I was originally going to blog about my day at Olongapo, Subic. My baby cousin, Tristan Joey, was baptized there today. I congratulate him and all, and I do hope he grows up to be a good person. But something else caught my eye this evening, and I have to write about it.
I was shocked to find out Evan Chandler, the man who accused Michael Jackson of molesting his son, Jordan, committed suicide two weeks ago. o_O I encourage you to read everything posted there, because I know a lot of people doubt MJ's innocence and want hard evidence. There you have it.
There are some important things you ought to know, just in case you're too lazy to read the whole article.
- Evan was the one who accused Michael, not Jordan.
- Evan asked Michael to negotiate 3 scriptwriting deals for him. If Michael declined, Evan would accuse him of molesting Jordan. (To be frank: that was blackmail).
- For several months, Jordan insisted Michael never touched him inappropriately.
- Jordan only claimed that Michael molested him after Evan drugged him with sodium amytal (which enduces false memory syndrome).
- Michael's insurance carrier paid the Chandlers a settlement, even though Michael was against this.
- Accepting the payment wouldn't have stopped Chandler from testifying for the case. So why didn't he do so? Because he was only after the money.
Michael was the victim.
