Q. All right. Now, do you remember signing a
11 document prepared by the sheriff’s department that
12 said the following: “From time to time, between
13 January 1st, 2000, and the present date, I consulted
14 one or more of those lawyers concerning Michael
15 Jackson’s interaction with me and my children at
16 Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County and
17 elsewhere, in this and other states, and concerning
18 the return of some furniture stored by or in the
19 name of Brad Miller at Dino’s Storage in North
20 Hollywood, Los Angeles County.”
21 Do you remember signing a document that had
22 those words?
23 A. Do you want me to have the document, like –
24 we’ve had this discussion over since August.
25 MR. MESEREAU: Object, Your Honor.
26 THE WITNESS: Since August, the same
27 thing –
28 THE COURT: Just a moment. I want you to 6500
1 answer the question. The question is, do you
2 remember signing that document?
3 THE WITNESS: Yes. Yes.
4 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: And the document said that
5 you had started investigating Michael Jackson
6 sometime between January 1st, 2000, and the date you
7 signed the document, which is December 18th, 2003,
8 right?
9 A. Yes. If that’s — those words are on there.
10 Q. Why would you start investigating Michael
11 Jackson around January 1st, 2000, if you didn’t meet
12 him till August 2000?
13 A. Okay. Let me explain something to you. And
14 this has already been discussed, and he knows the
15 answers. This was discussed at the end of
16 September.
17 MR. ZONEN: I’m going to object to this part
18 of the answer as nonresponsive.
19 THE COURT: Sustained.
20 THE WITNESS: This — when the sheriffs were
21 doing their investigation, they wanted to know every
22 single detail about me. George Owen Feldman is — I
23 think he’s associated in the same law firm of
24 Rothstein.
25 So the — the police department did an
26 extensive, extensive search on me as a person, and
27 so they want — they put everything in a general
28 form so they can have access to everything about me 6501
1 and my past, because they wanted to verify and make
2 sure that what they were going to do towards this
3 goliath was going to be accurate and truthful. And
4 that’s why this — this paper was made in such a
5 general way.
6 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Are you now telling the
7 jury that George Owen Feldman did represent you?
8 A. No, he didn’t represent me.
9 Q. At any time?
10 A. No, he didn’t represent me. He is one of
11 the people inside the civil law firm. But my
12 understanding — my understanding was that it was
13 only the Rothstein — Rothstein and another attorney
14 named Adler, another attorney named Ramieri. That
15 was my understanding, and it still is today.
16 Q. Let me try and ask the question again -
17 okay? – in a clearer form, because perhaps I was not
18 clear. And I apologize if I wasn’t.
19 You signed a document that said from time to
20 time between January 1st, 2000, and the date you
21 signed the document, you were investigating Michael
22 Jackson through various lawyers, correct?
23 A. Okay. There’s more information on that
24 paperwork which he purposely has taken out of
25 context. It’s — certain events are attached to
26 specific attorneys. Certain situations are attached
27 to certain attorneys.
28 Like I said, the police wanted to do an 6502
1 extensive, thorough investigation on me prior to
2 doing it on him. So they wanted everything about
3 me. So they made it in a general form. But he
4 keeps taking it out of context.
5 MR. MESEREAU: I don’t want to offend the
6 Court, Your Honor. I don’t think I actually got an
7 answer to that, but I will leave it to the Court’s
8 discretion.
9 THE COURT: Ask your next question.
10 MR. MESEREAU: Yes, Your Honor.
11 Q. You did sign this document, correct?
12 A. Yes, I did.
13 MR. MESEREAU: I would move it into
14 evidence, Your Honor.
15 THE COURT: It’s admitted.
