I felt the victim was very credible. 309 00:24:45,130 --> 00:24:48,470 But once that was settled, our case was gone. 310 00:24:49,190 --> 00:24:50,190 It was killed. 311 00:24:53,410 --> 00:24:53,890 One 312 00:24:53,890 --> 00:25:00,470 afternoon, 313 00:25:00,850 --> 00:25:02,850 I was cleaning in Michael's room. 314 00:25:03,190 --> 00:25:07,420 And he came up to me and he said, Adrian, this is for you. 315 00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:13,340 And he handed me an index card, and he wrote on it, Adrian, thanks for 316 00:25:13,340 --> 00:25:14,340 everything. 317 00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:18,360 I opened it, and it was three $100 bills. 318 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,760 I felt like that was a payoff to cover up for him. 319 00:25:27,340 --> 00:25:29,400 Kind of sad, so I don't know. 320 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,300 Can you guys hold on?

Sure. 330 00:26:23,340 --> 00:26:25,980 But their visa family was very different. 331 00:26:27,580 --> 00:26:29,920 They were determined that they weren't going to take money. 332 00:26:31,820 --> 00:26:33,260 Gavin was going to testify. 333 00:26:45,290 --> 00:26:46,290 I'm very different. 334 00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:49,050 I don't follow a trail.

It's a human tragedy. 347 00:27:32,940 --> 00:27:36,640 There was a certain sense of privilege of being able to cover it. 348 00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:39,880 What do we know about the 12 -year -old? The story today is he's a cancer 349 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,720 survivor.

He came in, he waved briefly to his fans. He came 360 00:28:20,270 --> 00:28:22,450 in with Jermaine, his brother, and his mother. 361 00:28:22,690 --> 00:28:25,970 He was elaborately dressed, sort of a regal thing. 362 00:28:26,930 --> 00:28:31,370 He also wore a band, and I guess the significance of the band was for him 363 00:28:31,370 --> 00:28:32,370 saying, I'm innocent. 364 00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:38,510 From everything I've seen and I've heard and I've followed, there's no way he's 365 00:28:38,510 --> 00:28:39,510 guilty, you know. 366 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,220 The sale of his record soared. I said, Michael, your records are selling like 367 00:28:48,220 --> 00:28:50,860 hotcakes. Your fans believe in you. 368 00:28:51,140 --> 00:28:54,940 And I am going to prove you innocent. 369 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,360 The jury in the Michael Jackson trial will hear two very different stories 370 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,620 opening statements began today. 371 00:29:01,860 --> 00:29:05,960 The defense is expected to describe Jackson as the victim of a money -hungry 372 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,300 who coached her son to lie for cash. 373 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,800 The prosecution, on the other hand, will paint Jackson as a wicked pedophile who 374 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,180 got a sick boy drunk to molest him. 375 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,380 Did I ever feel that we had it in the bag? No, not at all. Not at all. 376 00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:26,720 I knew that ultimately, for a jury, it would be very easy for them to absolve 377 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,040 themselves of any of the responsibility of him going off into prison. 378 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,880 That was my biggest fear. 379 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,240 Now it's all up to them, the jury. Four men, eight women. 380 00:29:37,580 --> 00:29:43,560 You're very conscious of what you're doing and what the magnitude of your 381 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,760 participation is. 382 00:29:45,740 --> 00:29:48,940 It's Michael Jackson's legacy up for grabs. 383 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:56,580 Is he going to be remembered as this person that just loved children or one 384 00:29:56,580 --> 00:30:01,160 the world's greatest entertainers who was a child molester? 385 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,700 It was Martin Bashir's documentary, Living With Michael Jackson, which 386 00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:09,160 an investigation which led to this trial. 387 00:30:09,780 --> 00:30:15,640 When people hear that children from other families have come and they've 388 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,300 in your house, they've stayed in your bedroom, 389 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,540 Well, very few. 390 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,120 But, you know, some have. 391 00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:26,060 I thought that that was good, compelling evidence for us. It's the admission 392 00:30:26,060 --> 00:30:27,820 that he sleeps with kids. 393 00:30:28,340 --> 00:30:33,400 Is that really appropriate for a man, a grown man, to be doing that? How do you 394 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,360 respond to that? I feel sorry for them because that's judging someone who wants 395 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,580 to really help people. 396 00:30:38,980 --> 00:30:40,220 Why can't you share your bed? 397 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,480 The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone. 398 00:30:45,620 --> 00:30:47,040 You really think that? 399 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,280 Yeah. 400 00:30:48,450 --> 00:30:54,210 Martin Bashir's reaction to it, I thought was the reaction a reasonable 401 00:30:54,210 --> 00:30:55,210 would have. 402 00:30:55,330 --> 00:30:58,190 How do you justify having children in your bed? 403 00:30:58,530 --> 00:31:03,570 What other adult man do you know anywhere in the world who does that 404 00:31:03,570 --> 00:31:04,570 a pedophile? 405 00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:09,350 Who would you be willing to let your children sleep with in terms of an adult 406 00:31:09,350 --> 00:31:10,350 man? 407 00:31:10,850 --> 00:31:12,390 And the answer is nobody. 408 00:31:13,180 --> 00:31:18,020 The defense set out to undermine Martin Bashir's credibility, bombarding him 409 00:31:18,020 --> 00:31:22,400 with questions, most of which he refused to answer, citing a journalist's right 410 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,660 to protect his sources. 411 00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:28,620 Jackson and Gavin had a very emotional connection. 412 00:31:32,780 --> 00:31:36,560 When they first met, Gavin was recovering from cancer, he had been 413 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,680 sick, and Michael Jackson was there to offer support. 414 00:31:42,830 --> 00:31:47,190 Gavin said Michael would do things that would take down inhibitions. 415 00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:55,390 And then it escalates into increasingly sexual language. So he's 416 00:31:55,390 --> 00:31:58,330 desensitizing kids. 417 00:31:58,550 --> 00:32:05,130 He makes them feel like they're culpable.

