The MJCast 010: Vindication Day 10th Anniversary Special With Tom Mesereau

- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- To mark this important occasion, the 10th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s acquittal from false child molestation allegations on June 13th, 2005, we are releasing this special episode. The MJCast’s Legal Correspondent Charles Thomson along with regular hosts Jamon Bull and Q interview Thomas Mesereau, one of the foremost criminal defence attorney’s in United States legal history. Mesereau served as Michael’s principal attorney during his mid 2000’s criminal trial around false child molestation allegations and continued representing Jackson and his affairs for a time afterwards. Ten years ago today Jackson was acquitted of all fourteen charges brought against him by the Arvizo family and their prosecuting lawyer, Santa Barbara Country District Attorney Tom Sneddon. In addition to Michael’s obvious innocence, his vindication and exoneration are also due to the professionalism and efforts of Tom Mesereau and his then legal partner Susan Yu. Topics of discussion include Mesereau’s childhood, his history as a lawyer, what it was like working with Michael Jackson and also the trial itself. We then delve into a dialogue around Jackson’s posthumous legacy, the legitimacy of his Estate executors, the events surrounding his death and what Michael Jackson’s victory in 2005 has meant for his legacy long term. If you have any thoughts, opinions, or feedback on the show, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us at themjcast@icloud.com or find the links to our many social networks on www.themjcast.com. We hope you enjoy this special episode of our Michael Jackson podcast, The MJCast. Keep Michaeling!
I remember the day Michael was proven innocent. In Birmingham AL I was shopping in Macy's and everyone was grouped together in front of tvs in the store. Everyone was screaming and shouting with Happiness and excitement that he was vindicated. I love MJ and Janet. Big Jackson fans in the south!!
Shalon Jackson wow, what an terrific remembrance of the event, thank you so much for sharing!! Yep, we are just big fans also, and that's why we produce this podcast, it's all for love! [-Q]
Sending love to you in Alabama from California! MJ is innocent🙏🏽🌻❤️
I’m from south AL, I was 13 at the time, but yes I agree, tons of Michael fans down here that don’t buy into the BS at all. That’s not to say I haven’t had many discussions with ignorant people, BUT usually people show a ton of respect for Michael. Lot of racism and phobia down here, but also a ton of love and passion as well.

Aww man, I wish you had a video of that. That would've been amazing.
Tom Mesereau is a Great Man. The way he speaks about MJ is almost like a saint. It is rare that a lawyer is so sure of his client's innocence and even defends his innocence and his character to this day, without being involved with his family or his estate. This is a man of honor and speaks from experience and people need to listen to him when in doubt.
I lost it when Tom Mesereau talked about how sensitive and vulnerable, being an artistic genius who notices things we don't notice... a champion for children being accused of being a monster, criminal gangster conspiring to kidnap children ... MJ had to sit in court every day and listen to this. He said MJ went downhill emotionally. ... I lost it 😭😭😭😭😭
Same. Just gut wrenching to listen to.
With the Leaving Neverland mockumentary out to defame MJ, this interview is more relevant than ever.
TOM MESEREAU YOUR AMAZING! YOU PROVED MJ TO BE INNOCENT!
Tom Mesereau has the upmost integrity. MJ was innocent. We felt it, Tom proved it, now the world knows it. It would be an honor to meet him.
HE WAS PROVED TO BE INNOCENT! THANK YOU GUYS FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR MICHAEL JACKSON! THE MAN WAS ALOVING KIND PERSON!
Fans love him for what he has done for the most loved man in the world we wont never forget him
👍👍👍👍👍🔥😊😊😊💖I agree @@terryboyd5808
A great Tom Mesereau interview. I have to agree with him. The Michael Jackson trial was indeed a civil rights trial. So many of MJ's constitutional rights were stompped upon by the police and the prosecution. I am glad that he did mention in this podcast that judge Melville was biased towards the prosecution. I read several of the transcripts from the trial, not all, and I did come away with that impression. It's so unfair that Michael had to go through all of those things that he was forced to go through. They all presumed his guilt and did not really look at the evidence. Michael had claimed in his "They Don't Care about US" song that they could never break him. They did break him though. He was strong, but at the end the day, he was also human. He could only take on so much hate, mistreatment and abuse. It's disturbing, but it's also proof that the US still has a long way to go, until it achieves the proclamations that we set out in the constitution.
I wish Tom The Hurricane Mesereau would vote for president.He is so loyal to Michael and just an amazing man.I really admire him.
