Rulings Were The Topic Of The Docket On Friday Author: Team MJJsource
Friday, June 25th, 2004, Santa Maria, CA, Santa Barbara County Judge Rodney Melville demonstrated his frustration on Friday at the media's continued request to unseal documents. However, he remains steadfast in his rulings in order to ensure a fair trial for Michael Jackson.
A particular issue brought before Judge Melville by defense attorneys concerned the fact that they were not being permitted to examine evidence out of the hearing of Sheriff Department officials. Instructing both sides to work this out, Judge Melville reminded them of his previous ruling, allowing the defense to examine evidence without being overheard by law enforcement.
Additionally, Mark Geragos and Benjamin Brafman, Mr. Jackson’s previous attorneys, were ordered to turn over unspecified information to his current attorneys. Judge Melville stated any problem with compliance would cause Mr. Geragos to be ordered to appear at the next hearing on July 9th to explain.
Judge Melville stated that next month he will consider a motion by defense to dismiss all charges against Michael Jackson. A motion to dismiss is often employed by defense to argue that there is insufficient evidence to charge a defendant. Judge Melville can dismiss none, some or all of the charges against Mr. Jackson when he rules on the motion on July 9th.
Another hearing was set for August 16th. Judge Melville stated that this session could last several days. This hearing could include testimony from witnesses as the defense seeks to have some evidence ruled as inadmissible. Mr. Jackson will be required to attend this session. source:mjjsource

pardon for the delay, problems with the pc.
According to what brought on Fox News by the very famous reporter Roger Friedman, the accusations towards Michael Jackson could lose biting or even to collapse thanks to the pornographic material recovered by the police officers in the comodino of the singer during the search of the Neverland Ranch. If that raids promoted by the District Attorney of Santa Barbara Tom Sneddon it was the antechamber of the arrest of the singer, some picked tests in his name-always for Fox News he intends-you could excuse him instead. Which? A collection of magazines-Playboy, Hustler, Penthouse and Cheri-and Dvd destined to an adult and heterosexual public. No pedofilias. Naturally the news is not confirmed and the more armored judicial case of the century will continue. But who presides, the Judge of the Superior Court of Santa Barbara Rodney Melville, remembers that the interference of the media is jeopardizing the right of Mr. Jackson to an equitable trial.

Police Confiscated Porn and Pills From Neverland
It's good news and bad news for Michael Jackson, according to my sources, when it comes to items taken from his bedroom by the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's office.
This week, Jackson's lawyers lobbied judge Rodney S. Melville to keep sealed those parts of the indictment that would reveal what had been taken from Jackson's Neverland ranch last November when police conducted their all-day raid.
-------------------------------
Since then, it's seemed that the objects confiscated bore less of a consequence on any specific physical interaction Jackson might have had with his accuser, but showed questionable judgment on his part.
My source, who has seen documents related to the case, tells me that police found a "collection" of pornography in Jackson's large two-story bedroom. Among the items my source said were confiscated were magazines and DVDs of adult movies, including at least one that involved lesbian sex. That's the bad news.
The good news — and this is relative — is that the material, as far as can be determined so far, was of a heterosexual nature and did not involve children.
The magazines said to be found included the more conventional Playboy and Penthouse and more hard-core magazines such as Hustler and Cheri. How many issues of each magazine were confiscated is unknown, but according to my source, Jackson apparently kept them in a drawer next to his bedside.
What's troubling about this is that Jackson has boasted in the past about letting children sleep in his bed and, presumably, having access to the bedroom itself.
My source says that also taken by police during the raid were unspecified coins, framed and unframed pictures, and more seriously, prescription-pill bottles for controlled medications such as Oxycodone.
The big problem with the latter, I'm told, is that several of the vials' labels were made out not to Jackson but to employees whose name he used to secure unauthorized prescriptions.
As for the porno, the magazines and DVDs are said to have been purchased by Jackson's nephews and friends.
"It's not like Michael can go out and get this stuff himself," my source says. "He has to have others do it for him."
Nevertheless, my source says that the DVDs were kept in a locked briefcase in Jackson's bedroom.
The Santa Barbara grand jury that indicted Jackson might have actually felt that the accusing child's proximity and potential access to these materials constituted abuse or neglect, I am told.
Certainly, another big issue in Jackson's child-molestation case and indictment is alcohol. Way back on the day the Jackson story broke in November 2003, this column reported that there would be an accusation of pills and liquor given to the then-13-year-old boy.
Now a source says that the boy and his brother were found by a Jackson employee in the Neverland wine cellar.
"They were pouring Harbor Mist into cups," says my source, who says the inexpensive liqueur, which comes with twist-off caps, was used as a mixer.
I'm told that once this was discovered, the kids were lectured and cut off from entering the room again.
The wine cellar, I am told, is just down a few steps from the Neverland game room, and next to a jukebox. Even though it had a lock, my source claims that one of Jackson's cooks broke it, making the liquor easy to get at.
After the wine cellar was re-locked and the boys were cut off, they are said to have approached the Neverland chef for drinks. Wisely, he refused

Judge Melville, Friday has communicated that the motion of the defense will check 9.7.2004 (WOW!!!) And' accordingly possible that makes to fall All, some or anybody accusation, (sigh!) explained the lawyer Adrian Andrake. The application of these motions is a normal procedure of the defense, that is used for discussing the fact that not enough tests to sustain the accusations there. Probably the weakness and the errors of the Grand Jury will also be understood, that have brought to the incrimination. After the decisions of the judge both the parts can forward an application of control of the decisions to the "2° District Court of Appeal in Ventura.