The other is that maybe it's just a ploy to drum up some 468 00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:50,260 kind of sympathy from the jury. 469 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,560 A cynic would say, brilliant orchestration to destabilize the 470 00:35:56,820 --> 00:35:59,420 I mean, this guy knows. 471 00:35:59,770 --> 00:36:04,710 how to direct the attention to him and away from what's happening inside court. 472 00:36:04,950 --> 00:36:08,630 And he did it over and over and over again. 473 00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:10,410 What does this kid have to say? 474 00:36:10,750 --> 00:36:14,170 Well, I'll tell you, he comes across as a very believable, articulate, and 475 00:36:14,170 --> 00:36:15,170 sympathetic witness. 476 00:36:15,290 --> 00:36:19,230 This boy has been waiting in the wings for this moment, and his moment has 477 00:36:20,950 --> 00:36:22,770 It's kind of strange. 478 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:28,290 You know, here we sit, you know, 20 years later, and I'm still remembering. 479 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:35,660 how I felt, he absolutely looked believable to me. 480 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:43,000 To me he appeared to be a child that was going through this really 481 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:49,480 terrible struggle to admit 482 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:56,360 that as a boy he had been molested by a 483 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,360 man. 484 00:36:57,610 --> 00:37:02,110 Now you have to tell your story in front of the world, talk about all these 485 00:37:02,110 --> 00:37:04,630 things that you did. You know, that's really hard to do. 486 00:37:06,850 --> 00:37:11,230 It's the worst thing that a boy would ever have to say out loud. 487 00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:16,330 It's why most men go to their death with these secrets. 488 00:37:23,430 --> 00:37:25,070 And now the race is on. 489 00:37:25,450 --> 00:37:30,430 Can Jackson's defense sufficiently discredit a child witness over the next 490 00:37:30,430 --> 00:37:32,270 days without upsetting him? 491 00:37:32,510 --> 00:37:36,750 We went to trial with the molestations that took place in the three -week 492 00:37:36,750 --> 00:37:38,210 after the Bashir documentary. 493 00:37:38,950 --> 00:37:42,750 We believe that he was molesting Gavin prior to that as well. 494 00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:48,830 But I think that the bulk of the molestation and all of the charged 495 00:37:48,830 --> 00:37:51,310 the molestation occurred during the three -week period. 496 00:37:52,460 --> 00:37:54,540 Why would he do it with that focus of attention? 497 00:37:54,860 --> 00:37:56,780 The answer is he can't help himself. 498 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,140 He was a pedophile. 499 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,760 Michael Jackson's lawyers are taking aim at his accuser. 500 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,640 Jackson's lawyer's clear intention is to paint this boy as someone whose word 501 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,980 the jury simply cannot afford to trust. 502 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:14,600 We asked the prosecution when it was that Michael Jackson molested Gavin 503 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,720 Harvey's. One incident was February 21st, they said. 504 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,920 The family was at the ranch. Gavin was in bed with Michael and Star, the 505 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:30,300 brother, came up the stairway and Star saw Michael masturbating the boy in bed. 506 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,080 I said, really? 507 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:38,600 I have here an article from the Palm Beach newspaper, February 22, that the 508 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:43,120 before Michael Jackson was seen shopping in Palm Beach, Florida. 509 00:38:44,140 --> 00:38:48,120 Now, how was it that he was at Neverland Ranch on the 21st? 510 00:38:49,010 --> 00:38:52,030 Bingo, I got him. Michael was telling the truth. 511 00:38:52,250 --> 00:38:53,670 These accusers were not. 512 00:38:56,730 --> 00:39:01,890 It's a tough thing for kids to come forward and publicly talk about having 513 00:39:01,890 --> 00:39:02,970 victim of sex crime. 514 00:39:03,870 --> 00:39:09,310 Very often, the victims of sexual abuse can't say with certainty the details of 515 00:39:09,310 --> 00:39:12,430 what had happened on this occasion or that occasion or the next occasion. 516 00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:14,730 It's just the nature of the phenomena. 517 00:39:15,470 --> 00:39:19,130 This isn't a whodunit where there's clearly a crime and one or more victims. 518 00:39:19,370 --> 00:39:20,850 This is a, did it really happen? 