Authorities Say Leaked Report Has No Bearing On Jackson Case
MTV News reports after a confidential report by child-welfare officials seemingly exonerating Michael Jackson was leaked Tuesday, authorities involved in the investigation said that the memo has no bearing on the current child-molestation case against the singer. Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon and Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Anderson responded to the memo’s leak late Tuesday in a statement reading: “Our investigators were aware of the contents of the interviews prior to seeking the search warrants and arrest warrant for Mr. Jackson.

Given what we know, we do not consider the DCFS statement a significant factor.” Read more.
