he was doing WHAT?

My @netflix membership is officially canceled. If you come after Michael Jackson, you come after all of us who knew him, worked with him, loved him, and continue to defend his legacy. Some things are bigger than slander in the name of entertainment. #MichaelJackson

Sneddon was a bonafide racist. And that was the main reason he tried so hard to go after Michael. More people need to wake up to this fact.

Netflix doc conveniently forgot to include prosecutor Tom Sneddon's racist "boy" remark to Chris Tucker

The courtroom gasped while Chris glared at him

Can’t believe the Michael team put this photo on the back of the steelbook instead of making it a poster. It would’ve easily been their best one

Every time a Michael Jackson hater runs out of legal arguments regarding his 2005 acquittal, they rush to the internet and pull out the same sensationalist story: “The Neverland police reports and the disturbing books.” They act as if it's some newly discovered bombshell, but the truth is simple: all of this was debated, scrutinized, and ultimately rejected by the jury in court more than 20 years ago.

Let me explain once and for all what the FBI and the American justice system actually concluded about the books found in Michael's room.
Michael never even touched those books (zero fingerprints). Let's start with the fact that immediately destroys this narrative. Forensic investigators examined the books seized from Neverland and found that Michael Jackson's fingerprints were not present on the interior pages of any of them. Michael owned a massive library of more than 10,000 books. As he explained in interviews, he received thousands of gifts, packages, photography books, and publications from fans, photographers, and publishers around the world. Many of those items went straight onto shelves without him ever opening them or even knowing exactly what they contained. The prosecution tried to blame a man for books he may never have even flipped through.
They were 100% legal art books. The titles seized by investigators, including works associated with artists such as James Bidgood, Simen Johan, and Kelly Klein, were collections of photography, naturist imagery, and adult artistic content. They were legally published, available through mainstream retailers, and cataloged by major libraries. None of them met the legal definition of child pornography. If there had been even the slightest indication of illegal content, Michael would have been charged with possessing prohibited material back in either 1993 or 2003. That never happened.

Even the prosecutor admitted it. Ron Zonen, one of the prosecutors who worked tirelessly to secure a conviction in 2005, later acknowledged a key fact: “There was no child pornography. There were no videos involving children.” The prosecution attempted to use the books as part of a broader theory of grooming, hoping to create a particular impression in the minds of jurors. But speculation is not evidence, and the strategy ultimately failed.

In 2016, tabloids tried to revive the story. Websites such as Radar Online republished old allegations and claimed to reveal shocking new evidence. Critics pointed out serious issues with those reports, including allegations that certain images had been digitally altered or presented in a misleading way. Some observers also noted the inclusion of material from works published years after the original Neverland searches, raising questions about the accuracy and reliability of the reports. The controversy only reinforced how heavily disputed those claims were.
The FBI found nothing illegal. Federal authorities spent years examining allegations involving Michael Jackson. Investigators reviewed computers, hard drives, documents, and other materials seized from Neverland. After all of that scrutiny, no child pornography charges resulted from those investigations. Reports indicated that investigators found adult heterosexual pornography, which is completely legal for an adult to possess. Michael Jackson was an adult man, and possessing legal adult pornography is not a crime anywhere in the United States. The jury already saw all of this. During the 2005 trial, jurors reviewed the books, heard the testimony, examined the evidence, and listened to the prosecution's theories. They were not kept in the dark. They saw the very material that critics continue to cite today. After months of testimony and deliberation, the result was clear Michael Jackson was found not guilty on all 14 counts.
Bringing up these books today as if they are some newly discovered smoking gun does not demonstrate a deep understanding of the case.

Disappointed in Netflix. As someone who knew and worked with Michael Jackson, I’m tired of seeing the same allegations recycled while his generosity, accomplishments, and impact are ignored. I can no longer support Netflix.

Michael Jackson becomes the first and only act in history to earn a new Hot 100 hit in each of the last six consecutive decades.

1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.