519 00:39:21,170 --> 00:39:27,210 Everything about this case is confounding. 520 00:39:27,650 --> 00:39:31,410 There's the innocent explanation and the sinister explanation. 521 00:39:33,070 --> 00:39:35,230 Is Gavin the accuser credible? 522 00:39:35,630 --> 00:39:37,210 Is Michael Jackson credible? 523 00:39:37,890 --> 00:39:38,890 You decide. 524 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,440 The defense in the Michael Jackson trial suffered a big setback today. The judge 525 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,380 said he will allow the prosecution to present evidence that Jackson has been 526 00:39:54,380 --> 00:39:56,900 accused of molesting children before. 527 00:39:57,580 --> 00:40:03,220 What we were able to bring in with regards to past bad acts was that a 528 00:40:03,220 --> 00:40:07,180 years earlier, Jordan Chandler walked away with millions of dollars. 529 00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:12,560 The jury looks at that and they think, come on, how is this going to happen 530 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:17,490 twice? It's a huge blow to Jackson, and it's great news for prosecutors. They 531 00:40:17,490 --> 00:40:21,450 essentially get a second chance to make a first impression, and the whole case 532 00:40:21,450 --> 00:40:23,090 has changed. It's a new dynamic. 533 00:40:27,830 --> 00:40:31,090 What happened 10 years ago is irrelevant. 534 00:40:32,690 --> 00:40:38,990 You have to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on what 535 00:40:38,990 --> 00:40:42,350 they did now, not what they did before. 536 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,960 Oh, you can besmirch the defendant, you can make the defendant look bad. 537 00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:49,080 That's not evidence. 538 00:40:50,060 --> 00:40:51,600 That's character assassination. 539 00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:59,960 When I left Neverland and walked out of that job, me and a lot of the employees, 540 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:05,860 we sued Mr. Jackson for the treatment that we got, the things that we saw, 541 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,740 Michael with kids and stuff. 542 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,920 There were a lot of different counts, and there was molestation in there. 543 00:41:12,910 --> 00:41:15,170 The judge ruled that we could not bring up molestation. 544 00:41:16,710 --> 00:41:18,170 We lost our lawsuit. 545 00:41:20,270 --> 00:41:24,610 So when I got called for his trial, I didn't want nothing to do with Michael. 546 00:41:25,310 --> 00:41:28,170 I didn't even want to look at him. 547 00:41:29,070 --> 00:41:33,490 Former Jackson maid Adrienne McManus is now on the stand. She is talking about 548 00:41:33,490 --> 00:41:36,710 the parade of young boys who came through Neverland. 549 00:41:38,170 --> 00:41:43,310 When I walked in there, he looked at me like... Oh, Adrian, where have you been? 550 00:41:43,790 --> 00:41:44,790 I've missed you. 551 00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:48,810 That angered me because I could see the games through him. 552 00:41:49,990 --> 00:41:53,850 You know, I saw what he did to me. I saw that he only cared about himself. 553 00:41:54,990 --> 00:42:00,690 I said what I had to say about what I saw with Mr. Jackson and Jordan Chandler 554 00:42:00,690 --> 00:42:02,050 and what I had seen. 555 00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:05,070 And Michael just turned his face. 556 00:42:05,870 --> 00:42:07,350 He would not look at me again. 557 00:42:07,670 --> 00:42:10,070 And I thought, good, I am free from you now. 558 00:42:11,370 --> 00:42:12,430 You don't control me. 559 00:42:18,290 --> 00:42:22,690 I truly felt that Michael Jackson was a child molester. 560 00:42:23,070 --> 00:42:27,730 I felt that then, and I haven't changed my mind now. I still feel that way. 561 00:42:28,050 --> 00:42:31,950 But I had to give Michael Jackson the benefit of the doubt. 562 00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:36,110 You know, he really didn't do this or whatever. That's what the jury was 563 00:42:36,110 --> 00:42:37,110 supposed to do. 564 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,960 What should have been a damaging account instead fizzled after Tom Mesereau 565 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,280 dismantled her on cross -examination, getting her to admit she tried to sue 566 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,900 Jackson and lost, and lied in an earlier deposition. 567 00:42:53,100 --> 00:42:54,300 They destroyed us. 568 00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:02,320 So, and that's, like I said, I get angry that, you know, a lot of people, 569 00:43:02,380 --> 00:43:07,220 especially the jurors, right away they were like, yeah, these people. 