The timeline of Michael Jackson’s death, as reported in near real-time

jacksonPop star Michael Jackson is dead. We know that because the media is reporting developments in the case by the minute. At 3:24 pm Pacific time today, the LA Times reported that Jackson was dead. The New York Times already has a minute-by-minute account of what happened, starting with a 12:21 pm PST call to the parademics. The NYT didn’t mention that TMZ was the first to report the hospitalization; then again, TMZ’s web site was down because of the traffic.

It will be interesting to see who gets the “by the second” scoop credit on being first with the story: the old media, or new media sources such as Twitter. On Twitter’s search function, Michael Jackson and “cardiac arrest” are among the top searches, as is Farrah Fawcett, who also died of cancer today.

It’s a sad day in celebrity news, but it’s also a kind of watershed that illustrates how much the media world has changed. If you recall the day that John F. Kennedy was shot, the AP and UPI photographer had to fight for the car phone as it happened. It took time for the news to filter out. Today, just about anybody who saw the celebrity being rushed to the hospital could have had the scoop. Just think of all of the lost productivity today.

jackson-2Of course, the old media does have some advantages here. The current outage on Twitter must have something to do with the traffic related to Jackson’s death. TweetVolume, which measures the frequency of words appearing on Twitter, says 66,000 Tweets mention the words “Michael Jackson.” But that number is no doubt low because of Twitter’s outage.  On Google Trends, Michael Jackson is already the subject of the No. 3 and No. 6-ranked searches of the moment. Cnet reported that news of Jackson’s death has roiled Michael Jackson’s page on Wikipedia, where competing editors are trying to get the first words in about the singer’s death.

I would suspect the news is going to pass around the world very quickly. But be careful with the emails you open. Virus writers are known to circulate malware with headlines related to the celebrity news of the moment. They react just as quickly to the news as the media.

  • I heard that his nose is still alive and was out shopping on Rodeo
  • Amr
    thats mean
  • The nose has declined interviews, declaring that his situation is overblown.
  • Batman_FTW
    Yah I heard that too....
  • However the nose was detained by management at Gap Kids, trying to disguise itself as a doorstop in the fitting rooms.
  • kevin0987
    hahaha prolly is
  • Disqus2
    If I knew where you were I'd shove that bunny up your a$$
  • Now Michael, don't talk that way to the boy scout

  • Alexis
    thats funny... lmao
  • Tom Au
    Hahahaha... his gloved hand is still at large molesting...
  • cindy
    I dont see why people are making such a big deal of his death when he did so many wrong things with little boys at his place in L.A... I say we should have a big party the fagget is dead its about time. thank you god i knew you were there.
  • calb86
    Okay cindy, do you actually know MJ? Have you seen him in real life? Did you have sex with him? I guess not. Before stating such things, do your own research and you'll see that the investigation was dropped because there weren't any clues of his misbehavior. Oh and by the way, please don't involve godly or ungodly things in EVERY fucking subject. Thanks. (am agnostic btw)
  • Alexis
    im sure u dont know MJ!!!! im sure u havent seen him in real life!!! im sure that u didnt have sex with him!!! and y would she wanna have sex with himm anyways!!!!! i mean look at him!!!! and like people below are saying he payed those poor little boys parents to drop the investigation!! y else would it be droped!!!! caz im sure those poor little boys wouldnt make shit up like that!!!!!
  • dianajones
    no but their parents would jackass to get his money because they knew if they tarnished his image enough with their bullshit lies that he would have to do something. and btw they boy actually came put and said that his father forced him to make the allegations {so eat that loser}. And are you dum or something cause MJ was really hot in his earlier years especially, and hav you not seen the pelvic thrust and amazing dancing talent im more than sure he was great in bed...jus sayn:) but yeah your pretty ignorant research your information before you just go shouting it about especially when it could ruin the legacy of someone as kind, influential and phenomenal as Michael Joseph Jackson hun.
  • Tom Au
    Cindy is not Michael's type that's why he didn't have sex with her...
  • amanda0843701
    Wow that is probably the meanest thing i have ever read!! I am sorry are you just miss perfect and have never done anything wrong??? He was an amazing artist and performer. and the music world just lost something amazing
  • Alexis
    she didnt fuckin say that she was perfect so keep ur fuckin mouths shut!!!!! and im sure he did that stuff but still... other stars die and nobody gives a shit.... so who cares bout him.... haha not me or cindy... different people have different oppions...
  • dianajones
    u cant even spell oppinion!!!!!!! (therefore your not entitled to have one)
  • VickieG
    LOL how can u accuse people of not being able to spell when you obviously can't either!!!! its Opinion ;) guess that means you're not allowed one either :p
  • vb1113
    This is why people never have a chance, cause asses like you only go by what the media says.
  • Alexz10
    You just need to shut up he didn't do anything wrong and he didn't deserve to die.That stupid kid just accused him of something that he did not do .
  • vb1113
    A man, a human being is dead you ass....
  • Groznifuz
    @vb1114: A man, a human being is dead you ass....

