Jones appeared on Geraldo Rivera's (FOX) show June 3 2007, but her segment seemed rushed for lack of time and omnipresent commercial breaks.
You would have had to be living on Mars from 2003 to 2005 not to notice the media trapped in their own group-think concerning whether {tag Michael Jackson} was innocent or guilty, or whether he would be acquitted or imprisoned.
The writer admitted to being part of the media mob as well. She recounted quarreling with Rivera about Jackson because at the time, she too, was caught up in the hysteria to convict despite the lack of evidence.
{tag Aphrodite Jones}'s book is set to be released June 13, two years to the day of Jackson's acquittal.
Check out the video segment here (courtesy of mjeol.com) :
{tag Michael Jackson Conspiracy} also includes a forward from Jackson lawyer Thomas Mesereau.
What was truly surprising is that Mark Furhman, best known for his repeated use of the N-word during the OJ Simpson trial, was also given a spot on Rivera's show during the split-segment.
{mosgoogle left}Furhman expressed exactly the reason why so many on-air talking heads got the Jackson story so wrong.
He flat out admitted he didn't have enough enough information coming from either the prosecution or the defense,but he wanted Jackson convicted despite evidence of the commission of a crime.
On the show, the foot-in-mouth Furhman pretended as if Jackson broke the law by allowing kids to sleep in his room. I don't keep up with California law, but I don't ever remember California passing a law against that.
The fact is there has to be a crime committed before a judge or a jury can take away a person's life, livelihood, and legacy by incarcerating them. Maybe it slipped Furhman's mind?
Well, at least he didn't call Jackson the N-word 30 times.
