Aphrodite Jones uses the court transcripts and photo evidence never before seen by the public to tell the real story behind the salacious headlines -- and what went on inside -- and outside -- Michael Jackson's highly sensationalized 2005 criminal trial. Turns out, inside the courtroom, there was no proof offered of Michael Jackson as a sinister character, and no proof that he committed a single crime. In their efforts to win ratings, Jones proves,the media completely missed the truth. Back then, Jackson was the pop icon everyone loved to hate. Now, with Michael Jackson Conspiracy, he may be restored to the pop icon everyone loves to love.

Incredible Book!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2010

Verified Purchase

This book is a must read! Finally the truth, not misconceptions! Kudos to Aphrodite Jones for her investigative skills and for having the courage to admit she had been wrong in her initial opinion of MJ. I'm trying to understand one thing - why has Amazon deleted the Product Description and the Editorial Review from this book? It was there all summer, now it's gone. I chose to purchase this book based on the product description (and reviews). I feel it should still be listed, and since I had printed it out over the summer, I am going to type it here verbatum:

From the PUBLISHER: "He was the pop icon the media loved to hate. Tremendously wealthy, inarguably eccentric, and one of the most famous people in the world, Michael Jackson was the unenviable target of constant public humiliation. The media poked fun at his skin, his features, his sexuality, and his lifestyle.

Here, seasoned crime reporter Aphrodite Jones condemns the media for perpetuating hateful rumors and innuendoes, recounting just the sordid details, and reporting only the most despicable accusations and grisly charges made against Michael Jackson during his criminal trial. They had built a highly profitable industry around the superstar's "freaky life" and banked on his conviction. And, it turns out, they got it all wrong.

In their efforts to make money and win ratings, the media missed the truth. It wasn't until after the "Not Guilty" verdict that Jones had the insight and courage to admit her own unintentional role in the frenzy surrounding the shocking testimony, high drama, and countless celebrities in Michael Jackson's high-profile criminal trial. Here, she makes amends with what is not only a truthful, well-documented chronicle of the entire trial but a powerful indictment against the media for conspiring to distort, dehumanize, and destroy Michael Jackson. Jones argues convincingly that the case against Jackson amounted to nothing more than a media-made, tax-paid scandal, and she makes an impassioned call to action for the public-at-large to think critically, question the integrity, and demand the truth in "the news"."

"To anyone who wants to learn what happened in the Michael Jackson courtroom, this is the book to read." - Thomas A. Mesereau, Jr., Michael Jackson's lead counsel.

"The media anticipated the legal equivalent of a lynching...To spike ratings, they covered the man, not the evidence...The end result was the further blackballing of Michael Jackson's reputation." - Peter Shaplen, official media pool coordinator, the Michael Jackson trial.

"Aphrodite Jones provides the detail that we never got in the news media and vividly captures the phenomenon that was the Michael Jackson trial. It's a deeply researched, intense account that keeps you anxiously awaiting the next scene." - Roy Black, criminal defense attorney and NBC legal commentator.

So Glad the Truth is Out

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

As much as I have been dying to read books on Michael Jackson, I have been very careful in choosing which book I purchase. I am NOT interested in supporting those authors who claim to have the "scoop" on the truth about MJ. I certainly don't want my mind muddled with false information or personal opinions that have no factual standing, whatsoever, or out-of-context factoids just so these writers can make money at the expense of MJ's reputation. It's just not right. The only other book I purchased was the "Michael Jackson Tapes" by Rabbi Schmuley only because it would be the words of Michael Jackson, himself. Even with that book I was not impressed because Schmuley has to put his two-cents worth into everythig Michael had to say and shroud Michael's words with Schmuley's own opinions and intentions.

