Mark Geragos Press Conference

Mark Geragos spoke briefly outside the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office earlier today regarding his client Michael Jackson’s child molestation charges. He stated: “I’m just going to make a brief statement. I’m not going to take questions and answers. Michael is here. He has come back specifically to confront these charges head-on. He is greatly outraged by the bringing of these charges. He considers this to be a big lie. He understands the people who are outraged. Because if these charges were true, I assure you Michael would be the first to be outraged. But I’m here to tell you today that Michael has given me the authority to say on his behalf, these charges are categorically untrue. He looks forward to getting into a courtroom, as opposed to any other forum, and confronting these accusations head-on. We plan on doing that. And I am not going to take any other questions and answers. I will say, however, that he is already — for your information, at least, he is already posted the bond, and he is processed out. Thank you very much.” Read more.