570 00:43:08,170 --> 00:43:13,970 They just want money. They just want money. It was a tough situation dealing 571 00:43:13,970 --> 00:43:14,970 with that. 572 00:43:16,470 --> 00:43:20,710 The problem that we had was that a number of the people who worked for him 573 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:27,650 brought a lawsuit against him and lost and ended up with a 574 00:43:27,650 --> 00:43:34,110 judgment against them for expenses, a judgment that they never paid, 575 00:43:34,270 --> 00:43:37,070 and it seriously affected their credibility. 576 00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:40,800 and their ability to be able to talk about what had happened. 577 00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:42,720 It really hurt us. 578 00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:52,280 There was another witness that really, to this day, sticks with me, was 579 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,660 Jordan Chandler's mom. 580 00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:01,580 The latest twist in his trial, a claim that Michael Jackson begged a young 581 00:44:01,580 --> 00:44:04,540 mother to allow the youngster to sleep with him. 582 00:44:05,550 --> 00:44:10,130 That allegation was made by June Chandler, who said she was showered with 583 00:44:10,130 --> 00:44:15,150 jewelry by the singer as he swept her family off on trips to Monaco, Florida, 584 00:44:15,350 --> 00:44:16,350 and Las Vegas. 585 00:44:17,170 --> 00:44:22,310 I remember her taking a stand just 10 years after Jordan's situation. 586 00:44:24,970 --> 00:44:31,910 And she said she was a horrible mother, and her exact words was, I sold my son 587 00:44:31,910 --> 00:44:33,270 to Michael Jackson. 588 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,980 She said that she hadn't heard from her son, and she understood why. 589 00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:41,300 I just thought, oh, my gosh. 590 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:47,400 It moved me. I can't understand how it would not have moved any jury. 591 00:44:51,060 --> 00:44:55,940 I thought it was very damaging testimony, particularly the moment where 592 00:44:55,940 --> 00:45:01,260 that Michael Jackson, crying and shaking and trembling, begged her to allow. 593 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:08,360 her son to sleep with him and basically said we're family well they're not 594 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:14,060 family why should a mother be asked to trust a middle -aged man to be entitled 595 00:45:14,060 --> 00:45:20,760 to sleep with her son i thought oh my gosh what kind of grown man 596 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:26,800 would try because this mother decides she don't want to bring her little boy 597 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,420 have a sleepover with you and i thought 598 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:36,040 She's gonna lose this thing what possessed a mother to allow her son to 599 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:40,760 stranger's bed was never made clear But asked by the prosecution as she 600 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,400 concluded her testimony whether she regretted placing her trust in Michael 601 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:52,320 Jackson June Chandler replied very much though The message it was kind 602 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,500 of clear to me 603 00:45:54,670 --> 00:46:00,010 The parents didn't protect their sons because they were groomed as much as the 604 00:46:00,010 --> 00:46:04,390 kids were into thinking that everything was going to be okay. 605 00:46:04,750 --> 00:46:09,990 They were as awestruck with Michael Jackson as the kids themselves. 606 00:46:13,890 --> 00:46:19,370 This was what Michael Jackson would do. He was able to win over the loyalty. 607 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:24,140 of the mothers of these children by giving them lavish gifts and treating 608 00:46:24,140 --> 00:46:25,140 to a lavish lifestyle. 609 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,680 We had Jordan Chandler's mother in there. We had the proof that there was a 610 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:35,400 settlement. We had the proof that he had spent an endless amount of time in bed 611 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,860 with him. I've won cases with no more evidence than that. 612 00:46:41,580 --> 00:46:47,160 There's witness after witness that say Jackson had the pattern and practice of 613 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,400 molesting children. And I'll tell you, the jury's going to look to that, and 614 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,260 they're going to have a difficult time saying that Jackson is not a pedophile 615 00:46:54,260 --> 00:46:55,260 this case. 616 00:47:02,030 --> 00:47:06,130 If you've been affected, you can get support by heading to channel4 .com 617 00:47:06,130 --> 00:47:10,930 support and the case concludes tomorrow night from 9.
