Key Evidence From the Prosecutor Put Under Question

During the first police raid on Neverland in 2003, after charges were brought against Michael Jackson, police obtained a magazine that was later reported to have the complainant’s fingerprints as well as Michael Jackson’s fingerprints on it. Judge Melville ruled that this evidence could be used in court. However, this evidence has a major problem and may have been contaminated. Court attorney Harvey Levin says: "Based on what we’ve seen, this evidence may have been tainted. We know that when the complainant (in April) was testifying before the jury, he had this magazine in his hands. At that moment, one of the jurors asked, ‘Is this magazine fingerprinted?’ And the police chief answered, ‘No.’ Following that, the defense attorneys raised the question: ‘How do you know when that boy touched this magazine—at Neverland or in front of the jury?’" A reporter from Celebrity Justice was present in court at the time. He says that at that moment, Michael smiled at the jury members and was writing something down. This reporter also says that Michael Jackson and his defense team obtained a location outside the courtroom where, during the court’s break, they sat down and talked there.
