Hela cd 2 av HIstory är ju typ om all skit han fått utstå. Jag gillar verkligen att han gjorde så. Menverkar inte så att dom tagit till sig dom som han riktar sig mot. Tillex ena låten, D.S. är ju om en viss person som velat MJ illa länge. Bara ändrat namnet på personen i texten. Man förstår ju ändå vem det är.
Tom Sneddon.
Who is Tom Sneddon and what does he have against Michael Jackson?
Since arresting Michael Jackson, Sneddon's actions have been questionable at best. Here is a chronological list of the stupid things Sneddon has said and done:
- During the press conference, Sneddon acknowledged that Michael was investigated in February but said "don't assume it's the same family." He knew it was the same family, why did he make this statement?
- At the press conference, he invited more victims to come forward.
- He acknowledged that he knew about these allegations since June but didn't take action until November because of Halloween. Yes, we wouldn't want to upset anyone's trick-or-treating experience, so let's let an alleged pedophile run around for five months and finally raid his house on the day that his new CD comes out.
- Sneddon said that the law was changed so that child victims in a molestation case could be forced to testify. This was a lie; the law was changed so that if a civil suit was filed, it would remain inactive until the criminal matter was resolved.
- Sneddon swore that the family was after justice and not money even though it is a widely known fact that they went to a civil lawyer first.
- He gave yet another interview to Diane Dimond where he called Michael "Jacko Wacko."
- Dimond admitted to knowing about the allegations months in advance. Why was the DA leaking information to a tabloid journalist?
- He delayed filing charges until December so that the SBPD could set up a website for members of the press.
- He hired a PR firm to help him deal with media inquiries (and slander Michael's name in the press).
- He dismissed the Department of Children and Family Services investigation as an "interview" and accused the DCFS of being incompetent. It turns out that his own department also investigated Michael Jackson in February and came back with the same ruling as the DCFS.
- He said that if Michael Jackson's claims of police abuse turned out to be false, he would charge him with making a false complaint even though Michael did not actually make a formal complaint. The SBPD, however, said they considered what he said on "60 Minutes" to be a formal complaint. This is not in accordance with the law.
- The alleged victim's parents are currently in the midst of a custody battle. Sneddon wrote a letter to the judge in the custody proceedings requesting that the boy be kept from seeing his father. Why would the district attorney care if the boy saw his father? What does this have to do with the molestation case? Perhaps Sneddon does not want the boy to change his story once he's no longer under the influence of his mother.
- Sneddon requested a grand jury instead of a preliminary hearing. Keep in mind that grand juries are usually convened before charges are filed. It seems that Sneddon is worried about what might happen if Mark Geragos gets a chance to speak with the alleged victim during the prelims. Perhaps he also doesn't want any evidence pointing to Michael's inncoence to be made public, which explains why he wants a grand jury (where the proceedings would be kept private if there was no indictment).
And this is just the beginning...
