Yes and my side. I’d like to say hello to the people of Santa Maria, my friends and neighbours. (Q: Are you feeling a little bit better Michael?) Still recovering, a lot of pain, yes.“ 4.

Prosecutors are presenting testimony to support their theory Jackson showed the boys sexually explicit magazines at his Neverland ranch to “groom“ them for molestation. Sheriff’s technician Lisa Hemman says the brother’s print was initially ruled inconclusive in September 2004, but was ruled conclusive four months later after more study. Asked why the prints were first analyzed nearly a year after the magazines were seized, Hemman said processing for fingerprints can destroy DNA, so DNA testing is done first. Neither the accuser’s DNA nor that of his brother was found on any of the magazines. Jackson is accused in the current case of molesting a 13-year-old former cancer patient, plying him with wine, and holding his family captive so they could help him rebut the documentary. Jackson has said repeatedly that he would never harm a child and that he reached civil settlements in the past only to avoid potential harm to his career. The star, who sat unmoving through Thursday’s testimony, said as he left the courthouse: “Still very much in pain,“ referring to his back and his side. He then turned toward cameras and said, “I’d like to say hello to the people of Santa Maria, my friends and neighbours.“ Find out more about AP Archive: Twitter: Facebook: ​​ Instagram: You can license this story through AP Archive:
