And the Nominees Are...
Defense attorneys in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial have announced a list of potential defense witnesses and one of those individuals listed is a certain superstar shooting guard for your Los Angeles Lakers. That's right, the Lakers' Number 8 could soon become The King of Pop's Witness Number 8.
Let me get this straight...in order to defend the character of a man accused of sexual abuse, his attorneys intend to call a witness who within the last year has been charged with sexual misconduct himself? I'm no lawyer, but that seems like a poor choice. Despite having the charges dropped before ever seeing trial, something tells me his credibility might not hold much water under cross examination. Maybe I'm just being cynical.
