"LIES RUN SPRINTS, BUT THE TRUTH RUNS MARATHONS. THE TRUTH WILL WIN THIS MARATHON IN COURT."

In March, 2003, Michael was accused of repeatedly molesting Gavin Arvizo. He was one of the hundreds of kids who stayed at Neverland. He was the boy featured in the documentary "Living With Michael" and he also credited Michael for helping him through his cancer.
This is just a brief overview of the accusations and trial. I'll leave links below and encourage all of you to do further reading xx

Gavin Arvizo initially told authorities that the alleged molestation occurred before he and his family made videotaped statements in Jackson's defense. This would also mean that the alleged abuse occurred before the boy defended Jackson to social workers in February. Gavin Arvizo now contends that the molestation took place after he repeatedly denied any wrongdoing on Jackson's part. While it is understandable that the boy cannot remember the exact dates on which he was allegedly molested, his original assertion that the abuse took place before the videotape was made cannot be attributed to confusion on the boy's part because he also told investigators that the videotape was made to cover-up the alleged molestation (see testimony of Sgt. Steve Robel).

Based on what District Attorney Tom Sneddon said in his opening statement, it's possible that Michael Jackson was not even with the Arvizos at Neverland throughout the month of February. From pages 115-116 of Sneddon's opening statement:

"I believe that the records from the ranch logs and the testimony from individuals involved here will show that from basically March the 2nd to March the 5th, that the defendant and the Arvizos were on the ranch together. That again, from March 9th until March 12th, when the Arvizos left for the last time, that the Jackson -- Michael Jackson, the defendant in this case, was present."

It suffices to say that if investigators did discover that Mr. Jackson was not with the Arvizos throughout the month of February (as Sneddon implied in his opening statement), they must have realized that Gavin Arvizo was lying when he claimed to have been molested sometime between February 7th and February 20th. Hence, the changing of the timeline from February 7th - March 10th (as stated in the original charges) to February 20th - March 12th (as stated in the current set of charges)

According to an investigator, the boy originally claimed that he was molested between five and seven times. Gavin Arvizo only testified to two incidences of alleged molestation.

Gavin Arvizo's younger brother Star, who supposedly walked in on Jackson molesting his brother, said under cross-examination that there are seven locks on Jackson's bedroom door (see testimony of Star Arvizo, page 12) and an alarm that goes off if anybody approaches. Yet somehow, Star Arvizo managed to walk into Jackson's room unnoticed on two seperate occasions.

In his grand jury testimony and in past police interviews, Star Arvizo claimed to have witnessed Jackson rubbing his penis against Gavin Arvizo's behind while the boy slept. While testifying at the trial, Star Arvizo denied ever having made such a statement. (See testimony of Star Arvizo, page 34)

When Jackson's defense attorney pointed out that Star Arvizo's description of the second incident of alleged molestation differed from an earlier description that he had given of the same incident, Mr. Arvizo suddenly claimed to have actually witnessed three incidences of alleged abuse. (See testimony of Star Arvizo, page 34 and recap from E! Online)

Star Arvizo alleged that Jackson once appeared naked in front of him and his brother. During his testimony, Gavin Arvizo was asked whether or not he was aware of the fact that Jackson has a skin disorder called Vitiligo that eats away at his pigment. Mr. Arvizo acknowledged that he was aware of Jackson's skin disease. Jackson's attorney then asked him whether or not he was aware of the fact that Jackson has brown patches on his body, to which Mr. Arvizo replied, "I didn't know about patches. I thought he was just all white." (See testimony of Gavin Arvizo, pg. 39) There are various pictures of Mr. Jackson on the Internet where one can clearly see that his body is not white all over, as Gavin Arvizo claimed.

In spring 2003, after the alleged abuse took place, Gavin Arvizo told his principal that Jackson had not sexually abused him. Mr. Arvizo claims that he said this because he didn't want the kids at school to make fun of him. ( http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/LegalCenter/story?id=578291&page=1 )

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

Gavin and Star Arvido testified that Michael had shown them pornography. Their evidence included a pornographic magazine with their fingerprints on it.

Only, it wasn't tested for fingerprints until after the children had handled it in court.

"I believe Tom Sneddon should be serving time in prison. You cannot falsify evidence and then just say "oh, we lost the case." He had that boy put his hands on the magazine in front of the Grand Jury. And the reason we know that is because the alert Tom Mesereau, the defense attorney, got the jury transcript and one of the grand juror's said, "shouldn't that young boy be wearing gloves?" Then, after the Grand Jury, they sent it out for finger prints analysis. So when did the boy get his finger print on the magazine, when the boy testified that he hadn't even been at Neverland for months when the magazine was published? Yet he claimed that was the magazine Michael Jackson gave him in bed. And Tom Sneddon directed all that testimony."

Also, it was found that said magazine wasn't even published until five months after the Arvizo's had left Neverland Ranch.

Star Arvizo testified that he and his brother had surfed porn websites. When confronted with a transcript of this testimony, Star Arvizo replied "that's just a paragraph that somebody wrote."

Defence and prosecution denied the story circulating that child pornography was found anywhere. If he had been found to have child pornography, he would have been charged and he would have had to register as a sex offender. As you can see, the accusations are ridiculous.

He did have pornography. Most of it was heterosexual, with the exception of some lesbian pornography that the prosecution tried to refer to as "gay".

THE HIGH PRICE OF CHILD MOLESTATION

The contract, written as a letter, says it's an agreement between the tabloid and the Newts for their exclusive story regarding "your relationship with and knowledge of Michael Jackson, and his sexuality, your knowledge of Michael Jackson's sexual contact and attempts at sexual contact with Robert Newt and others."

Mitteager expected them to sign, even though it was completely untrue and there was, in fact, no story.

He knew you were lying, I reminded Bobby Newt.

"Exactly! And he didn't care! He was like, 'Just say it and we'll give you the money.' And I was like, 'He never touched me!" Newt said. "He was really fishing and really digging. Think about it — most people you say it to, 'We'll give you this money,' even [if it's not true]. And they'd take it."

For people who say that Michael was acquitted because of his celebrity and money:
"70 sheriffs raided his home in the November of 2003, nine fingerprint experts. I had never seen that in any death penalty case I had handled. They had every type of expert. Accident reconstruction, computer graphics, DNA, all types of forensic experts, you name it."

"I would have to guess it was the most expensive prosecution in history."
