Michael Jackson Documentary - The Life of an Icon Ft Katherine Jackson and Tito Jackson
it was Michaels idea to feature this kid in the documentary Michael has a deep
affection for helping children in need and this child happened to have severe
case of cancer Michael immediately wanted to do
something to help to give this child hope and give him a reason to live a lot
of people working for Michael Jackson didn't want Michael do this because they
felt that after what happened with Jordi Chandler people shouldn't be reminded of
any association that Michael had with any any kids
Michael had no consciousness of guilt at all I saw the original documentary that
mr. Bashir produced I didn't know Michael Jackson at the time but
something seemed very very manipulative very sinister about the way he
approached Michael Jackson and what was proof of that was the night a Michael
displayed in continuing to talk to this man who clearly in my opinion was bent
on destroying his reputation tonight 12 year-old Gavin reveals he spent nights
at Neverland sometimes in Jackson's bed saw on the
floor next thing you know children Protective Services became involved and
different lawyers began asking questions Tom Sneddon is back in the picture again
and they are basil family suddenly have decided that Michael had molested Gavin
Gavin came to Michael and said Michael we sleep in your room tonight and
Michael Michael looked at me and says I don't know you know I think you better
ask your mother oh we already asked our mother she says sure no problem like no
this is something odd this is not right and then as I was about to go tell Gavin
that cannot sleep in Michael's room Michael says ok if I have a solution for
this you have to sleep in the room with
two children slept on the bed and Michael and I slept on the floor
arrest warrant for mr. Jackson has been issued on multiple counts of child
molestation at this point in time mr. Jackson's been given an opportunity to
surrender himself to the custody of the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department
within a specified period of time they were claiming that Michael organized a
conspiracy to abduct children to falsely imprison a family and to commit criminal
extortion and the other counts had to do with allegations of child molestation
these were serious allegations the most ridiculous allegations anyone who knows
Michael is not Kenneth
mr. Jackson has been booked into the county jail he has since been released
he has posted the bail and he has been given an arraignment date bothered me
because I was wondering how he was feeling how he was dealing with it
Michael used to always tell me I can flip my own wrist in the her child and
here they are kind of cues me a thing that I love best and that's children
excuse me of the lesson the more I looked at the facts the more I converse
with him the more ridiculous these charges appeared he just did not seem
like the kind of person I could ever engage in this kind of behavior mr.
Sneddon was obsessed for taking down Michael Jackson my understanding is that
in the mid-90s mr. Sneddon personally traveled Australia and Canada and
perhaps other countries I'm not aware of to find witnesses against Michael
Jackson he also arranged to have a website at the Santa Barbara County
Sheriff's Department where they were looking for any witnesses or evidence
against Michael finally in 2004 he got his wish a criminal trial with Michael
Jackson as the defendant see this da with this wicked smile and grin like
he's going to become a national hero for catching Michael Jackson doing something
that he never did made me want to just grow up on the
television Jackson himself I believe it said that this was all done to try to
ruin his new CD that was coming out or whatever it is he's doing like sheriff
and I really are into that kind of music but there was a real sort of leaning in
the press corps that look this is happening again that he must be guilty
we really didn't know what what they had we just because it was all sealed and
nobody knew what it was I personally believe this Janet Arvizo
was provoked by someone Janet Arvizo is a sick woman she has a trach history of
shaking people now the more I looked at a history of welfare fraud the more I
looked at their hustlin celebrities to try and get money the more I put this
package together I have to say I was quite surprised that the prosecutors in
their hopes on these people we've been ready to do this for some period of time
and I want to clarify that so that you understand that prosecution was like a
train that left the station it was not going to slow down once they decided to
charge Michael Jackson it almost appeared as if they were going to do
whatever it took to make sure this thing got to trial under they got a conviction
70 sheriffs in Santa Barbara County rated Michael Jackson's home now I've
seen murder cases I've seen serial killers have investigations done in
their premises with five people with six people with 10 people never have I seen
this many sheriffs descend on anybody's home in any case it was all done because
of who he was and they knew this was going to be a worldwide event and
frankly it was the very despicable it's not honest there was a lynch mob
mentality and Maria that extended not only to the leaf and to the district
attorney but maybe to the media as well and I remember when we were standing in
line to get our press credentials one of the reporters a woman who's a very
popular reporter in America pulled herself out of the line and she said is
there anybody standing in his mind besides Jay randy taraborrelli who does
not believe in my Jackson is guilty and there was the
issue of race when he got in big trouble he reached out to black leaders to try
and defend him he reached out to Reverend Jesse Jackson to Reverend Al
Sharpton and others I wanted to avoid any racial division there was a phone
call one night it was Michael Jackson and his publicist she wanted to bring
black celebrities into the courtroom she felt this would be better for his legacy
and my comment about this request was that you know if he's convicted his