If presidency was such an honorable profession everyone would do it 😂
God cleared the way for this amazing man to depart from Robert in order to become a defender to our beloved Michael. What a thing of beauty to witness my favorite character Atticus Finch come to life in this fine gentleman!
Yeeeeessssss
This man, this great attorney, Mr. Mesereau is so fascinating to listen. His deep respect and feeling about MJ as a person is moving. We are lucky to have this attorney. I will always miss Michael Jackson, and wish only the very best for his loved ones.
If only all lawyers were like this man, the justice system would be a lot healthier.... Ethical stand out
Very true
Exactly. This man is the best in the world. God bless him
Love this very honest and fresh interview! A real lawyer that is really concerned about people getting justice and vindicated for crimes they did not commit. Michael Jackson's problems did not
start with this trial, however. His problems started with acquiring the sony catalog. He beat the evil forces at their own game. He was brilliant in realizing that Black people had been ripped off
for centuries, over their masters, and owning their music, and he said enough is enough! He broke all barriers, including, breaking down the wall of MTV. They did not want Black entertainers on
their station, and Michael kicked the door down! He made them put him on after the brilliant videos he created. The powers to be were upset at his boldness, and he became a mark man. If you
pay attention to the time line, after the boldness of purchasing the Sony catalog, and then going out publicly against Tommy Matola, that is when all the BS began. The lies of child molestation,
the lies of him being broke, and so many negative innuendos, that all rumors ran a muck! Mr Mesereau was brave to come out and not only defend Michael Jackson in the court room, but also
he defended him in the public court. I just wish people would stop listening to the media and do the research and READ! It is fundamental! I will always look at Michael and Mr Mesereau, as
heroes. They go against the world for true justice, and we can only pray that others do the same!
You got it all right here I love your comment you are ABSOLUTELY right about it ALL‼️ I also wish people would do their research and read before saying false silly things that media wants them to think and say it bothers me so badly ♥️
And American justice don't respect people's presumption of innocence. They are FRAUD.
Why so much hatred and jeoulsy for smoNes talent !!!
Tom Mesereau is such a nice, humble man. I would love to meet him just to thank him for his loyalty to Michael. I've watched this episode about 12 times the past year.
So interesting to hear Tom Mesereau speak about his parentage, youth and early experiences that helped shape his view of the world and inform his later career as a defense attorney. Such a fine man and consummate professional. May I also compliment you on your interview skills -- allowing your guest to fully respond to questions without interrupting him. Thank you so very much.
noirchild58 Thank-you, noirchild58! We focus very hard on letting the guest tell the story and the narrative rather than us. We are just there to steer the conversation in the direction the fan community would hopefully want it to go in! J.
noirchild58 - This man was amazing!!!! I am so impressed with his personage in general. He as well had a great great heart. I think about the story of JESUS and all that he had to endure. I pray that Micheal is somewhere smiling as the pain, judgement, and ridicule is no longer his burden. GOD IS REAL AND HIS RETRIBUTION IS GREASTEST😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Interruption is usually a way of redirecting the conversation to control the narrative.
Sir Tom Mesereau is a very honourable man. I have much respect for him.
Total respect to lawyer T. Mesereu and total love to Michael Jackson.
Tom has a special place in heaven for real !!!
Michael is saving a spot for him 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Absolutely!
@@MorbidMissMuffet Lovely comment. I think you are right. 💖💖💖
Simply Brilliant Interview. The single best interview with Mr. Mesereau I've heard. Insightful, respectful and in depth questions with no rush in getting to a direct answer, conversations are relaxed and explained in depth. This is exactly the type of information the media have tried so hard to suppress. Cannot thank the MJCast enough for bringing this and Mr. Mesereau for taking the time to explain it all.
For a criminal lawyer to defend a client over 15 years after the trial and a decade after his passing even after I'm sure the media offering him much money to snitch on Michael speaks volumes of Mr. Mesereau character and Michael's innocence.
Well stated!
Absolutely 😊
It's not hard to figure out that the media is up to no good, but this discussion and interview really lays it all bare. Amidst the growth of the internet and social media there's no doubt that the mainstream media, Hollywood, tv, and the concept of "celebrity" in general are all in their death throws. But we aren't completely beyond it all yet unfortunately. It's great that we can now listen to talks like this and I look forward to the day a complete revolution on all monetized media has dawned. We shouldn't have to sort through anything but the facts in order to understand the life and character of Michael Jackson.
