Prosecutors Will Have Big Trouble Convicting Michael Jackson

Cindy Adams of The New York Post is painting a dire picture of the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s chances of convicting Michael Jackson on child molestation charges. Adams says, “Los Angeles legal types are saying Michael Jackson cannot be found guilty. That two lawyers earlier refused this case believing it ‘not strong enough.’ That it was shopped around for three months. That some in the Santa Barbara police community believed there wasn’t sufficient evidence to go on. That even attorneys who had opposed Michael in the first case determined they didn’t want in on this one. That forces behind the plaintiff were not motivated by familial or legal issues. That this indictment ‘could fall apart unless additional evidence is found.’ Legal brains closer at hand are calling this ‘flimsy,’ saying ‘they have nothing that’s triable’.”