legacy is going to be dying in California state prison and I flew out
the request of Kathleen to go to the arraign what we all drove up together
you know we went to that course then together on
which we got in the comments stop that already this is serious stuff he went in
there he was strong as pie he's not gonna let anything get to him he jumping
on the bus really proud you know what showing his fans were going to get
through this we're going to fight everything's gonna be fine when we first
started Michael came in and he he looked really robust and and healthy he was
shot and focused and determined to prove his innocence
even after the first day you knew these people were only after money and this
was the biggest hope in the world they were trying to pull they put witnesses
on the stand to testify under oath the things that never happened the thing is
they were completely exaggerated and untrue they were willing to almost throw
anything at the jury hoping something would stick time for a diminutive mother
of four Janet Arvizo take center stage her evidence could end
the career of a pop legend well we had upset me cuz they were reporting
everything that was said about Michael but they wasn't reporting anything in
his defense it looked like a feeding frenzy to many of the media we're just
out to see the world's greatest known celebrity fall the destruction that's
really thought their ratings in the future would come from and for me it was
really a disgrace during the trial I am diamond was the worst person in the
world I don't understand how these people can run out and lie they don't
even get a chance I'm not the truth Tom Mesereau will get their show and clean
it up and show that this is not true this is really how wet but they wouldn't
report that that went on for months when we finally got to see what
was being alleged it just seemed so ridiculous and so far-fetched that I
remember one reporter from CNN came over to me after the after the day that the
mother testified Janet Arvizo and he said I feel so used
this is our visa claim that she feared Michael Jackson so much that she thought
he and his henchmen were going to put she and her family on a hot-air balloon
and let them sail away to their demise that was one of probably 500 crazy
things that came out of this trial that the near visa family were alleged
sitting in court this met all these people live people he'd been good to and
all of it he says he couldn't believe that they were telling all these lies on
him these people must have been paid off to do a lot of this stuff I want him
about this Pam I warned him about that mother that mother I ripped from a mile
away she had an agenda from day one there was
a so-called with model video that was playing the video that the original
family made after the allegations had surfaced in which they claimed that
Michael was you know had been a father figure to to this family and they were
really adamant about it on this video and this video existed and you would
have thought that just the fact that this video existed would have been
enough for the District Attorney to not want to prosecute this case because
eventually we would have to see this video and all of us would then have to
look at this and think what the heck is going on here which is exactly what
happened the focus instead was on the defense's first celebrity witness the
actor Macaulay Culkin the prosecution had suggested that in the early 1990s he
was one of a number of young boys who've been sexually abused by Jackson I have
to say Chris Tucker and Macaulay Culkin will always go down in my book as loyal
good friends they had managers and agents and lawyers who didn't want them
to get involved and they both told me that when Michael needs us we're going
to be there there were other witnesses people he knew at Neverland who came in
to tell the truth we had a lot of people to know
I stood by him because he was a decent good man with a warm heart loving heart
the family were extremely supportive of Michael Jackson throughout this trial
his mother never missed one day to try a lesson almost five months she never
missed a day I knew what Michael was going through my heart just lived for a
long time family was there and was this sort of sense that it was going to be
okay I remember they showed the Martin Fisher
documentary and Michael's music was playing throughout it and I remember
looking around the courtroom and seeing all these heads bobbing up and down to
Michael's music and I thought to myself a lot this is going to be some crazy
molestation trial because everybody here sort of rocking out - Billie Jean it
just seemed very surreal to me prosecution in my opinion didn't know
what to do but the fact that they found 10 years worth of magazines playboy and
house hustler at Neverland which would suggest that Michael Jackson was
heterosexual and interested in seeing pictures of beautiful women or naked
they weren't quite sure how to fit that into their fury that he was a pedophile
so they came up with the notion that a pedophile will take magazines like this
to somehow groom the alleged victim the district attorney showed so much
pornography that you just you know each as your head would was spinning by the
time this was over was the only day that Katherine excused yourself in the
courtroom for the afternoon I thought they're constantly flashing this
material at the jury which was a majority of females by the way I thought
just was stupid but that's what they did they couldn't find any pornography on
his computers they had the FBI test every computer at Neverland they
couldn't find any Kitty pornography so they just tried to fit everything into
their theory and it just became a circus you just knew there was really
something devious going on this guy Thomson was really out to get them had
to be totally tore truck imagine what was going on in his mind and it hit you
know and he's not strong in that way at all the stress and strain of the slide
month trial I took a toll on him you saw him losing
