Michael Jackson Trial Reenactment: Day 39 (Full Episode)

/ mjjrepository Includes reenactment and commentary of: Motion arguments regarding 1993 "Boy" books, Beverly Wagner, Janet Arvizo (for context), Craig Bonner. In commentary, James Curtis and Rikki Klieman inaccurately claim the 1993 charges were "only dropped after [the civil settlement]" but the criminal probe in fact continued for 8 months after the civil settlement, including through two extended grand juries and 400+ witness. “Michael Jackson is presumed to be innocent as any citizen in this room is if they are not convicted of a crime. We are not charging Michael Jackson with a crime.” -Gil Garcetti (September 21, 1994)
Regarding the 1993 books, the state had a third book from the same raid that also featured girls at play, but they voluntarily excluded that one to only fixate on the ones with boys. These retail books were noted as rare and out-of-print in the late-1980s when MJ received them, with the state admitting "from the inscription it appears that possibly a fan...gave the book to him..." The books were found in a filing cabinet that Blanca Francia still had the key for years after she worked at Neverland. The state agreed that MJ had "a tremendous amount of material from fans that was sent to him."

Whatever Mj gets from his fans is of great value n like a treasure to him❤

Noone has been able to explain to me why if Michael owned the books for the nefarious reasons they claim why he didn't replace the books or buy anything like them after the 1993 raid

Including nothing incriminating found when the FBI scrubbed all 18 of his computer and laptop hard drives in 2004. The state declined to test those books for fingerprints or DNA. It is probable that MJ thumbed through them once when he received them as a gift, put his inscription in one to potentially increase the value knowing they were out-of-print, put them in that filing cabinet for safekeeping with other collectibles and they remained there until investigators unlocked it using the former maid's key many years later. In the absence of any CP and among over 10,000 books at NL, these are completely innocuous. They were sold in retail bookstores and available at college libraries (and the library of congress) as well.
