Judge Rodney Melville barred the prosecution from entering the testimony of Ian Drew, a journalist, into Michael Jackson's trial.
Drew allegedly overheard Ronald Konitzer, a former associate of Jackson, speak of the Arvizo family "escaping" from Neverland.
This testimony bolstered their contention that there was a conspiracy to hold the Arvizo's against their will.
Drew said:
"I was told they (the Arvizos) had disappeared...I believe the word 'escaped' was used."
Drew admitted that he may not have heard Konitzer say "escaped."
Quote:
"I was on deadline trying to get a story done..I remember the tone of the conversation more than his exact words."
The prosecution seem to be grasping at straws.
