Jackson's lawyer may sue District Attorney

[emad]

Times
From Chris Ayres in Los Angeles

THE defence lawyer who won Michael Jackson his freedom is believed to be considering suing the Santa Barbara District Attorney for “malicious prosecution”.

Thomas Mesereau Jr is also said to be demanding that the defeated prosecutor, Tom “Mad Dog” Sneddon, give back the photographs taken of Mr Jackson’s genitals during a 1993 investigation into abuse claims.

Mr Jackson said the photographs, taken by detectives, were one of the most humiliating experiences of his life. His legal team are believed to fear that Mr Sneddon may leak the images to the public in revenge for losing the case.

The photographs were taken on Christmas Eve in 1993 after Jordy Chandler accused the singer of sexual molestation. Mr Jackson, 46, later settled the case for a reported $20 million. Mr Mesereau now says the singer received bad advice and should have gone to trial.

BAD move Mesereau.....

[H2O Man]

1. Grand standing.

He could file, but it would never be heard. A grand jury heard the evidence; hence, such a suit lacks merit and is nonsense. Further, a civil suit would allow the Sneddon to depose Michael Jackson. It is an empty threat.

2. MJ might be way ahead

by just settling for his Not Guilty verdict.

3. Good move by Mesereau....

Sneddon is saying he "lost" the photos of MJ.

Also Sneddon fought and won to kept the boy's medicial records out of the case.... Did the boy really have cancer? Did Sniddon know and hide this from the jury...

And then there is a Lie Detector test. IMHO, I would have given the boy one just to check facts. If there was one, did the boy FAIL it?


Mesereau knows a lot more about this case than the public. And the Grand Jury transcripts are out there. If for example, Sneddon did not tell the GJ the boy "failed" a lie detector test and he knew about it then he could not use the GJ as cover....

4. I agree!!!

5. Go for it

I mean really--have you EVER heard of any other case where the defendent was forced to have their genitals photographed? Anyone? I'd be afraid of them ending up in the Enquirer as well....
And they'd have a fair case for malicious prosecution. Sneddon has been obsessed with Jackson for years.
