Ok read some of it. Mostly skimmed over since I remember hearing much of this when it happened.
The big problem I would have if I had been on a jury in this case would be the excessive amount of coaching that was done. In the first 20 pages one kid talks about his father's 'bachelor pad'. What 15 year old says that? He didn't say 'father' he says 'biological father'. I was adopted as well and it was always 'dad' not my 'adopted dad' and my 'biological father'. Seems way too rehearsed. If you are on a jury and you hear this in the first 15 minutes you get tainted at the rest of the story even if it has a ring of truth to it.
I'm not saying that some of the statements don't make your stomach queasy. My bottom line is that I think MJ was some sort of pedophile. Not sure the extent of it based on these readings but too much there to be nothing I think.
Just not sure I'd convict due to the excessive involvement and coaching of the prosecutor. Typical LA overproduction.
