Weird: Michael Jackson
Really weird: Michael Jackson paying someone to kidnap the boy who accused him of child molestation.
Really, really weird: Michael Jackson paying Marlon Brando’s son to kidnap the boy who accused him of child molestation.
A son of late acting legend Marlon Brando was implicated in an alleged plot by Michael Jackson to kidnap the boy who accused him of child molestation, a court heard.The bombshell was dropped during a pre-trial hearing in Jackson’s child molestation case when prosecutors revealed they had recently discovered documents linking Miko Brando with the alleged crime.
Brando, 44, the son of the Oscar-winning movie giant, works as a security guard for the “King of Pop” and received a 20,000-dollar petty cash payment from Jackson, prosecutor Ronald Zonen told Judge Rodney Melville.A record of the alleged December 2003 transaction was discovered in documents seized in a search of the home of Jackson’s personal assistant, the court heard.—-While details of the indictment remain secret under a strict gag order in the case, the charges are thought to involve an alleged plot to abduct Jackson’s young accuser, his younger brother and the boys’ mother.But Jackson lawyer Robert Sanger, arguing that the financial record should not be seen by Jackson’s trial jury, said the payment proved nothing.“There is nothing unusual with someone like Michael Jackson, with such a large operation like Neverland, to have 20,000 dollars in cash delivered to them for the purpose of running their daily affairs,” Sanger said.
I never thought I would hear the words “nothing unusual” and “Michael Jackson” uttered in the same sentence.
