Michael Jackson & The Private Eyes


MJ Posted by Hello

Michael Jackson spent millions on his defence against child molestation charges.

He was reported to have paid more than $USD350,000 to private investigators to commission an exhaustive examination of the mother of Jackson’s accuser. The private eyes dug up embarrassing details about the mother’s past that jurors said damaged her credibility and harmed the prosecution’s case.

Defence attorneys today considers private investigators as crucial partner in strategising their cases. What that really means is about having good experts,good investigators and a good attorney. The best investigators turn up leads and witnesses so quickly that it could take the prosecution aback. Poorer defendants’ lack of access to detective work puts them in a ‘hole they often can’t get out’.

Anyone with unlimited resources can put the other party of the trial in trouble. This is what money can do. Who says money can’t buy you happiness? Even if it doesn’t, at least it can buy you out of trouble.