I am so glad to have run across this YT page. Thomas Mesereau is an exceptional human being, lawyer, and friend to MJ. Michael was tormented from 1993 to 2005. If not for Thomas Mesereau Lord only knows how the outcome for Michael would have been. God Bless Thomas Mesereau.
+Priscilla Dea' Scott you're right, this case was just like OJ's case.
you nailed it Priscilla Dea
@@7tbryant But OJ was guilty
@@TheUnderCoverMother2020 So what? The OJ case was totally different. Or do you think every black man accused on trial is guilty? With OJ, there was a mountain of evidence that indicated that he was guilty. With MJ, there was no such evidence. It was his word against the boys.
Godbless Tom Mesereau and the Jackson family.
I agree with you on that 1000%
Amen
Forever grateful to you Atty. Tom Mesereau for always giving your honest opinion about Michael Jackson. You are the greatest criminal lawyer in the universe❤❤❤
Tom Mesereau is one of the greatest human beings I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! 😊
Paulina! Thank you for helping MJ get justice! Sadly Still the general public doesn’t know how false the allegations were..
Try rhythm t at yy
You’re trying Ryan off
Mcgyb
Thank YOU for your nice comments about Michael on the True Crime with Aphrodite Jones episode
MR TOM Mesereau is very decent and kind lawyer, you don't see many in this day. I can listen to him for day and learn a lot.
I am a huge fan of Tom, his charity work & his unwavering defense of MJ.
This is a very good interview...nice job guys!
Human beings are very rarely like him. Just some angels in the world
@55 just heard about him
A real Champ 💪💪💯
He is amazing. Angel describes him perfectly.
It's amazing how people can discard this court case , and treat him like a criminal when they were 1000 of kids who visited Neverland only 4 people accused him of being a monster so sad human beings are heartless
This guy seems very humble..... Good job sir...
Tom Mesereau is such a noble man and did a brilliant job in defending Michael. I love listening to him speak
I could listen to him talk for hours and hours . What a man! Stood by MJ in life and death . Nothing but blessings 🙏🏻
Thank God Robert Blake had a falling out with Mr. Mesereau, he is the best defense attorney in America and Michael's angel.
Thanks God for Michael Jackson and also for Thomas Mesereau.The MJCast much much love to you.
Tom the Hurricane is an amazing man and lawyer!I really admire him!Thank you so much for saving Michaels life!
I feel the same way. He looked bad. Tired. God bless him he tried so hard to make a come back. I think if he'd taken things slow he would still be here. Had a year to get in shape. But sadly it didn't happen that way. My heart's broken for his children. They miss their daddy. 🙏❤️
You can’t really respect someone until you accept his uniqueness. Love these words. ❤️
First lawyer who has had me in tears...for a positive reason! Very touched by Tom's humanity and how he articulated so many aspects of Michael the man vs the 'machine'.
This is a epic interview with Mr mesereau and I think he is extremely honest and down to earth and saw Michael for the true person that he really is and always has been. We fans appreciate that tom saw what we already knew.
Thank you Mr. Thomas Meserauw for defending Michael Jackson, God bless you
Thank God for Tom Mesereau!! Nothing less than a miracle worker!
Mesereau is wonderful Man as well as AMAZING Lawyer and it is True the any one to know him would Love him as a Fellow Human Being...thank you...
Mr Mesereau is so clear and worth listening to. Never stumbles over His words, is direct and sincere.
And this Lawyer knew Michael was & is INNOCENT...
mikey was innocent, and young bhoys loved him
Yes innocent always 😎✌
This was a wonderful interview with very well thought out questions ...Covered so much :))..I was particularly glad to hear Mr Mesereau, talk about some of the astonishing rulings the judge found a way to throw in , to favor the prosecutors in this case ..As well as his thoughts on DA Sneddon obsession with the famous Michael Jackson...This was a pleasure to listen to ..Thanks so much for doing it and thanks to Mr Mesereau , as well, for making time for the fan community .
There is still hope for humanity. Plenty of good people out there. Mr. Tom is one of them. I can't imagine what an agony Michael went through with his inner dialoge during trial. Tom you stood by him through his deep darkest hours. Thankyou.
As I understood charitable deeds and his fondness with children made him open the door of his residence to all kind of children. At the end of the day he was rewarded with ungratefulness of the world. He went through melicious treatment from the community and from the press.