    So? We can always make more.
  • vb1113
    YEAH THEY'LL SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT YOU
  • Alexis
    there you go...... hahaha....
  • kevin0987
    i agree
  • I just wanted to point out you had a typo in your article.

    We’re leaving in a real-time world. Should be: We're LIVING in a real-time world.

    Well written piece though.
  • Alexis
    THANK GOD HE IS DEAD!!!! he did soo many bad things i mean come on now!!! he should have been dead when he did all those bad things to those poor little boys... they didnt know what was happening when he was doing that stuff to them.... and im sure they didnt want him to do that stuff anyways i mean look at him..... once again thank u god......
  • wiuji
    fuck you bitch.....
    you guys are all ass hole the man died and to hear all the bad things you are saying about him. Hope they say the same thing when you're dead. maybe tonight or 2morrow. you ass hole's. i'm sure if he did those things to little boys he would be in jail right now. let's see what will happen when yall die
  • finaljustice
    Sorry for his death, and I hope his family and friends can find some semblance of peace in the media circus that is sure to follow. HOWEVER, If you did not do anything bad with little boys, why would you settle with them for MILLIONS.
    We can all mourn the loss of his talent, and the performer, but the man was flawed. Before you defend or condemn, for that matter, take a moment to think about the great music.

    THEN do some research and come back here with intelligent remarks.

    and I quote "he paid between 15 and 20 million dollars. After receiving the settlement, the boy refused to testify in any criminal matters. Therefore, the prosecution was not able to pursue a criminal case. "

    I would not pay a red cent to someone that accused me wrongly. I dont think Michael or his attorneys would have either.
  • Alexis
    thank you.... thats all we r trying to say......
  • Chris
    I agree with you 100 percent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Name
    ancdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz haha
  • ilikeeggs
    what the heck is wrong with you????
    you didn't put the b in
  • dianajones
    Because in order to keep the situation from progressing, which would cause even more destruction, you have to do something. Letting in go on would have only caused more unecessary pain, agony and stress upon Michael on top of the mountains he already had; and if your son was sexually abused i'm sure you woud want justice and not money, but they didnt that's why they filed it as a civil case and not a legal one because they wanted money without any serious litigation. You all should take time to research and rationalize your information before posting it because a lot of these statements (such as yours) are petty results of pure ignorance and lack of education.
  • calb86
    Fuck your god, aight?
  • lovepeacelaugh
    God still loves u.
  • vb1113
    Everyone can't be a saint like you. I guess your closet is clean. Once again the slimy media convinced another ass.
  • vb1113
    A man is dead. Michael Jackson was a human being and his job was to entertain me. His personal life, no matter how untrue it is is none of my fuckin business.
  • Disqus2
    Alexis & Cindy,

