Jackson's Attorney Vows to Fight Charges Dec 19, 9:42 AM EST Child molestation charges against Michael Jackson are being driven by "money and revenge," said defense attorney Mark Geragos, who vowed to derail the alleged victim's credibility and fight what he called a prosecutor's vendetta And we will prove that," Geragos said at a news conference Thursday Sneddon agreed to delay Jackson's arraignment a week to Jan "This is going to stick a fork in people who want to do this to Michael Jackson," he said Los Angeles County child welfare officers began investigating Jackson's relationship with the child on Feb Jackson and his accuser were shown holding hands during that show and saying they slept in the same room but not in the same bed 6 airing of a documentary in which he told of letting children sleep in his bedroom and sometimes in his bed when they visited his Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County " on Jackson's "HIStory" album Later, he told CNN's "Larry King Live" that winning the case will send a message to anyone who is considering trying to extort money from the entertainer The next day, Manning's secretary said the boy's mother had asked the attorney to stop speaking to the media They have a lot of problems down there and that office has a lot of problems Anyone who lives there knows that," Sneddon said C "'He was really good to us' â€â€? that's what she said at the time," Manning said in the Nov Sneddon says he has a credible witness and a strong case, but appears to have several hurdles to overcome to win a conviction Jackson's record sales overall have slumped in recent years, and he has gained more attention for his bizarre behavior â€â€? dangling his infant son from a hotel balcony, radically altering his face through plastic surgery, sharing his bedroom with children â€â€? than for his music " "Michael Jackson is a talented artist," Sneddon said in his news release Five of the counts state that Jackson molested the boy, a 14-year-old cancer victim he had befriended, sometime between the approximate dates of Feb Manning, divorce attorney for the accuser's mother, told The Associated Press last month that he remembered the mother speaking well of Jackson in April or May, after the abuse is alleged to have occurred He also was charged with two counts of plying the boy with "an intoxicating agent" to make it easier to carry out the assaults The couple are now divorced "LA is a big place 7 and March 10 27, found there was no basis for molestation allegations after the boy, his mother and his siblings denied them Unlike the 1993 case, Sneddon says, this time he has a cooperative witness who isn't interested in a piece of Jackson's fortune Sneddon said Thursday the boy may not have wanted to talk about the molestation at first and that Los Angeles County officials may have been too busy to investigate fully "That song was not one of his finer efforts The boy's family also filed a lawsuit claiming the boy, his brother and mother were beaten by mall security guards in 1998 after the boy left a Southern California J S 14, prompted by a complaint to a county hot line from a school administrator who saw the show For starters, he must persuade a jury to accept the timeline of the alleged crimes Among them was whether the child's mother is credible 24 interview 20 and March 10 16 Authorities raided Jackson's Neverland Ranch last month and arrested him days later on suspicion of child molestation The self-styled "King of Pop" faces seven counts of molesting a child under the age of 14 Details of the interview were included in a memo leaked to the media this month Sneddon gave reporters a news release Thursday giving his answers to the questions he says he is most commonly asked about the Jackson case "Anybody else who knows anything about the history of these accusers, anybody who knows anything about the history of the investigators and the axes they have to grind know that these charges are not only categorically untrue, but they're driven, driven by two things: money and revenge A source speaking for the family on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press the substance was wine The molestation charges each carry between three and eight years in prison For District Attorney Thomas Sneddon, whose similar 1993 case against the pop singer evaporated when the accuser reportedly accepted millions in settlement money, the charges filed Thursday represent a second chance to convict the fading pop star before the prosecutor begins his planned retirement " Jackson's arrest came just after he released a greatest-hits album, which has had disappointing sales " Sneddon also denied holding a grudge against the entertainer, who took a thinly disguised swipe at the prosecutor in a song called "D He said they both praised Jackson's generosity and described him as a father figure to the boy, who was introduced to the singer through the owner of a West Hollywood comedy club Penney store carrying clothes that had not been paid for Geragos said he conducted videotaped and audiotaped interviews with the mother and child himself last February The family received a $137,500 settlement That means Jackson, 45, would have begun molesting the boy amid the swift and fervent criticism he received after the Feb "Yes, she is credible," he said, adding the family has "said repeatedly that they are not interested in money Michael E Russell Halpern, an attorney for the boy's father, has said the boy's mother had a "Svengali-like ability" to make her children lie in testimony The other two counts, and the charges of giving the boy an intoxicant, state that those crimes allegedly occurred between the approximate dates of Feb The lawsuit also alleged the mother was sexually assaulted The investigation, which ended Feb Geragos denounced the allegations as driven by money and vengeance, and said Jackson, who is free on $3 million bail, looks forward to resolving the matter in court The father pleaded no contest to child cruelty in 2002 and spousal abuse in 2001 The song contains the lyrics, "Dom Sheldon is a cold man So why were hundreds of extra people lined up to see Franz Ferdinand outside a small club in Yorkshire, England? Alex Kapranos, lead singer of the group that's generating megawatt buzz, didn't know how word got out, but he didn't want to let down his fans " The group's self-titled CD has sold more than 174,000 copies Stateside since its March 9 release, and it is currently number 37 on Billboard's Top 200 chart Kapranos doesn't seem too worried about all the attention Guitarist and mutual friend Paul Thomson, now 27, joined soon after " The guys were living a sort of roustabout lifestyle before signing with England's Domino records in June of 2003 I think they were scared, as if they had stumbled upon some sort of fight club "I would go to see shows and everyone would be standing around with their hands on their chins, being very academic about it," Kapranos said "I don't even know why we had the fake blood," Kapranos says with a laugh "But the cops were calling in for backup Kapranos suggested to Hardy that he learn how to play the bass So he and guitarist Nick McCarthy took their instruments out on the street and gave a bare-bones Franz Ferdinand performance Noise complaints from other tenants drew the police one night to break up a party "I think we get compared to The Strokes a lot, but not in terms of sound As long as they get to tour and perform, that's enough for him I wanted to tell them there was no need for that since they had a room full of the softest people in Glasgow It was a little puzzling at first Kapranos managed to diffuse the situation when he asked if McCarthy happened to play drums Unfortunately, the raid went down when 400 people were there and Franz Ferdinand was performing covered in fake blood "It was a great time and the show inside was even better," Kapranos, 29, said in a phone interview, his velvety Scottish accent coming rapid-fire "But we like to perform and if you don't like to perform, you might as well stay in your bloody bedroom After cleaning up the dust and chasing out the pigeons it became a sort of makeshift music venue as well as an illegal bar "When they're on stage they have this incredible chemistry between them "People threw underwear on the stage Entertainment Weekly called them "danceable and ferociously melodic We didn't have choreographers or stylists or anything like that "The first time I saw them I was dumbfounded by how good they were," said Spin magazine columnist Sarah Lewitinn, adding that their upbeat mix of punk and rock with a hint of disco is a welcome change from mellow Radiohead clones " Franz Ferdinand, named after the heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire whose assassination started World War I, have only released one album with a mere 11 tracks That's a lot of hype and a lot of money surrounding a new band whose members were everything from chefs to art models before putting out the record At first Hardy balked since he had never played an instrument before Now that they're touring, the band says they've mellowed out a bit, spending most of their days rehearsing or exploring whatever town they've landed in "We love that people are into our music and want to talk about it The single "Take Me Out" hit number three on Britain's pop chart I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty," he said Word spread to the States, which led to a $1 million deal with Epic records Rock Critics Buzzing About Franz Ferdinand Jun 24, 10:54 AM EST The impromptu show was supposed to be a secret "We want our music to do what music was intended to do: make you move A Time magazine critic said the record was so good he nearly cried with joy " Kapranos fully embraces the idea of music and motion " " The band relocated to an abandoned jail, and the runaway European success of their first album soon followed By the end of the night he was thumping along to Kapranos' guitar " Kapranos is not afraid to be called "pop," and he welcomes comparisons to other bands Later on, drummer Nick McCarthy, now 28, and Kapranos met due to a scuffle over a bottle of vodka at party Kapranos and bassist Bob Hardy, now 23, were friends through an art school in Glasgow I think our similarities lie in the fact that we are just ordinary people who got together and made music on our own terms, outside of the music industry standard The group moved onto a floor in an old warehouse in Glasgow But they sell out all their shows and reviewers have lavished praise on the newbie foursome from Glasgow |
