the judge in the case has allowed past allegations to be brought into this trial for discussion. it doesn't mean game over for the defense. i'm hoping that Michael can clear all that old stuff once and for all and expose tom sneddon and these money hungry people for who they really are.. evil

abcnews/AP reports- Judge Allows Past Jackson Allegations By TIM MOLLOY Associated Press Writer The Associated Press SANTA MARIA, Calif. Mar 28, 2005 — The judge in Michael Jackson's child molestation trial ruled Monday that the prosecution may present testimony about past allegations against the pop star involving five boys, including two who reached multimillion-dollar civil settlements with the singer. Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville ruled after hearing arguments by District Attorney Tom Sneddon and vigorous opposition by defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. The judge said he would allow testimony about alleged sexual offenses and an alleged pattern of "grooming," or preparing the boys for molestation. The prosecution had sought to introduce testimony about seven boys, but the judge declined to allow evidence about two. The judge said he would allow testimony by a 1990 accuser who received a $2.4 million settlement from Jackson and testimony by that boy's mother. A boy who reached a multimillion-dollar settlement from Jackson in 1993 will not testify. Other testimony will be allowed from people who allegedly have knowledge of the case. The judge said the jury can be told that Jackson reached settlements with the 1990 and 1993 accusers but may not be told the amounts, unless the defense brings them up. abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/LegalCenter/wireStory?id=619919
