Jacko indicted
Grand jury indicts Michael Jackson while Imp,
predict the King of Pop will be fully exoneraki
By Lynda Deutsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s legal team said the pop
star will be fully exonerated when he goes to trial on child
molestation charges.
A source close to the case told The Associated Press on
Thursday that Jackson was indicted, although authorities wouldn’t
confirm it and the indictment handed up by a Santa Barbara
County grand jury was sealed.
Jackson’s publicist and his legal defense team issued a state
ment Wednesday that did not confirm an indictment but said:
“Mr. Jackson and his attorneys are confident that after a trial on
these charges Mr. Jackson will be fully exonerated and that the
allegations contained in the indictment will be shown to be
patently false.”
A judge has issued a gag order that prohibits attorneys on both
sides from discussing the case with the media.
Jackson spokeswoman Raymone Bain told The Associated
Press that she had spoken with Jackson on Wednesday, but would
say only that the singer “is out and about.”
The closed-door grand jury proceedings replaced a prelimi
nary hearing, which is open to the public. Both proceedings are
to determine whether there is enough evidence for a case to go
to trial.
Four months ago. county prosecutors charged Jackson with
seven counts of lewd or lascivious acts on a child under the age of
14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent, report
edly wane. Jackson pleaded innocent in January to those charges
and has been free on $3 million bail.
Jackson is scheduled to be arraigned April 30 on the grand jury
an indictment.
Jackson attorney Mark Geragos. reached by telephone, would
not answer questions from The Associated Press.
The district attorney’s office also would not commentaksl
media reports, said Susan Tellem of Tellem Worldwide,
handle media inquiries for District Attorney Tom Snedc
case. Calls by The Associated Press to Sneddon and others
office were not immediately returned.
Transcripts of the secret grand jury proceeding wil
ed to Jackson’s defense team within the next 10days.Thei®]
scripts w ill then be made public 10 days after that unless
Jackson’s attorneys can convince a judge doing so wouldpru
dice a future jury pool.
The grand jury has spent the last three weeks hearingfton
nesses, including a 14-year-old boy who claims the supersa
ally abused him.
On Wednesday, grand jurors were whisked from the proce
ings to the downtown Santa Barbara courthouse in vans wil
ened windows. There they met with Sneddon and presidin:
Superior Court Judge Clifford Anderson.
Conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges were bens
considered against several associates of Michael Jacksonfe
allegedly threatening the family of the boy who hasacci®
Jackson of child molestation, the Los Angeles Timesreporo;
Wednesday.
An unidentified source close to the case told theTimesii);
charges were under consideration.
Attorney Joseph Tacopina said there had been specula!: |
two of his clients. Vincent Amen and Frank Tyson, would;I
be indicted by the grand jury or charged separately withalj
intimidation of w itnesses. He denied the allegations andsaiii
two former Jackson employees would not appear beforetk
grand jury.
The attorney said the accusations came from the boy’sm
and were "patently false.”
Tellem said the district attorney would have no commem
because of a gag order.