Thank you from bottom of the heart , Mr. Tom Mesereau... YOU PROVED that HONEST And TRUST WORTHY HUMANS STILL LIVE, EXIST ON THIS PLANET EARTH...YOU REALLY SAVED BEAUTIFUL KIND LOVING GODLY SOUL MJ and definitely His LEGACY...HUGE RESPECT FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM🙏🙏🙏
I would like him for a lawyer Thank Tom for defending michael jackson
Brilliant interview and brilliant lawyer!
This man is amazing. Thank you, Tom!!!
I wasn't awake the morning that Michael's verdicts were first read, having slept in...but I was happy to see them broadcast later that afternoon. I do remember seeing his website plastered with orchestral music and the word "innocent", though.
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PODCAST ABOUT MIKE
This gives me back the confidence in human nature ❤💕
I love you so much Tom mesereau thank you for defending Michael hugs and kisses to you
Thank you , thank you, thank you Mr mesereau for being there and seeing the real truth.
Thank you so much MJ Cast for this very informative episode. I am really happy . I was really clarified to all what happened to MJ that time. H e is my HERO. He is like Jesus who suffered a lot inspite of his charitable deeds to mankind . Offered his both hands to help the needy and this is the price. To mention the root for all of this sacrifices of MJ was the TABLOID who ruined his entire life. Until this time when MJ 's death Anniversary still the media uses the allegations to earn money. How awful they are ! I really believe in the saying that "Money is the root of all evil". Anyway again thank you so much MJ Cast. Continue your generous deed . From the bottom of my heart I really appreciate your effort just to give us MJ fans beneficial episodes that brought joy and happiness for all of us. GOD BLESS YOU ALL MJ Cast.
Actually its the "love of money" is the root of all evil 😉
T-Mez is so legendary he got a rap name during the trial. Haha. I adore him.
God gave us a gift, but we didn't appreciate it, so He took it back. We are a lesser place without Michael Jackson 😢😢
You mean the media mistreated him. All of his fans supported him and loved him unconditionally. I was outside at the trial every single day. So I don't know where you say we didn't appreciate Michael !!!
God bless Mr Mesereau and Ms Yu
Yes, Ms Yu deserves appreciation.
Excellent interview with thoughtful questions that focused on Mesereau and his philosophy of law and life. Did not know MJ was recording in the studio during the trial.
MJ was always recording! 😉
N1CKLBACK "[He] never stopped..." J.
Great interviews The MJCast ! Look forward to hearing more, especially those involved in This Is It.
Thank you Tom Mesereau, God bless you 🙏🏽. Rest in peace Michael 🕯- to me your legacy will always be your incomparable talent, your kind heart, your humility and inspiring me to be authentic and to achieve my goals ❤
This is an Amazing Interview!👍
I think Susan Yu should be appreciated as well. She, too, defended Michael Jackson.
She doesn't give that much interview cause she is a camera shy person, that's why less people know abt him.
@@nikhilsharma2112 MJ fans should appreciate her, nonetheless.
@@WesleyGathage ya,but i think less people know her, maybe that's why
I can not belive that much hate against him! Heart breaking!
Another Great Interview Guys, a privilege to hear Tom Mesereau speaking about our beloved Michael....And fabulous intro .....Keep up the Great Work ...
What an amazing interview! I’m deeply touched by Tom Mesereau’s articulate answers to your well chosen questions. Thank you!
Such a great interview. Ive listen to it several times. Thank you very much!
Oh Tom Mesereau is quite simply an angel on earth. Not just another money hungry, fascist attorney.
He genuinely cares for others, and has represented Michael's defence, not just during the 2005 trial, but STILL defends him and is the only one in his field (other than Susan) who never stops defending Michael. Takes TIME out, FREELY, to give us insight into the actual happenings in the trial, not just leaving it at the courtroom or leave it up to the media with their relentless, biased, one sided, negative views to tell us the TRUE stories. He still ans says he will always take on the witch-hunting media and disgusting liars to defend Michael. He doesn't have to, but he NEVER stops defending Michael, WITHOUT any payment, does not to it to glorify himself or for ANY personal gain. This man's only agenda? Is that he purely and genuinely WANTS to speak out against the INJUSTICE toward Mike even all these years later, even though Michael is no longer here... ALL lawyers should take a leaf out of his book. And his book should be called "SELFLESS".
I think I can speak for The whole MJ Family/MJJ Community when I say WE SALUTE, LOVE and THANK you for never wavering and for your continued, unconditional support for MJ, his family, friends AND we, his fans. LOVE YOU SO MUCH, TOM MESEREAU! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
indeed, it's a civil rights case, and therefor fundamentally important. Justice is not disposable and not a question of majority either.
Listening to the details properly is hard not to tear up. From the bottom of our hearts Thank you Tom and Susan. Thank you God. Pray for humanity. God bless Michael.
Wow! A big thank you for this Interview from Germany! Michael we are still with you!
Love Mr. Mesereau! ❤ Thank you MJ Cast for the interview. You've gained a subscriber! I'll be looking forward to seeing more content.
Thank you sir Tom Meseaureu
Thank you For à wonderful job on defending MJ may you have a beautiful life God bless you , rest on peace MJ I miss you very much.
A refreshing interview that is unbiased. Thank you for posting this and allowing Tom Mesereau to speak even though Charles Thomson was there (silent powerful support) and you all could have chimed in or try to sway. An insightful, delightful 2 hours.
Very Good Job Guys!!!!!!!!!!!
King Jordan Thanks Jordan. Really, really appreciated. J.
Love love love the King of Pop.MJ was ALWAYS INNOCENT 💕👍
Wonderful interview!
Mj was always innocent the king of pop rocks love mj ✌💞🦋😊🌹🤴🙃🎤🙂💚🌹🌸🦋
I threw away and gave away all my my music done by him in 2005, up until recently I believed everything mainstream media told me... no smoke without fire!! Lockdown for some reason had me looking at these allegations rubbish and my mind was blown at the whole picture! I found all the evidence that’s out there that is not widely known that mj is completely innocent 😇 ... wow 🤩
It's too bad that many people will not do the research like you did. I always felt Michael was innocent, but I recently went deeper to learn about everything that happened. I was literally mortified to learn how the media and the DA were like rabid dogs trying to destroy Michael. It pains me to think what they put that poor soul through. Michael was such a good person and didn't deserve any of it. I am sad he is gone, but he is safe and in a better place now where no one can hurt him anymore. RIP sweet angel.
See what tabloids and devilish people hating a pure soul did? Good that you took time to verjfy the real story was and you are trusting M J.
Incredibly interesting interview. Tom is an outstanding human. And thank god Michael had him on his side. Bless you all💕💕💕💕
This is a good in depth interview covering an array of questions. I listened to it over and over again, keep up the good work!
Thank you for this one. Just finished listening to this beautiful interview. Can't believe we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary next year. Time flies. Keep moonwalking. MJ ForEVER
THANK YOU MJ CAST YOUR AWESOME!
The greatest Defense lawyer of all time!
This is a very very good interview thank you so much I enjoyed it very much God bless Mr Tom Mesereau and everyone that stands and still defending Michael Jackson bc he was a great human being
If only he is still alive to see all these joy from his fans 😭😭
Amazing so glad I found this channel today need to go back and watch all your other videos. You have a new subscriber today, Thank You ♥
Great Podcast. Thanks so much MJ 4Eva!! ❤️❤️
Absolutely wonderful! I could listen to the knowledge, graciousness and honesty of Tom Meserau, for hours. A super interview, many thanks for facilitating it and sharing with us.
Just the best...Honor to him-
Sad how Jay Leno didn't want help and pArticipate in the case for Michael.
Especially in view of how he too had been approached by Galvin's family. I recall he asked the judge to lighten the gag order; on the witnesses ( himself in particular ) so that he could use things/info related to the case on his Tonight show montage.
Awesome episode guys.
Wonderful job thank you love it. Hope some learn something important about Michael and what he went through.
He was raised where I am living now, Englewood NJ
Thank you mr. Thomson and Mr. Messreau! Great interview!!😘😘😘😘
MJ was blessed to have Tom Mesereau in his defense team..
Very interesting! I have difficulty sleeping and sometimes let UA-cam run so I got this show accidentally. When the trial was going on I believed M.J. was innocent. I am not a huge fan of his art but had a strong feeling it was a trumped up case. I also find interviews on "Leaving Neverland" to sound false. I find no credence in the young men with their belated accusations, especially after one of them testified under oath to the opposite of what he now claims!
Love this interview.
33:08 I mean, just listen to this.
The judge tried to get at LEAST something from this case, knowing from the beginning that they could lose it in general.
My point is HOW this ridiculousness had passed to the court??????!
Court is literally a game.
Great Video very interesting to listen to tom fantastic lawyer MJ is and always will be Innocent subscribing 💼
Thank you for the epic interview. What was done to MJ was quite literally a lynching, only in a different form.