    For your sake I hope GOD has mercy on your soul....
  • Alexis
    well he already has mercy on the faggets soul!!!!
  • vb1113
    ALEXIS, HOPE NO ONE IN YOUR FAMILY IS GAY. HOW MANY KKK MEETINGS DO YOU GO TO?
  • Alexis
    ummmm nope nobody in my family is gay!!!
  • vb1113
    THEY ARE PROBABLY AFRAID TO COME OUT. OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE RAISED TO JUDGE...
  • Alexis
    oh yeh nice it looks like u where raised to judge 2.... so suck it!!
  • vb1113
    NOT FUN WHEN SOMEONE JUDGES IS IT?? YOU COULD SAY WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU AND MICHEAL WERE FRIENDS.
  • Alexis
    well u have room to talk when u do the same damn thing.... so shut the fuck up
  • vb1113
    JUST TRYING TO GET YOU TO OPEN YOU MIND AND HEART A LITTLE....
  • Alexis
    well ummmm................... its not working i dont care what people are trying to say... he did bad things to those little boys and he shouldnt have lived to be this long... do u really think those little boys would lie?? i mean really do u??? i dont and that shit doesnt go away it stays with you for the rest of your life....and it makes you wanna kill yourself if that shit happend to you.... and it makes you feel like u you did something wrong to deserve what happend!!! just bc hes a "star" doesnt mean he should have go off of the hook... me or u would have got in trouble if a little kid said that.... so y shouldnt he have got in trouble??
  • vb1113
    Like I said, didn't know you knew him personally...
  • Alexis
    ok whatever thats just my opion.....
  • vb1113
    well have a good evening, and open your mind a little especially if you don't already have children..
  • alexis

  • mking1
    I hope somebody come fuck your kids in the ass. Did I spell that right
  • alexis
    ummm 4 one i dont have kids yet!!
  • dianajones
    Now there's a reason to thank God
  • dianajones
    Umm you didnt answer the KKK question.....(Im guessing about eight weekly, twice on Sunday,...judging solely upon your ignorance that is)
  • jbug
    Alexis...Your sorry...You thank God he's dead, but the sad part is you pass judgement on him. I guess you are trying to play the role of GOD. You have no understanding of compassion or conviction!! I would love to be there for your judgement day!!!
  • alexis
    well good for you i dont care what people say about me when im dead..... because im dead and thats it....
  • mking1
    First of all, you don't know what you are talking about. Was you there? Mike is an innocent man. He did so much for the people worldwide. You must wanted him to touch you. Are you jealous?
  • dianajones
    Your an absolutely horrible and digustingly pitaful excuse for a human being to say such a thing makes you adequate of nothing more than a common vermit. Therefore the audacity that you posses which allows you to think you are capable of judging any human being is appauling. You do not deserve to speak the name of a person as kind and caring as Micahel Jackson (which he showed constantly through his abundant philanthropy and humanitarism throughout time). And you most certainly do not deserve to speak the name of the most high diety we christians know as God, especially in a way so vile and despicable. You are the enigma of the incredulous idiocracy which plagues our country known as ignorance and i hope you are well aware of that. Or do you even comprehend my word? (That is without a dicitonary...yea i doubt it)
  • Name
    Thankyou, I know he was an intellectual, and having a prosthetic ear doesn't make me happy about the jokes about his nose

  • alexis

  • mking1
    I'm sorry about that. My kids are saying those mean words. They don't mean it. Everybody has the right to their opinion. I strongly do apologize for the negative remarks my kids was saying to you and they will be grounded. Have a great day.
  • Name
    Wow!! I can't believe that he died!! I loved his music. Two of my best songs are "thriller" and "beat it". Poor guy!!!
  • godsservant
    you are all wrong..no one is perfect. so you shouldnt say it is good that he is dead..what about his family reading all this. everyone has the right to be forgiven by God.
  • VickieG
    Pervert Paedophiles have NO RIGHTS!!! And certainly do not deserve FORGIVENESS!!!

    If he wasnt guilty he would never of paid people off! Simple as that!! Would you ever pay someone to shut them up if you hadnt done what you'd been accused of?? NO I didn't think so!! ;)
  • onceafan
    Didn't know that he changed to Muslim....what's next jeeezzzz....well he is going to be disappointed with the hundreds of virgins when all he liked was little boys...somehow I have a feeling he is not dancing in heaven though....probably in purgatory...When he got to the gates the next thing he heard was "And you thought I wasn't watching...no hyperbolic chamber is going to save you from where you are going...too bad too I gave you a lot of music talent."
  • Alexz10
    The King Of Pop will always be remembered.
  • jessica7908
    He did a lot of bad things yes but he is still a person.And GOD can forgive those who ask for it.So you have to give him the benifit of a dought that he had changed. Remember who are any of us to judge,thats gods job not ours.
  • AR
    May his soul rest in peace.
    Great singer and entertainer.
  • Love,Peace,Hate

    Michael J. Jackson was the most talented person on this planet and no one will ever come close to all of his accomplishments. To hear people talk crap on him is very disheartening!!!!!!!! I am just sorry I never got to go to one of his concerts!!!!! I am and will always be a #1 fan of MJJ!!!!! My condolences to all of his family and fans!!!! I am Here for you Michael !!!!

