"I agree with Michael Jackson today. I think that it went very very well. And I think it started with the video at the end of the prosecutor''s direct examination.

STORYLINE
A family now accusing Michael Jackson of child molestation was on Friday seen by jurors in a video praising him as a father figure, and the sister of the accuser testified under cross-examination that she had accused her own father of molesting her after her mother made the allegation.
Prosecutors showed jurors the video, which they claim was a staged and scripted response to a damaging documentary about Jackson.
"God worked through Michael to help us," the mother of the accuser said in the video, adding: "When we saw no hope, Michael said there was hope. ... We were broken and Michael fixed us."
As the pop star left court for the weekend after the trial''s first week of testimony, he told reporters: "It went very good, very good."
When asked about Michael Jackson''s mood, Jackson family spokesperson said that "right now his mood is good".
The video was played during testimony by the accuser''s 18-year-old sister, who told jurors on Thursday that Jackson''s associates had the family make the tape.
It was made about two weeks after a 2003 TV documentary in which her brother appeared with Jackson, who said he allowed the boy to sleep in his
bed while he slept on the floor.
During cross-examination intended to call the credibility of the accuser''s family into question, the witness acknowledged accusing her father, who is
divorced from her mother, of sexually abusing and imprisoning her and of making terrorist threats.
Jackson attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. asked the young woman if she had once told police she was being abused by her father five times a week, and she answered, "We were abused every day."
Mesereau asked if the father appeared to agree with the accusation, and she said yes.

I cry every time I watch Michael go through so much pains knowing he was innocent of all allegations...And I love the fact that his family was strongly behind him as well as the Fans...

[@monicarichardson2086]

Mike forgot who he was and that children are innocent until the influences around them make them not so innocent. If he surrounded himself with lots of adult women, it would be them claiming sexual misconduct, but it was children and the adults over the children were all too eager to destroy & collect by any means necessary.

Michael looks so thin 🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@chilad6012]

Oh my gosh he was so thin here 😞😞 it's so sad that his life was so miserable for the most part and tiring. I feel like the only good times he had were his last few years raising his kids. God bless him. An amazing human being who only did good in the world and mean people abused him for his money. You can tell how miserable he is in his History album, his songs Money, They Don't Really Care About Us, Tabloid Junkey, D.S. (!!!). He went from singing happy pop songs to singing about real ass shit that honestly is still relevant today. Cops and authorities trying to kill and imprison innocent black people. And how embarrassing must it be to be James Safechuck and Wade Robson accusing him NOW that he's dead making a whole ass documentary about it, suing. Their stories are always changing. I call bullshit. They wanted to remain faithful in Michael's eyes and as soon as he died they turned their backs against him but little do they know he is still watching them and probably so hurt these people who he called friends would end up being like the rest of the douchebags that used him for money. So sad. Love you Michael.

This innocent man went through hell we cannot even imagine. They wanted to destroy him and humiliate him and they eventually succeeded in destroying him emotionally and spiritually. The man who gave so much to us, to the whole world but unfortunately dirty greedy showbiz wolves wanted to ,,eat" him. Always breaks my heart seeing a pain this legend was experiencing. Yet so strong it's just incredible.

Being a spirit means like u r in ur dream with ur body asleep but still u r somewhere else listening, watching n travelling in ur dream. U can see someone who's not here anymore as well but only in ur dreams. Everything else who say they contacted or called someone from the spirit world is not true.

Everything starts in the family imo. Michael clearly didn't love himself, had self-esteem issues. They could've helped him rise confidence as a person and none of this could've come to happen. I believe certain family members were indifferent to his suffering. He probably was also used by them.