Anyway, about this book, "Michael Jackson Conspiracy", I am very glad to have read a book that deals with FACTS. I took a chance and purchased it based on other people's comments, and I say it's worth reading! Personally, I NEVER believed all the crap that has been said about MJ. Even when the Bashir interview aired, right then I said to my husband, I actually believe Michael and completely agree with his views that there's nothing wrong with kids sharing a bed if it's innocent, the way that he described it. In that interview I could truly sense his sincerity and honesty in what he was saying and how he was saying it. This world is so darn hippocritical that we (the media especially) are quick to find fault in others and sensationalize it and take it out of context. I'm sure one could have a field day on the numerous things that we say and do every day that can easily be misconstrued to make us look like criminials when, in fact, we're not. Anyway, that's my opinion, and this book is wonderful in that it describes the numerous innacuracies of the accusers' testimonies, their disagreeable conduct, and so much more, so that for the readers out there who like to base their opinions on facts, this book will certainly lay out for you what the media did NOT and will probably never want you to know!

It disgusts me so very much how the media is like a petri dish that starts as a nasty little bacteria that continues to grow until it's out of control. They purposely and greedily misconstrue issues, don't give you the correct circumstances from which it came, nor do they give you ALL the facts! It sickens me that the media was always waiting breathlessly in court for anything that they could leak out to the public that would make Michael Jackson look bad. This books reveals how they couldn't do that - Thank you Ms. Jones and Mr. Mesereau.

Thanks you for writing this book and giving us a fair and thoughtful view of what actually happened in the trial. As opposed to the circus some channels offered. Michael has been treated so badly in his life by people and it’s very sad.

Un libro che racconta il processo a Michael del 2005 senza i filtri ingannevoli della tv e dei reporters a caccia dello scoop a tutti i costi, a danni di un uomo che ha solo cercato di fare del bene a questo mondo schifoso. L'autrice del libro, presente tutti i giorni nell'aula del tribunale di Santa Maria e un tempo convinta della colpevolezza di Michael, ritorna sui suoi passi ammettendo di aver sbagliato e analizza con lucidità e obiettività i fatti e le prove, riportando le testimonianze contraddittorie degli accusatori.

Setting The Record Straight

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

"The media write weird stuff about me all the time. The distortion of the truth bothers me. I usually don't read a lot of what is printed, although I often hear about". [Moon Walk, Michael Jackson's One and Only Autobiography.]

In this day and age it takes a certain calibre of person to admit they were wrong. It, then, takes an even stronger character and personality to genuinely and earnestly set out to make amends and to set the record straight. This then, is the objective of this admirable, powerful and thought-provoking work by Aphrodite Jones.

From the outset she explains and readily admits she was part of the, then, media "circus" that set out to distort facts and peddle inaccurate information in the, alleged, molestation charges and subsequent court case which confronted Michael Jackson, during 2005. Ample evidence is offered that the media wilfully focused upon negative aspects of the case, in addition to repeatedly distorting or completely failing to accurately report facts of the case, instead of providing fair and balanced reporting in the media.

"Remember, the press is a business: Newspapers and magazines are in business to make money - sometimes at the expense of accuracy, fairness and even the truth". [Moon Walk, Michael Jackson's One and Only Autobiography.] So these, uncannily, prophetic words are printed in Michael Jackson's own autobiography, albeit unintentionally, and not actually in direct connection with either of his court cases. [They had yet to rear their ugly heads at the time the autobiography was, originally, published.]

This is a tome comprehensively and painstakingly researched by Aphrodite Jones, which serves to lay open the truth and the deliberately biased and negative reporting of Michael Jackson, in the media throughout the entire trial.

To acquire the co-operation and assistance of Thomas Mesereau, Michael Jackson's lead counsel was no mean feat, considering that, from the outset; they were very much on `opposite sides of the fence', to such an extent, that Thomas Mesereau, understandably, had a complete aversion to dealing or associating with her. With a degree of persistence, combined with sensitive and delicate negotiations and candid discussion the support of Thomas Mesereau was secured, as he considered she was being truthful, courageous and professional in her desire to set the record straight about the Michael Jackson defence. Thomas Mesereau did, subsequently, write the Foreword to this excellent, investigative book and it made potent reading. I believe, in each of the respective fields of the individuals directly involved, both, in Law and Entertainment, it took a humble, exceptional and quite extraordinary individual - Thomas Mesereau to defend, another humble, exceptional and quite extraordinary individual - Michael Jackson.

