Is Jackson's Defense Team Litigating in Neverland?
What is Michael Jackson’s legal team thinking? Do his legal pundits think they will win a jury acquittal without employing experts? If so, according to noted author and forensic trial consultant Dean Tong, they’re living in Neverland.
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) February 24, 2005 -- What is Michael Jackson’s legal team
thinking? Do his legal pundits think they will win a jury acquittal without
employing experts? If so, according to noted author and forensic trial
consultant Dean Tong, they’re living in Neverland.
Tong, author of the
critically acclaimed book "Elusive Innocence: Survival Guide for the Falsely
Accused" and a forensic consultant who has been hired by parents and attorneys
in contested abuse and custody cases from 41 states, believes that Jackson’s
legal strategy of attempting to paint his accusers as liars is
troublesome.
“The mindset of the jurors will be I’ve heard these
accusations against him before, where there’s smoke there’s fire, multiple kids
don’t lie and if we’re going to err we’ll do so on the side of the children, not
Elizabeth Taylor or Quincy Jones,” Tong exclaims. Tong claims that ABC news has
already reported Judge Melville will allow expert testimony for the prosecution
probably regarding delayed memory recall trauma of the child accusers. And the
court has not yet ruled on whether past sexual child abuse accusations and
Jackson’s propensity to be a hebephile will be admissible.
“I don’t play
the let’s wait and see what happens game in these cases,” Tong barks.
Furthermore Tong believes Jackson's attorneys should consider taking a more
proactive stance and approach for their client. Tong thinks the jury will want
to see an accused star, who has admitted welcoming boys into his bed, test out
to be a "normal" man. “Jackson, if he is truly innocent of child molestation,
should consider submitting to a series of sexual deviancy tests like a
Plethysmograph and Abel Screen (www.abelscreen.com) to show he's not capable of being the
monster the prosecution says he is,” Tong states.
