More from the Jacko camp. Michael Jackson's lawyer has warned the media at large that the singer will "land like a ton of bricks" on anyone who attacks
the singer while he awaits the court hearing on the latest child abuse allegations.
The announcement follows revelations that Jackson was secretly videotaped
talking about the allegations while flying on a private jet to Santa Barbara
last week. Jackson's people have obtained a temporary court order barring
anyone connected to the airline from showing the tapes.
Lawyer Mark Geragos also spoke out in support of his client telling reporters: "If anybody doesn't think, based upon what's happened so far, that the true motivation of these charges and these allegations is anything but money and the seeking of money, is living in their own Neverland".
Meanwhile the press-pack are concerning themselves with the actual allegations made by the assumed victim, cancer sufferer Gavin Arvizo. While authorities haven't said anything about the allegations, or even the actual identity of the accuser, the tabloids are full of rumour as to the circumstances that led to last week's Jacko arrest.
Word is problems began when Arvizo appeared, without his family's permission, on the Martin Bashir documentary earlier this year. Arvizo first met Jackson as part of a scheme that helps young cancer patients by making their dreams come true. The two became friends with regular phone conversations and overnight visits to Jacko's Neverland ranch. During the friendship Arizo's cancer went into remission leading the family to proclaim Jackson was key in their son's recovery. But after his appearance on the Bashir doc holding hands with the singer, Arizo started to be bullied at school. To cope with the upset the bullying caused he received counselling over the summer, and it is during those sessions that he reportedly admitted that there was more to his relationship with Jackson than just holding hands.

In 1993, Michael Jackson was accused of child molestration. He reached a finiancial settlement with the prosecutors. Since then Tom Sneddon (the district attorney) has had a grudge on Michael. In 1995 Michael Jackson recorded a song called D.S. In the lyrics it says "Dom Sheldon is a cold man", but everyone knows he was referring to Tom Sneddon. This made Sneddon even more angry with Michael. So you can see that Sneddon has a peronal grudge against Michael Jackson. For this fact alone, he should not be on the case! He knows Michael is innocent, he just wants to lock him up because he is angry that he couldn't get him the first time. As far as I know, Sneddon has never won a case. This is his last case, after this he is retiring. So you can see why Sneddon would want to win this case. He wants to lock Michael Jackson up forever. But if truth prevails, Michael will be a free man!