This is a tome that contributes considerably to, rightly, reinforcing Michael Jackson being completely exonerated of the charges he faced. In this world, I believe that two of the worst crimes a male can be accused of are, indeed, false child molestation and false rape charges. To be accused, twice, must have been an undoubted, complete and utter living nightmare for Michael Jackson. The content of this book is exceptionally well researched, providing a unique insight into the court processes and is an extremely captivating read but it would not be accurate or, I believe, appropriate to say I "enjoyed" it. The content is too disturbing when considering it was absolutely awful that Michael Jackson should even be accused of such heinous crimes and it is discomforting becoming aware of his inordinate and obvious mental, emotional and physical distress.

Having read this powerful book providing insight and redressing the balance of this controversial court case, there is no element of doubt in my mind that the factors involved could only have served to contribute towards the sad, tragic and early demise of Michael Jackson. The pressure brought to bear and the levels of stress that he must have endured over such a protracted period must have been considerable, to the point of being wholly intolerable and inevitably, taking a physical toll.

Admittedly, it is only conjecture on my part but as the reader what I, personally, feel pained and distressed Michael Jackson the most, in all likelihood, would have been to have children/youths that he had trusted implicitly, collude with adults to so totally and utterly betray that degree of trust.

Michael Jackson was accustomed to being betrayed by adults but he trusted and loved children, in the most honourable sense of the words:

"There are so many things all around us to be thankful for. Wasn't it Robert Frost who wrote about the world a person can see in a leaf? I think that's true. That's what I love about being with kids. They notice everything. They aren't jaded. They get excited by things we've forgotten to get excited about any more. They are so natural too, so unself-conscious. I love being around them. There always seems to be a bunch of kids over at the house and they're always welcome. They energize me - just being around them. They look at everything with such fresh eyes, such open minds. That's part of what makes kids so creative. They don't worry about the rules. The picture doesn't have to be in the center of a piece of paper. The sky doesn't have to be blue. They are accepting of people too. The only demand they make is to be treated fairly - and to be loved. I think that's what we all want". [Moon Walk, Michael Jackson's One and Only Autobiography.]

On a general note, one particular aspect of this book I like is the way Aphrodite Jones chose to incorporate lyrics or song titles from Michael Jackson's songs into the chapter headings.

This review would not be complete if I failed to acknowledge the fans that without hesitation relinquished and sacrificed their positions of employment to offer their support to Michael Jackson for the duration of the trial in their belief and never doubting, even for one second his innocence. I can only have the utmost admiration and respect for that degree of loyalty.

I can, indeed, highly recommend this book for, both, loyal fans and other people interested in Michael Jackson's life. It is certainly worth the investment and can only conclude by expressing heartfelt gratitude to Aphrodite Jones for `standing up for something, as opposed to sitting down for everything', not many people in this day and age have the courage of their convictions, to pursue them with such tenacity, passion, commitment and conviction. Aphrodite Jones rests her case and does it admirably.

Darstellung eines Prozesses, der nie hätte zugelassen werden dürfen

Reviewed in Germany on November 16, 2009

Verified Purchase

Zusatz: März.2011: schon interessant, wie hier jemand innerhalb ein paar Tagen bei den aussagekräftigsten Rezensionen zu diesem Buch jeweils sooft "nicht hilfreich" angeklickt hat, dass derzeit der Schnitt hilfreich/nicht hilfreich bei allen stark runtergeht - vorher hatten alle diese Rezensionen fast ausschließlich die Bewertung "hilfreich" erhalten. Das spricht ja wohl für sich.
Leider hat MJ mit exact solchen feigen und unmoralischen Personen seine Probleme gehabt! Trotzdem: für die erwachsenen, unvoreingenommenen Menschen unter uns lasse ich die Rezension dennoch stehen.

