanted others to be forewarned so that perhaps this could be prevented from happening to someone else.

AND WHY ON EARTH HAS THIS TURNED INTO AN ATTACK AGAINST TAAJ. TAAJ DID NOT WRITE THE LETTER, SHE SIMPLY POSTED A LINK. If someone tries to do something like this in the name of trying to protect another potential victim, then they are BLASTED. If someone who knows about this and chooses to keep silent and it happens to others and it is revealed that people KNEW in advance about this kind of behavior but they did NOT say anything, then they would STILL BE BLASTED. so people are damned if they do help and damned if they don't try to help.

IF THIS TRULY HAPPENED, then IT SHOULD BE PUT OUT THERE TO HELP WARN OTHERS.

Granted, it can be a fair question to wonder if perhaps Daniel has lied because we as readers don't know him, so for those who questioned that, I am not saying that we should all just believe everything we read, but let's just say that he IS telling the truth, then he is a very brave soul to come forward. IF he is lying, then it will come back on him- I believe that you do reap what you sow, call it kharma or whatever you believe in but if Daniel lied, then he will one day face payback in one way or another... But I do NOT believe that he lied. He certainly could have had that letter written in a MUCH MORE DAMAGING WAY if he was out there just wanting to lie about EJ and GH. If he was intent on telling a tale of lies, then he could have been a bit more creative, he could have elected to "conjure up" some horrible gory instances of abuse or mistreatment but it seems like he just gave a general description of what happened... this is just one way to look at it. Yes, I am aware of the "good things" it seems that EJ and GH have done in terms of Justice For Michael, but do any of us know the true motives in another's hearts, do we KNOW that they or anyone else out there are truly in this for Michael OR do they or others see opportunities, or self-serving gains or fame or whatever else...? all people are capable of doing good and bad, of being two-sided or even multiple-sided... all kinds of "good people" started seeing dollar signs after Michael died... even while he was alive. and no, someone's good deeds does not mean that they are incapable of doing bad deeds too. People's good deeds should be recognized for what they are- good deeds- But the good deeds should NOT be used as justification for saying that an occasional bad deed here or there can be excused because gosh they have some good deeds too, especially if the bad is something as bad as what was done to Daniel. GOOD DEEDS DO NOT NULLIFY THE BAD MISTREATMENT OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, PERIOD. (continued below.... we should not...)

ORIGINAL POSTING IS QUOTED AS FOLLOWS: "Something doesn't add up. Why did Daniel continue paying Eddie's way for two weeks? That is not abuse when Daniel is allowing this to happen. Why didn't Daniel get on a plane and fly back to Los Angeles if he didn't approve of his treatment by Eddie? Why is Daniel just now returning from Vegas? I don't know if Eddie is a con artist or not because we haven't heard his side of the story. The person that wrote this article is being judgmental and needs to read again what she wrote."

MY REPLY: WOW! I don't even know where to begin, but let me start at the beginning of your post.

You adamantly state YOUR OPINION that it is NOT ABUSE because it went on for two (2) weeks and because Daniel didn't just hop “on a plane and fly back to Los Angeles.”

Well, with all due respect: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THE VICTIM OF ABUSE (Criminal: Domestic, Sexual, or otherwise)??? Because if you had, you would NEVER MAKE SUCH AN INSENSITIVE STATEMENT AS SUCH. People who abuse others are "Master Manipulators." You don't dare speak up because if you do, then WATCH OUT!!! Do you even know how hard it is to speak up when you have been abused??? He was probably so scared at what retaliatory acts he may suffer if he spoke up and told his story. Why would Daniel lie and what would be in it for Daniel to tell his story if it was not the truth???

Furthermore, it appears to me that Daniel could not "just hop on a plane back to Los Angeles." If you look at his picture that is posted on his Facebook page taken of himself with Joe Jackson, it appears to me that he is severely disabled, in a wheelchair, without limbs (BLESS HIS HEART)! I cannot even imagine how vulnerable he must have felt (as I believe from what I understand from his Facebook Page he is from another Country outside the United States). Daniel may have to be reliant on others because of his disability! It does not sound like you personally know the situation; therefore, I believe you should not "ASSUME" the worst of Daniel.

Also, it is interesting how you further go on to make a "JUDGMENT" that the person writing this article is being "JUDGMENTAL" and needs to read again what "SHE" wrote. How do you know it was a “SHE” who wrote this??? Talk about the pot calling the kettle....