weight he was having trouble sleeping I would talk to him 3:00 4:00 or 5:00 in
the morning and he would be terrified particularly about what might happen to
his children he didn't need some some things to help him fall asleep at night
because there was no way he was speaking with all that stuff going on in his head
I don't know how anyone could see the thought you like how guilty could spend
the rest of your life in jail cell and all your accomplishment what's down the
drain I don't know how he coped most people would have taken a gun to their
head just frame of mind was very very fragile and I was concerned for it's
very worried about his children his mother what people would think the first
day of Gavin's testimony and Michael shows up when he's in pajamas and he
looked like he was in really bad shape and actually had their I've helped him
into the courtroom from that moment on everything started
to get really awful you started seeing Michael coming in every day looking like
that it was as if the testimony was just destroying him
disappear in court and watch a legal system hurl absurd and vindictive and
nasty mean-spirited allegations at him like this absolutely traumatized for me
and for other people who actually knew Michael this was a real human being
whose life was being destroyed and every day just seemed to get worse
while the shelves came to me and said you know you've got the best seat in the
house and also as a roll why this is because you're sitting right behind
Michael and when we find him guilty we're going to get him out of there so
fast in your headstone still people are already excited that Michael was guilty
and they were surely so sure that they had an exit plan to get him out of there
Michael came into the courtroom and he'd look like he was on serious drugs he
really truly looked like the dead man walking it was a tense moment you know
the entire world stopped to watch what was going to happen to the best known
celebrity a musical genius Michael Jackson was an awfully emotional day
just didn't know what to expect
we the jury in the above-entitled case find the defendant not guilty of
conspiracy as charged in count one of the indictment the verdict was read and
it was not guilty not guilty not guilty not guilty all the way down the line all
counts not guilty and I remember very specifically Michael seeming to not
understand and I remember Tom Sneddon looking at Michael for reaction and not
really getting one and I also remember Tom Mesereau his lawyer leaning in and
mouthing to Michael Jackson roughly man I can read his lips because I was so
close and Michael Steele did you get it you felt like it was a triumphant moment
but then when you look at him you realize he wasn't there for it there was
nothing you could do it was so devastated that it had
happened that you couldn't even find a place to be happy that it ended the way
it did because it was so devastating that it has occurred at all
is that because I really feel that trial is what really depressed my brother out
to the point where she just wasn't happy he never would come back to Neverland
but Michael not to go to Neverland pretty sad didn't want to have nothing
to do with that place cover again
you would always tell me so I don't trust anyone I don't know why they're
doing this to me they want me dead he said they're going
to kill me for what I got I'm pretty sure there was time okay you know I wish
I was someone else or other business entertainer there's a certain point that
you can get to with success whereas you have no life whatsoever your ability to
be personally to be a person that cannot be a part of the everyday life of this
world if it's really devastating on the mind you can't get it all for free
and that's what happened with Michael he just had to give up so much that he lost
his ability to just walk amongst everyday people this was the first
honest thing that I've been associated and the only honest and I've been
associated with you could not walk down the street with look in my life is
somewhat normal is not normal but it's a little normal but judging my life is his
one hour close he just couldn't be enough
michael jackson's became the king of pop it's kind of hard being a king you can
get out of sorts I think he kind of like isolated himself from everyone who would
say no everything he wants is yes okay Michael I mean is this it's hard to have
someone there to to give you an honest answer honest opinion Jose would always
tell him Michael watch your people Michael watch your
people he said I trust my people our people are good people but that's left
I brought the case people all in your face pat you on the back and stab you at
the same time these people saw money and they saw somebody who they could get to
it was hard for Michael to signal as a kid and evident because he generated so
much wealth so much profit he became the repeated target of unsavory characters
many of them mediocre who tried to get near him
promised him the loan and then profit themselves by being around them and I
think he receives some tremendously bad advice throughout his career when it
came to finances Michael was an easy touch and anybody could take advantage
of him just because he trusts everybody's word Michael would bring
random people into his life for business deals they would offer him the world and
Michael would believe Michael told me he only committed to ten shows at the o2
Dome his comeback concerts when he found out that he was community 50 shows and
there was no way of getting out of he shacked he felt like they tricked him
he's put up against the wall let down by people or mislead I should
say it was thrown on him by his manager and in his State of Mind who said yes to
anything I hope that he was doing those we show my calling and telling them and
I heard how they were going to do only every other day I told we could do it
that but that way he had the rest and I kept after them the wear and tear all
the managers all the promises they didn't live up to took extol probably a
more stronger person would be able to fight through a line that in a lot of
