It was one of those things. I couldn't believe it, first of all, that people were saying these things... ... At the same time, it was amazing to me that nobody asked me. They didn't even double-check it. They didn't even ask.

We thoroughly studied the testimony, evidence, rules and procedures. We confidently came to our verdict [of not guilty on all 10 counts of child molestation].

To the outside world, news reports would have people believe that Jackson’s Neverland was filled with dark undercurrents, with sinister games to lure children into a trap. However, inside the courtroom, where it really counted, it turned out that the pop icon, through his own privately recorded statements, had convinced the jury that he was an innocent pawn.