  • Mai
    May your soul rest in peace.
    You are remembered
  • athiestelite
    Thank goodness for that! The most famous pedo has finally died. He/It was proof that the justice system is critically flawed. No-one should ever get away with screwing kids and now that he/it is dead he/it cant face up to the consequences of his/its disgusting crimes. On the bright side any child that visits Neverland Ranch is now safe from being seduced by a Mutant Pedophile.
  • Alexis
    im glad im not the only one that cant tell the difference between he and it... hahaha... lmao!!
  • nunubaby
    Dude seriously? Man get a life. its people like you that the world is so bad! He did nothing wrong and as for yuou calling him a "It" he was human just like you you DOUCH BAG! how would you feel if someone called you and "It" seriously grow up quit acting so imature your JERk!!!!!!!
  • Alexis
    bullshit that he did nothing wrong..... those poor little kids wouldnt have said anything if nothing ever happened!!! well all u guys that LOVE MJ need to go fuck yourselfs
  • VickieG
    How can you seriously believe he did nothing wrong?? Any 'Human' that loses the ability, to distinguish the difference between what is wrong and what is right, deserves to be dehumanised!! I'm sure he made those poor lads feel a whole lot less human than he was!!
  • oharampowell
    I Love you MICHAEL
  • tony
    Idont believe hes dead sorry Its such a great lost to the world But he will live on thru his music
  • finaljustice
    Again folks, go do your research before you come on here and call names. He WAS one of the most talented musicians of all time, but it does not change his "eccentricities"

    "On September 3, 2004, "Dateline NBC" correspondent Josh Mankiewicz investigated allegations that more than one boy accused Michael Jackson of abuse in 1993, and how the case has been kept quiet until now. "Dateline NBC" learned what evidence authorities had against Michael Jackson, as well as details about the civil case against him that have remained sealed in the basement of the Los Angeles county courthouse for more than a decade. Jackson's accuser swore in a declaration filed in the civil suit against Jackson:

    "Michael Jackson masturbated me many times both with his hand and with his mouth. Michael Jackson told me that I should not tell anyone what happened. He said this was a secret."
  • Don't Stop till you Get Enough
  • Alexis
    there you go....he should have been killed right there and then...... those little boys didnt do ANYTHING to deserve that.... and shit like that doesnt go away... it stays with you for the rest of your life!!!!! im just glad that hes dead...... thats one less child molestor..... and its his own fault that he died!!! he shouldnt have been doin all those drugs!!! oh and if u want talent look at elvis he was the king of pop... so suck it!!!
  • Within 15 minutes this comment thread has suddenly attracted more Obama voters than 50%-off day at the 99-cent store.
  • shi09
    dude what the fuck is your malfunction leave the poor man alone, if your glad hes gone good for you you, but keep your sarcastic comments to yourself you piece of shit.
  • Shi09, you have a way with words. Michael was probably the most beautiful white woman the world has ever known.
  • Alexis
    lmao..... r u sure he was a chick??? i thought he was an IT!! hahaha.....

    thats bullshit yall. Michael Jackson was a legend. you cant just "make a nother one" like someone said that is stupid everybody is a one of a kind yall just need to get a life and leave the man alone
  • shi09
    michael jackson was bad ass, he was an awesome entertainer, and regardless of his criminal record he will missed by many people. more people will miss him more then judge him on his past transgressions. anyone who does is just a stupid peice of shit who has no soul and really bad taste in music!

    I cannot believe it, how people can be so cruel, Michael was an a #1 perfomer and #1 artist, someone was trying to freme him, but nothing was prooved .....how you people can be so blind????
    No wonder he had a cardiac arrest if he was surronded by so cruel people, I think our world destroy this wonderful artist.

