Jason Francia Cross-Examined

Lead Defence attorney Thomas Mesereau cross-examined Jason Francia yesterday about his claims that he was fondled by Michael Jackson fifteen years ago. Francia repeatedly answered Mesereau's questions by saying he did not remember, similar to how the Arvizo children answered questions during their cross-examination at the beginning of the trial. The jury also heard from Francia's attorney Kris Kallman, who reached the financial settlement with Michael's then attorneys a decade ago. The attorney said the settlement stated it was not an admission of guilt on Michael's part, and that he was only paying to protect his name and image. Jason Francia's Mother Blanca was next to take the stand. She said she was concerned about Michael's behaviour with her son as well as other children, claiming she saw him in the shower with another boy and in bed with Macauley Culkin.