ENTSTEHUNG DES BUCHES
Aphrodite Jones war als Buchautorin im Gerichtssaal und berichtete für FOX allerdings gegen MJ, da sie von seiner Schuld überzeugt war. Zweifel kamen ihr gegen Ende des Prozesses. Nach dem Freispruch erhielt vom Richter Rodney Melville als einzige Journalistin uneingeschränkten Zugang zum Beweismaterial einschließlich aller Scripten und unveröffentlichten Materials.
Sie sprach mit dem Vorsitzenden der Jury Paul Rodriguez (Zitat "MJ war wirklich in allen Punkten unschuldig und eine Zielscheibe")
Sie konnte Tom Mesereau (MJ`s leitender Anwalt) von der Aufrichtigkeit ihres Buchplanes überzeugen und die Tatsache, dass er das Vorwort beisteuerte unterstützt die Glaubwürdigkeit der Inhalte.

ANKLAGE
die Anklage-Inhalte waren: sexuelle Belästigung, Verabreichung von Alkohol an Minderjährige, um sie zu belästigen
Verschwörung und Einsperren von Personen (Mutter und Kinder Arvizo)

AUSGANGSLAGE DER ANKLAGE
Nach der Ausstrahlung der Bashir/Dokumentation in England im Februar 2003 wollte Janet Arvizo Bashir verklagen, weil ihr Sohn Gavin in der Doku ohne ihre Erlaubnis gefilmt worden war. Bezirksstaatsanwalt Sneddon leitete eine Untersuchung ein, der Besuch eines Angestellten der Kinderfürsorge ergab nichts Auffälliges, die Arvizo-Kinder gaben eine beglaubigte Stellungnahme ab, dass nichts Verwerfliches von Michael Jackson getan wurde.
Janet Arvizo's Anwalt, derselbe wie der von Jordan Chandler 1993 (der auch denselben Psychologen einschaltete) vertrat die Familie plötzlich mit ganz veränderten Anklagepunkten:
Michael Jackson habe die Familie gezwungen, zur Gegendarstellung ein Video zu filmen
er habe sie gezwungen nach Miami zu kommen und sie dort der Freiheit beraubt
er habe sie auf Neverland festhalten lassen
er habe JETZT begonnen, Gavin sexuell zu belästigen

ZWEIFEL
während der Zeit nach der Bashir-Ausstrahlung, als alle um MJ herum versuchten, eine Lösung für die Beschädigung seines Ansehens zu finden und die Famile gefangengenommen worden sein soll, um weiteren Schaden zu verhindern, soll Michael Jackson begonnen haben, Gavin sexuell zu mißbrauchen (?)
Eine andere Zeitlinie konnte aufgrund der vorherigen eidesstattlichen Aussagen der Kinder nach der Bashir-Doku nicht mehr verwendet werden.

Strauchelt man jetzt als Leser vielleicht ein wenig mit der Frage der Glaubwürdigkeit der Anklage, wird es eventuell noch schwieriger nach Kennlernen der Arvizo-Vorgeschichte:
- Klage auf 150 000 Dollar Entschädigung: nach Ladendiebstahl und Festnahme durch das Supermarkt-Sicherheitsteams angebl. Brutalität ggü. Janet Arvizo (fragwürdige, widersprüchliche Beweisfotos) 2 JAHRE SPÄTER Vorwurf der sexuellen Belästigung hinzugefügt - Klage hatte Erfolg, es gab einen Vergleich
- trotz hoher Entschädigungssumme gleichzeitig von der Wohlfahrt Sozialhilfe bezogen (2006 dafür von einem Gericht wegen Betruges verurteilt)
- Mehrere prominente Persönlichkeiten (u.a. Chris Tucker) dazu veranlasst, Spenden zu geben oder einzutreiben für die Behandlung des krebskranken Jungen, obwohl, wie sich später herausstellte, die Behandlung über die Versicherung des Vaters abgedeckt war
- nachweisliche Falschaussage der Kinder unter Eid während des Supermarkt-Falles

Aussagen verschiedener Zeugen widerlegen die Verschwörungs- und Kidnapping-Theorie: nachweislich war die Familie Arvizo während der gleichen Zeit auf Kosten M.J's Kaufhäusern, beim Zahnarzt und bei kosmetischen Behandlungen unterwegs und wurde in MJ's Rolls Royce herumgefahren....