  • shi09
    wow deined really? is that even a word? why don't you go back to school before you start talking trash.
  • athiestelite
    You people are all so very naive. Just because he became the so called "King of Pop" you somehow believe hes some kind of saint, even more so now that he is dead. He was a multi-millioneer, its obvious to anyone with a few working brain cells that he paid the families of those children to keep their mouths shut. He was a Pedophile, but what made that worse was the fact that he had so much influence on the more naive members of society, that he was practically above the law. A bitter-sweet justice has finally come in the form of heart-attack.
  • Alexis
    HELLS TO THE YEAH.... i agree with you 110%
  • athiestelite
    Just got this txt: Micheal Jackson is not going to be buried, hes going to be melted down and made into toys so little boys can play with him for a change.

    Micheal Jackson died of a massive heart attack when he realized the little boy he was about to molest was a little girl with short hair ;)
  • littleboy
    Oh how dare you talk about abou him that way, ill cut ur phucking nipples off so dont ever talk about him dat way
  • jbug
    Okay everyone..Just realize your wasting your time with Alexis...Obviously she/he/or IT doesn't have any remorse and seems to be psychologically disturbed!!! I am sure this person has very few friends and family that would want to be around it. I am sure IT has many issues itself that it would like to put someone else down. LOW SELF EESTEM IT...Get a life. We should always honor him as an artist....And the whole "poor little boy" statements...well let the Good Lord upstairs judge him on that...not you...your just a simple person that is OBVIOUSLY NOT christian...the way you talk and pass judgement tells us that!
  • athiestelite
    Are you kidding? you damn Christians pass judgement on everybody and have done all throughout history! It is you that have committed some of the biggest crimes the world has ever seen, so dont give us the "high and mighty Christian" crap. Anybody who missunderstands their own existence enough to believe in fairytails like "God" and "Jesus" and "Creationism" are the "Simple" ones.
  • lovepeacelaugh
    nah we haven't.Yu non believers have.Google it uhp.We don't judge we let God decide dhat for everyone.
  • cccccc
    He will remain an icon, not just for this country but also internationally, people just loved his music. No one is perfect as a human. What people loved was his singing and music. We will miss you Michael but your music will be there for the longest time.
  • Appearantly U have an interest in Michael Jackson if U are Googling his name and finding this site to post your comments.... He was a legend, and Icon.... He may have or may not have done perverted things to the little boys... It's not for us to judge... His Judgement is today, by GOD.... Has anyone who is writing the terrible comments, taken into consideration, his 3 children, who any time can GOOGLE their father's name and see the horrible things you are writing...... Those poor children have lost a father, and The World has lost a legend....
  • Hey motherfucker alexis. Did u c ur pussy all pasted by ur transexual husband?
  • Hey alexis did ur transexual bf/husband paste ur pussy? Look alaxis the IT is a nonbeliever. It doesnt have any reliegon thats y it is acting like a thing but nt lyk a human

    Wow thats mature.

    MICHAEL JACKSON WILL BE MISS ALL AROUND THE WORLD .... GOD BLESS THE FAMILY MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THEM .... PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN .....
  • jbug
    athiestelite,

    You are why the world is at constant turmoil. As far as the Christian thing goes, you can be the idiot saying all you like; however when your day comes you will see that you failed to believe in HIM when I am sure you'll be begging for forgiveness. Yes, Christians do make mistakes, but I have lived my life for "HIM" and I won't be brought down by your insignifcant words. I don't have to belittle anyone in order to feel better about my behavior. Unfortunately, you and your friend Alexis seem to be a little disturbed inside about a man that died. I am sure that both of you are very young and naive in that you haven't grown up and realized what humanity is all about. I am sure when you "actually" reach maturity you will look back upon this event and realize your inappropriate behavior will bring shame upon your existance.
  • alexis
    ummmmm i wont realize that my behavior is inappropiate because its not..... all you like to do is fuckin preach to people that dont belive what you do.... and im never goin to belive what you do... because its not alright for what michael did to those little boys!!! AND IT WILL NEVER BE OK!!! THAT SHIT STAYS WITH YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IT DOESNT GO AWAY!!!!
  • calb86
    Alexis, you sound like you were sodomized once, too bad for you ;)
  • jrotc215
    I don't know what race everyone is, but Micheal Jackson has helped African Americans in the entertainment world. Shit.......he's done more then Obama. HE HELPED OBAMA GET WHERE HE IS NOW. Instead of everyone talkin shit about him to get a quick laugh (that you wont get unless ur the devil laughing), lets all realize that his passing is a moment of joy....Hes now with our Lord now. God wanted him back so he could moonwalk for him now.
  • jbug
    Alexis~

