Searches Abused

Michael Jackson's defence team want his molestation case dismissed, no secret there then!

They argue that the prosecution have overstepped themselves, by abusing search warrants and unnecessarily raiding Jackson's Neverland Ranch this month. Apparently, more than 100 search warrants have been issued relating to this case.

The prosecution state that the recent raids on Neverland, between 3rd and 4th December, were:

"clearly designed to shock and intimidate the defendant, his family and staff...."

It seems that despite the fact that the search warrant was issued on 24th November, the search was delayed by more than a week. The defence argue that this was done, deliberately, to disrupt their preparations for the last court deadline.
