MICHAEL JACKSON CONSPIRACY

Chandler Bombshell
 

From Aphrodite Jones's research files of the Michael Jackson Trial, used to support her new book, Michael Jackson Conspiracy, here are excerpts from a transcript of a recorded conversation between Anthony Pellicano, a private investigator for Michael Jackson, and Jim Mitteager, a Globe reporter.

With this exclusive look at never-before published information about the 1993 Chandler allegation, Jones challenges us to rethink the entire media case against Michael Jackson.

THIS IS AN EXACT REPLICA OF A TRANSCRIPT HANDED TO APHRODITE JONES BY PAUL BARRESI, A PRIVATE DETECTIVE, WHO STILL HAS RECORDINGS BETWEEN ANTHONY PELLICANO AND JIM MITTEAGER. 

NOTE:  PORTIONS OF THESE TRANSCRIPTS WERE HANDED OVER TO THE FBI AND MAY BE USED IN THE UPCOMING FEDERAL CASE AGAINST PELLICANO, WHO IS CHARGED WITH, AMONG OTHER THINGS, ILLEGAL WIRETAPPING.

TRANSCRIPT

September 1994

PELLICANO:  You have to understand something. I have nine kids.  Michael [Jackson] plays with my baby.  They crawl all over him.  They pull his hair.  They pull his nose.  Sometimes he wears a bandage across his face.  If I let my own kids (unintelligible) do you think there’s a chance?

MITTEAGER:  Well, all things being equal, I would say, no.

PELLICANO:  Not only that.  If you sat this kid [Jordie Chandler] down like I did, as a matter of fact, he couldn’t wait to get up and go play video games.  I said, “you don’t understand how serious this is.  Your dad [Evan Chandler] is going to accuse Michael of sexual molestation.  He going to say all kinds of stuff.”  He [Jordie] says, “Yeah, my dad’s trying to get money.”  As a matter of fact, I (unintelligible) for 45 minutes.  Then I tried tricking him.  I mean, I want you to know, I’m a vegetarian.  I picked this kid with a fine tooth comb.  So we’re there (unintelligible) with this kid... and If you sat down and talked to this kid, there wouldn’t be any doubt in your mind either.  And I said Michael is all upset.  We went over and over.  I tried to get him to sit down and he wants to play video games while I’m sitting there.  I’m sitting there with the kid’s mother [June Chandler] and David Swartrz walks in and (unintelligible) what’s this all about?  And [Barry] Rothman (unintelligible) asking questions.  There is no question that Rothman (unintelligible) what this is all about.”

Note:  Attorney Barry Rothman (representing the Chandler clan) was later accused by Michael Jackson’s attorneys of unethical conduct regarding Jackson.  Barry Rothman was not charged with anything.

Bombshell:  In the 2005 case against Michael Jackson, when June Chandler was cross examined on the witness stand in Santa Maria, June admitted that she’d met with Anthony Pellicano “three or four times” but had no recollection of what went on during those meetings.  Tom Mesereau asked Mrs. Chandler if she recalled telling Pellicano that “Evan wanted money.”  Mesereau also asked Mrs. Chandler if she’d ever told Pellicano that “Evan’s concerns could only be about money.”  Of course, June Chandler didn’t recall making either statement.
