In case you haven't had your fill of information regarding the latest Wacko Jacko news, Michael Jackson has set up a press release website to archive all his statements regarding the case. In the Statement After Processing in Santa Barbara, Michael opines, “Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. The truth will win this marathon in court.” Jackson deserves a fair trial like everyone else, but the media circus is going to make it very difficult to find jurors who haven't already decided his guilt.

74 Posted by: Chris Capoccia at November 26, 2003 12:02 PM from 65.209.187.123Michael Jackson is not going to be abused. Michael Jackson is not going to be slammed—he is not going to be a piñata for every person who has financial motives. This is not the lottery—this is this man’s life. This is his family’s life. These are scurrilous accusations. If anybody doesn’t think that the true motivation of these charges and allegations is anything but money, then they are living in their own Neverland.
Police tip line fails to yield further abuse complaints. After two weeks, ther have been only about 70 calls. Just a few were at all usefull to the police, and none include any additional allegations. Doubts continue over the veracity of the original complaints. Jackson is still awaiting formal charges as Thomas W. Sneddon Jr., the Santa Barbara County district attorney, has delayed filing them twice already.