them had Frank Sinatra he was pursued the same way but he seemed to be a
person who could put people at bay but it seemed like Michael has a certain
type of frailty to his self and it wouldn't allow him to be very
strong-minded or to be forceful with a lot of people everybody he met he trusts
some reason and now like a lot of celebrities too and he'd find the doctor
just the right one who would do the thing that Michael wanted him to do
Michael felt that he needed to escape you know any and he had always been
suffering from insomnia from his far back as I can remember Michael Jackson
did have a problem so I believe he was an addict no I don't believe Michael
Jackson was a drug addict in went through cycles you know and then it
really depended on what was happening in his life and in this world I had no
reason to think or believe that he was on drugs until my children came to me
one time and he said it I said well I've never seen him in that shape and I went
to him and I talked to him about it and he kept denying it
I asked them I said now Michael there any problems I should know about what do
you mean I said well you know once in a while you seem a little dizzy you want
to go to rehab no now there you go see now why would you assume that I'm not
taking anything I'm not doing one thing one of the people worker friend said you
will never guess what this man is doing just to get to sleep
I said what and I was told he's using an anesthetic and then I said what howdy
howdy idea I've never heard of it such a thing dude I don't know what to
tell you but that's what's going on unfortunately he did find doctors who
are willing to do this crazy thing that ultimately led to his death we have
breaking news for you tonight the singer Michael Jackson is reported
to have died from a heart attack who heard that my brother had passed away
through my sister Janet who asked me to pull over to those rushing over to my
mom's I just couldn't believe it so uh I had to just sit in my car pull myself
together you know one of my mom's home the entire
family had met that evening and their condolence other you know as well
because is just the whole time was a rough time in my life
it's so very difficult David to talk about it really is and
I was heartbroken I was just totally heartbroken it was probably one of the
most surreal and solemn days of Holmes life as we know and I I would think I
was devastated I started to cry we had spent 40 years of our lives as the
closest friend and I couldn't believe it I remember the feeling I got you know it
was like somebody punching you in the stomach
God he was just so and follow the news of that attorney wedding following
because of the people exploring the me
that makes my Sarah I might protective Michael died it makes you idea like I
mentioned Michael two minutes it just people just stood up
I mean a lot of people took these silly lighters out you know it's just
it's just a Fed moment to have to carry on your brothers to engrave on SGG enemy
it's not a good feeling good because a major party you die with that there was
this million tasks and never lost a child children supposed to bury their
parents out there just very children and that's what hurt me the most
many days I go back to his first cry from the doctor slapping a model but I'm
tell him yes but all the memories of Michael's aunt I can't pick out any
particular
I'm happy with children here at the same time I'm sad because your father's gone
you always say daddy did it this way daddy used to do this daddy used to do
that those kids are so proud of your father I can't find it familiar you're
such a loss too soon if left such a gap and made us see what was missing why
hadn't we embrace him why aren't we love him he gave us so much love and so much
wonderful music and I think that this is what will always remember him for I love
the fact that everything he sang he sang from his heart and I love listen to
continued every record he's ever recorded
Michael's legacy is that he will be known as the greatest entertainer ever
Michael was a great talent is the best overall talent that I've ever seen in my
life and I've been following challenge since I was three years old he was the
best I ever saw
I'll remember that Lou bullet when he was 10 years old I see he kind of a
talented youngster that the firaon become one of the greatest games ever
made there's only one to me and not you
he made somebody Sarah my to me the greatest entertainer crying to my the
gentleman be very kind Holloway's always he was one of the
warmest and most lovable person you could ever meet
I think Michael's greatest Cheeseman throughout his life was making people
happy helping people somebody need an operation or a family
starving to meet food the youth in over groceries for a year things like that I
think that's where he really got his enjoyment seeing somebody fat becomes
happy those are things he really wanted to
achieve that was beyond music we will remember him as this great showman and
humanitarian
when people say to me do you think of my clothes being a tragedy
I just don't think of that all I think that Michael's story is one of triumph
this is a man who was the total embodiment of the American dream
this is a guy who came out of Gary Indiana and set the world on fire he did
amazing things with his life did he make mistakes yes but that's the humanity of
Michael Jackson I think that's most appealing he wanted to make the world a
better place that spirit of his is still around now the part that I love the most
is the gentle friend side all the other things everybody knows that part of my
goal text apart god bless my project proceed was one of
the greatest Michael Jackson became the biggest pop star of all time but cuz
then I remember because he was just one great human being
rest well left I loved even Katherine how do you feel
Michael Jackson will be remembered well David uh Michael practice one thing and
it was from his heart l.o.v.e doll and I think he would be remembered for the
love that he had for the world and especially for his fans and his family
thank you so much oh I love you another big note course
you