With that being said, how do you consider it being "Judgmental" when the letter was authorized by Daniel? It states so right in the article that the letter was authorized by Daniel himself. Why, then are you stating it was a "SHE" who wrote it?

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR POSTING IS JUST ANOTHER RETALIATORY ACT AGAINST SOMEONE SPEAKING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!

If you were a true, loyal, dedicated, and honest fan of Michael Jackson's, you would not speak in such a negative way about another human being that you apparently have NEVER MET or know the TRUTH about!

(that resulted in the 1993 accusations). At the time of the trial, she published a book called Michael Jackson Redemption. (or something like that. .) In that book, she recounted the conversations she overheard. She marketed the book primarily on fan-sites. (I've read the book. Other than the conversations she overheard, the book was largely religious in nature.)

Geraldine fell from grace, in my opinion, when she was asked to make the talk show rounds, and appear on the Geraldo Rivera show (during the trial). In my opinion, she was of NO help to Michael. She refused to state anything that she had overheard, and just said, "Read my book!" She was soon dropped from the interview circuit. To me, she seemed far more interested in marketing the book, than in helping Michael! She COULD have helped (tv interviews), but really didn't.

I believe she came to know the Jackson family as a result of her Redemption book. In the current situation, she has made statements about Murray that are very questionable, and is apparently trying to write/market another book. This one, about Michael's death. I can't see how she could have any first-hand knowledge about that, at ALL. (She didn't really KNOW Michael, or Murray.) I believe she made a comment to a tabloid that Murray was in a strip-club at the time of Michael's death, but could offer nothing in the way of proof.

In the statement above, she wrote: "Michael Jackson allowed me to speak publicly on his behalf in 2003/2004 because he knew that I had the ears and eyes of the fans and was fully persuaded that I believed in his innocence." I highly doubt that, but.. whatever. . . She COULD have spoken "on his behalf," as anyone with information about the 1993 allegations could have. But, she must have felt that telling the TRUTH on tv would reduce book sales? (It actually had the opposite effect.) She was a major source of frustration for a lot of us who were active during the trial. She COULD have "spoken up," but chose not to. . . .

She's the female equivalent of Oxman. In my opinion, of course.

Well, my opinion is, given her behavior during the trial, that the less she says, the better. So, good. after Michael's death we have seen her in the circle of Eddie Jones -

We have seen her on ustream talking about a federal investigation and marching to white house and discuss this with Obama (what happened to that?).

She also attended court hearings and if you watched any live streams of TMZ and X17online you would see her RUSH AFTER THE HEARING TO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO THE PRESS. She was again saying this is murder, blames, asks for federal investigation while PROMOTING HER BOOK. (I have also seen her being rude to fans on live streams - 1-2 fan approached her saying "?????????????" and she responded back with "you all need to LEAVE ME ALONE! get away from me")Rumor is that Jackson family asked her not to speak anymore and want the family to be represented by other people.

Like she mentioned that someone told her that they saw Murray drinking at a strip club the night of the 24th but there was no evidence to suggest that. Even her book didn't sit well with critics as she constantly called Michael an angel sent from God which critics accused her of being an 'obsessed fangirl'. Aphrodite Jones have been accused of the same though!

Mostly, I dislike her for her behavior during the trial, where she went on tv and only said, "If you want to know, buy my book." She could have helped Michael. And didn't.

Geraldine is writing/promoting a NEW book, now. Hence, a lot of attempts at exposure. (I really doubt that Obama has any intention of rolling out the red carpet for her. Or any carpet at all?.) I saw most if not all of her interviews & I agree they were not helpful. Abrams I remember being very frustrated with her as she did say "If you want to know, buy my book."

I stopped reading her book at page 58, when she wrote that "Mr. Pellicano is a very tall, slender-built man, handsome and very gracious. He was a respectable man and had high regards for my mother's courage in persuading me to come forth." Those are words I would never use to describe the asshole Pellicano. (A TRUE ATTENTION SEEKING WHORE)

I seriously doubt that she has any knowledge at all if "Murray was at a strip club" that night, or was not. And THAT adds to tabloid fodder, and clouds the picture of what really could have happened to Michael. She has no inside knowledge now that I can possibly imagine. She's writing a book.

She had a piece of important information during the trial, and I'll give her credit for putting it in a book. She deserves NO credit for any other kind of support, though. She could have been a strong voice for Michael's defense, but on media was no voice at all. And she could have been!

And yes, she was interviewed by Mary Fischer for her article. Fischer is a very credible journalist. So in that sense, Geraldine's information was already OUT THERE, and was widely read.

Whatever. I'm just glad she is no longer in the courtroom to use Michael murder to her own benefit

All I've seen yet is trying to financially gain from his fans in writing books... like lots of writers try... and usually when I get an abstract or something on fan boards I do get this feeling they are not telling me anything which I do not know and I still feel I know Michael much better cuz I feel this love and deep admiration for him.

I don't blame her... that's a job obviously existing in this world just like it seems a valid job for some of the Jacksons to be a brother or a sister of a superstar... and if ppl want to live like that... that's ok cuz it's their freedom of choice not to go and learn something else I suppose.

But this... it's just (again) too much drama to me... and to me it looks pretty much like trying to use fans for personal agendas and/or then later financial gain.

Geraldine and Jones do not know ANYTHING more than what the most diligent fans know. I, for one, wish that people would choose a different career direction than making money off of Michael.

Sometimes in life, there are moments when one must step up, or step OFF. She stepped OFF. I watched her on the Geraldo Rivera show. He asked her. "WHAT do you know that will exonerate Michael?" "And instead of helping him, she said absolutely NOTHING. NOTHING! She just said, "Read my book to find out." At that moment, she stepped OFF, and did what so many have done. . .saw Michael as an income opportunity, but not a person worth SAVING. And . . she didn't. That was her moment, and she blew it.

Aphrodite Jones has no "inside information" at all. If she wants to write a book then fine. Join the club. She witnessed NOTHING, and has no more information that any credible fan does.

As far as the "courtroom" is concerned? All that testimony was online, for anyone to read. I KNOW. I read it, too. Aphrodite and Geraldine don't know anything more than the fans do, who read it at that time.

Personally? I'm sick and tired of people trying to make money off of Michael. Where WERE they, when it really counted?

I know. I've spoken to her, personally, when her support would have counted, and I KNOW. And yeah, carry on, and I'm out.

I have several problems with Hughes. For one she did not go to the police when she thought it was extortion.

For another, in this vid at approx :56 she talks about Pellicano being in prison, so she knows his history. Since she actually 'knows' him, anytime he came up in the news, she would have paid close attention. She is still of the belief that he is a great guy???

She does make a great point at about 2:40 that he was arrested the same month as MJ. Probably not a coincidence. My bet is Barresi had something to do with it. He probably saw an opportunity to make money & needed Pellicano out of the way. When the feds went after Pellicano again for more charges & was on trial - Barresi went to the trial & sentencing. To make sure his job was done. Pellicano was a complete fool - totally setup by Weitzman & Barresi to take the fall for all the lawyers. He was a complete idiot to not roll over.

And she's wrong about Cochran being the one wanting to settle, it was Weitzman first who wanted to settle right away at the beginning in house actually. Cochran came in on Dec. 20 - it had been setup. Cochran was friends with Garcetti & Feldman:

“It was our hope that this would all go away. We tried to keep it as much in-house as we could.” Howard Weitzman

And it was Elizabeth Taylor who introduced Weitzman to Pellicano, as Pellicano found the bones of Mike Todd. Interesting. she can use this now and put it in her book

But, I would never discredit what she said in her book, about a extortion plot against MIchael.

She DID have credibility, and that is just the POINT. Sure, buy her books now and look at the vids. That helps Michael's legacy.

If she had been forceful on media when she had the chance, BEFORE the trial, it's possible there would have BEEN NO TRIAL. There are times in a life when one must step up, or step off. She stepped off, big-time.

So, I'm NOT saying that she's not "credible" in terms of Jordan Chandler's father. About that, she IS/WAS. But, she was right THERE, in her moment, on the Geraldo Rivera show, and he asked her, "Tell us WHY you think Michael is innocent? Tell us HOW you know?" And she said absolutely NOTHING, but "read my book." An opportunity wasted. Gone. Some chances never come back. . . . (she did the same on the other talk shows back then, too. Just "read my book.")

But, I am NOT saying that she's not credible. She is. (but not about the current situation). She had her chance to help Michael in a genuine way, and she blew it. I cannot forgive her for that. But that's just me. Others, think what you want.

At a press conference, with your book surgically attached to your hand. I say her credibility hit shot to hell.