    There is no reason to use profanity to get your point across. You've expressed your frustrations with Michael, so why can't you just let people celebrate his life? I really don't care if you hold that grudge against him, I'm not to judge; however I have traveled the world extensively and every culture knows who he is and are saddened by this mishap! His concerts sold out in a matter of minutes in the UK...I guess he's not that bad if a majority of people still love him and his music. The sad part is you stick to the same story about all the little boys, but he was never convicted of anything. Stop reading into tabloids...that's what's wrong with our society now. Just food for thought sweetie!!
  • saintofthelord
    Alexis, I agree with your sentiments concerning pedophiles and those who participate in acts of abusing children. In your writing I can sense great personal pain. My heart goes out to you Alexis. Even if Michael Jackson did molest those boys, you are fighting against the wrong enemy. Mr. Jackson would only be one amongst many who are enslaved to this vice. The true enemy you are to be fighting against Alexis, is "SIN, which is the breaking of GOD'S LAW and the penalty of breaking GOD'S LAW is DEATH. All mankind are guilty of breaking these laws. That's why GOD sent HIS SON to this earth to take upon HIMSELF our guilt and to die in our stead, that whosoever believes in the name of the LORD CHRIST JESUS shall not perish but have eternal life!

    Seriously? Do you even KNOW for sure without a doubt that he did that?
    He helped millions of people around the world, despite him being a king of pop he was an overall good human being. Yes he looks different from what you might classify as 'normal', but he has his insecurities like we all do. Who hasn't among celebrities gotten a nose job or w/e? Calling him an "it" or a "thing" is really disgusting of you. And you honestly think that if your child trully did get molested then you would just accept money and walk away? So your basically saying that those parents just accepted cash for their child's expolitation? Wow... what parenting!

    And if they didn't trust Michael in the first place, then why the hell would they have allowed their kids to sleep over anyways? I think people like you will never accept that someone in the world can generally be a good human being. I think its disgusting and trully feel sorry for you. I don't really care if you think otherwise, but someone who has helped countless of people, like those boys and then whose parents saw a quick chance to make some money are the real killers. It's true that if someone trully does want to help mankind there will always be people like you and those others who just want to bring out the worst in everyone. How many people have YOU helped? And don't pass judgment on anyone b/c you are NOT God. You don't know if he did it or not, and frankly when the mother of the child herself first said that Michael wasn't capable of doing it and then quickly retracted her statement and went to an attorney FIRST before doing anything else.. it really does show that she was after money. I know you are naive because you have NOT even followed the case closely. You just go by the words of the accusers but if you even listen to their statements you can tell they are lying.

    ANyways, I don't care if you talk trash , if you don't like Michael, no one cares. There's enough people in the world who know what he was trully like. And people like you who pass judgement without even knowing 5% of the truth will definately be up for a rude awakening.

    Jordan never accurately described the marks on Michael’s genitalia. In fact, he wasn’t even the one who drew it in the first place; Evan Chandler (his father) did. In January 1994, USA Today printed an article confirming that, “photos of Michael Jackson’s genitalia do not match descriptions given by the boy who accused the singer of sexual misconduct.” Some tabloid reports may indicate otherwise but keep in mind that the District Attorney brought his “evidence” in front of two grand juries and charges were not filed. If the photos matched the boy’s description, the case would have probably gone to trial.

    http://floacist.wordpress.com/2007/11/08/settle...

    If I a was an abused victim as a child, I wouldn’t want nor accept money. If a child and/or a parent settles for money they’re fucking heartless, lack of moral and have no decency. You do not accept money from a criminal who violated your son or daughter. A better question is why take money to forget you were molested? If I was a victim of rape or molestation, I and my family would want that perpetrator to be in prison – more likely for himself being abused, and see how he likes it. Let an offender free into the public?