BUCHINHALT:
Aphrodite Jones konzentriert sich auf die Widerlegung der Zeugen, die für die Anklagen aufgetreten waren. Sicher handelt es sich nicht um vollständiges Material, das ja allein schon bei Gericht 1900 Seiten umfasste. Sie gibt zahlreiche Hinweise auf die Strategie des leitenden Anwaltes Tom Mesereau, einfach faszinierend wie geradlining, klar denkend, moralisch einwandfrei, kein bißchen auf Rampenlicht aus dieser war und er immer den Freispruch seines Mandanten als Ziel im Auge hatte.
A. Jones zeigt auch die Rahmenbedingungen des Prozesses, den absichtlich negativen Umgang der Medien, deren Wahrheitsverschleierung, Sensations- und Profitgier. Da sie selbst Teil davon gewesen war, sei ihr aus Gründen der Schuldaufarbeitung eine pro-Jackson Haltung verziehen.
Hervorzuheben ist auch die Beschreibung über MJ`s Verhalten,seine beobachteten Reaktionen auf Zeugenaussagen, die nicht nur von A.Jones interpretiert wurden.
Sehr viel Information über Neverland und über alle Abläufe dort, erstaunliche Inhalte, die viele Rückschlüsse auf den Menschen Michael Jackson zulassen.
Beweisfotos und Fotos von wichtigen Personen, die mit dem Prozess zu tun haben.
Information über Bashir, der 3x angeklagt wurde wegen verschiedener kritischer Punkte in seiner Art der Berichterstattung usw.....

SPRACHE:
das Buch lässt sich flüssig lesen, keine langen Passagen, die aufhalten, langweilig wären o.ä. Bei mir lief natürlich ein Übersetzungsprogramm nebenher, da mir etliche Vokabeln nicht präsent waren. In 1 Woche hatte ich das Buch mit knapp 300 Seiten gelesen.

SSCHLUSSFOLGERUNG:
Eine Offenbarung einerseits, gleichzeitig aber sehr traurig und erschütternd. Zusätzlich sei gesagt, dass ich vor Lesen dieses Buches auf der Internetseite von contact-music com alle archivierten Beiträge zum Prozess gelesen habe. Diese noch ziemlich gemäßigte Informationsquelle bestätigt die Zusammenhänge und Abläufe in A.Jones` Buch und beweist gleichzeitig die voreingenommene Verarbeitung der Presse.
Wenn man wirklich fähig sein will, ein statement über MJ abzugeben, sollte man dieses Buch gelesen haben.

EMPFEHLUNGEN:
DVD (oder auf you tube die entsprechenden Sequenzen suchen):
"The untold story of Neverland" von Larry Nimmer
darauf sind
- Interviews mit Tom Mesereau, Paul Rodriguez (Vorsitzender der Jury), Aphrodite Jones
- Neverland wurde gefilmt, da Larry Nimmer ungehinderten Zugang hatte, auch im Haupthaus
- outtake des rebuttalvideos der Familie Arvizo, da unter Zwang gedreht sein soll und bei dem die Familie offensichtlich viel Spaß hatte und in einer Sequenz deultich gemacht wird, dass es keine sexuelle Belästigung und keinen Zwang gab
- Interview von Gavin Arvizo mit der Polizei vor der Verhandlung mit manipulativem Verhalten des Polizisten und unglaubwürdigen Aussagen von Gavin, diese Punkte führten u.a.auch zum Freispruch von MJ

Folgendes Buch beschreibt die Anschuldigungen 1993:
