Michael Jackson Defense Team Rest Their Case
26th May 2005
Michael Jackson’s lawyers rested their defense on Wednesday after comedian Chris Tucker described the mother at the center of the child molestation case as “possessed” and said he warned the pop star about her months before sex abuse accusations surfaced.
“Your Honor, the defense rests,” lead Jackson attorney Tom Mesereau told the judge after calling 50 witnesses over 15 days intended to cast doubt on the motives and background of the young accuser and his family.
Jackson did not testify and despite a star-studded witness list that once included more than 300 people — including film legend Elizabeth Taylor and basketball star Kobe Bryant — the defense sharply curtailed its case over the past two weeks.