    What a lot of people simply do not understand is that there was never, ever a single iota of information which connected Jackson to the 1993 allegations, and yet there was an absolute wealth of information which suggested he was innocent. What people also don’t realize is that when Jackson paid his settlement, he was settling a civil case not a criminal case; he was not being prosecuted, he was being sued. There is a clause in the settlement which states that Jackson in no way acknowledges any wrongdoing by signing the settlement. There is another clause which specifically states that a settlement in the civil case in no way affects the recipients’ right to testify in a criminal case. The reason no criminal case was brought in 1993 was that the allegations were ludicrous and they couldn’t find any information to back them up. Thomas Sneddon presented the case to two grand juries and both of them laughed him out of court. He wasn’t even allowed to bring charges because his case was so pathetic.

    The belief Jackson ‘bought his way out of jail’ has no weight yet everyone uses that as their blind justification of guilt. There was never a case against Jackson in 1993 and that was evident over a year prior to the settlement. With the criminal case in limbo because it was so moronic and the allegations hanging over his head until the media got some resolution, a settlement was the only way Jackson could make everything disappear. Diane Dimond known for her stupid antics to try to make anything ‘Michael Jackson’ even bigger than what it was, leaked the actual documents of the settlement. In the documents one find many ‘interesting’ things. For example, in the document Michael Jackson denies ever having any sexual contact with Jordan Chandler. And to make things even more interesting, the parents of Jordan Chandler, Evan and June Chandler agreed to that denial. Here is that part of the document:

    http://www.thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art3/0616...

    Also, in the document it actually says the Chandlers can only speak of the case in a court of law. For 10 years the media has been spreading the lie that the settlement somehow stopped the Chandlers from testifying against Jackson. Another myth destroyed by the factual document.

    http://www.thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art3/0616...

    Another myth that the settlement was for more than 30 million when in fact it was only 15,331,250, both Evan and June Chandler obtained 1.5 million while Larry Feldman obtained 3 million and 10% of the settlement which would bring his earnings to 5 million dollars.

    http://www.thesmokinggun.com/graphics/art3/0616...

    And how much Jordan Chandler got? The most he could’ve gotten was 8 million dollars. Who leaked this private document? The only party that had this particular document was Lisa Marie Presley’s attorney at the time. So who gave it to Diane Dimond? Hmmm.

    Entire document here:

    You also left out the part where Jordan and has told people [personal] that Michael Jackson is not a pedophile. You also left out the part where last year in July, Evan Chandler struck his son with a dumbbell and basically tried to murder him.

    http://lawlibrary.rutgers.edu/decisions/appella...

    What a great father. Not only that, he wrote a book about his son’s rape. “Michael Jackson Was My Lover-The Secret Diary of Jordie Chandler”. Even his brother chipped in. Raymond Chandler, author of book “All That Glitters: The Crime and the Cover Up” which deals with the alleged sexual abuse of his nephew Jordie by Michael Jackson. Team effort! How considerate. [edit] That book was written by Victor Guiteriezz, he also said that there was a videotape of Michael molesting one of Jermaine’s sons. Michael sued him about the book AND Hard Copy(they ran the story about the fake videotape) and Michael won the suit, but Victor left the country. It was one of the few times Michael actually fought back the allegations.

    You also forgot the part where Evan Chandler was caught on tape speaking about his extortion plans on the telephone. You can read the whole transcript here

    Thanks PGL...I guess we finally got rid of that awful person from this site!!! A+ :)
  • Paul Gadd
    Micheal you were an inspiration to myself and our like minded friends, you will be missed greatly
  • Dominic
    Ayo PGL thanks for doing all that work man.
    Great to have good solid info on the child molestation thing.
    Alexis kept coming back with that "child molestation" argument funny how she never realized that he was never found guilty of it. Ahahahaha.

    Anyways, Michael Jackson, you did a lot for this world. It's too bad that you had to leave so early at a young age... 50... but hey your legacy will stay with us always. My prayers go out to your family, especially your young children. Michael, thanks for the positive impact you've left on this world.
  • alexis
    he was never fuckin found guilty because he payed the familys millions of dollars to keep there mouths shut!!!
  • pgl
    So your saying that MJ paid a family to keep quiet about their child being molested and they just walked away saying well aww too bad so sad lil boy, let's just spend these millions and forget that you ever got traumatized? Then why did that boy's dad try to kill him? So now you going to say that MJ paid the dad to do that too LOL. Wow...

    Wot kind of stupid parents would accept cash for their child getting molested? Use your brain if you have one... no parent on this planet, if they should be called one, would ever in their dreams accept money for their child being molested. Are you like some little kid on this blog just posting crap? Do your research and then talk. You make no sense but just swear , but whatever I guess that's the only thing you know how to do.. (waiting for a cuss word LOL.. come on surprise me this time..)
  • ssosososososos
    i hate michel jacksom he was so hatefull demonick he had a bad repation with me and all those little kids and win he hung that baby over the building i dont row that way so he is not my fave person i far as i am conserned he is a perve is any of u mommys out ther agree with me u should he needs JESUS? but it is a little to late you suck micheal jackson your number one hater

  • calb86
    At least have some credibility by using some punctuation and the proper spelling for all those "scientific words" you used. Hatefull, repation, conserned, ther... OMFG, and i'm actually french.
  • pgl
    geez.. i dunno man maybe this site attracts illiterate ppl who just believe garbage the media throws at them without ever following the case closely with evidence..

    1. the family of the boy who accused MJ did it 3 years after the so -called incident happened.. WHY would you wait that long? The BOy was NOT 12 years old when he testified, he was almost 16 years old. His classmates, his teachers, his own psychiatrist labelled him as a troublemaker, gang member, etc. So what exactly is his crediability? Why did he wait 3 years to do it? Why did he go to the exact same lawyer that the other boy went to? WHY? Why would you go to a lawyer first and not to see a doctor? Why would you countlessly spend nights at MJ's place, even when he was not there if you were in fact molested? WHY? Answer these questions if you are so eager to point the finger. Why would any parent accept cash instead of going to court and putting a molester, pedophile behind bars? Would YOU accept money for your child being traumatized like that for life? I don't think so! They went to a lawyer, they settled it quietly , they got lucky. If they had gone to court, which I wished they had, they also would have gotten zilch just like Gavin Arvizo and his family. Jordan Chandler is living it up now in his studio apartment in NYC, both his parents fight over custody for him now. WHY? MONEY! That's what greed does to you. they ruined an innocent man's life.

    2. the very first boy who accused Michael Jackson, Jordan Chandler, did NOT ever describe anything about MJ, who did? His dad? weird.. because just a few months back his father tried to kill him over money.. wow.. now why would you do that? Not to mention the extoration tape which was found and was the father's voice about the actual plan to extort money from MJ. MJ's lawyers advised him to settle out of courts due to his health problems not b/c he was guilty. MJ himself had wanted to settle it in court.

    All of these families used him, they are disgusting. And if you don't believe, then do your research yourself before you pass judgment. Show me one factual piece of evidence that isn't your own biased or opinionated trash and I will believe you.
    When you swear and laugh like a loser it only shows you don't know jackshit about what your talking about. If your hating without any proof then your the biggest idiot of them all.

    And yah the mother even sent her kids to acting school, and she also did the same shit to the employees at JC penny and extorted thousands from them also for sexual abuse.. not to mention the families destructive track record. Not every mother is golden and not every child is innocent. They were liars and you need to open up your eyes. If you still want more proof I got some. And it's not my own opinion, it's actual documents from the state. You cannot make those up, not like the lies you have just posted.
  • calb86
    Kudos, Pgl. Just ignore those philistines. Anyways, thanks for doing that.
    Oh and by the way Alexis, please do open a dictionnary for once, that will at least do a favour to all forums/blogs/etc. (BTW, english isn't even my mothertongue jackass, je suis en fait français, grand fan de Michael Jackson.)

    Alexis you are a biggot!! If you hate Michael Jackson sooo much why are you on this blog?
    Where is your respect for yourself? your language is atrocious and you sound like you are unintelligent person so the accusations you are making could not be valid!
    Telling someone to go have sex with their father sounds like a personal issue you have within!
    You are an idiot and you need to get a life!
    I
  • marileefalcon
    Thank God Michael Jackson is resting in peace now and will never be bothered by ignorant people that love to judge others.

    When you talk like an ass you are really just showing the world how you disrespect yourself. You remind me of those two columbine kids who shot up their school because they hated EVERYONE!!
    Stop hating yourself maybe you will see the good in others! :) PEACE!
  • calb86
    Peace indeed.
