This is how much of a liar prosecutor Tom Sneddon was. In September 1994 he and LA District Attorney, Gil Garcetti announced that they closed the criminal investigation in the Chandler matter due to the fact that Jordan wasn't willing to testify. Cont.

Gil Garcetti was fair in stating that MJ has the right to the presumption of innocence.

However, Sneddon was mad and in his feelings about the loss. So at the press conference he threw in that there were "two other victims" - without naming them, but by now we know who these supposed "victims" were.

The one who "was in therapy" was Jason Francia. The boy who was basically told by Sneddon's people what to allege about Michael Jackson. His police interview was the textbook improper interrogation of a child. In 2005 the jury did not find him credible.

The other alleged "victim" who was "out of the country" was Brett Barnes. A boy who never claimed to be a victim. Yet, Sneddon threw this in, in this deceptive way to make the impression that there were more accusers.

Although he admitted that this "victim" made a "general denial of wrongdoing" by MJ, but he still used him to boost his number of "victims". He did this in 2005 as well. Called people "victims" who themselves denied being victims.

The absurdity of it is well shown in Macaulay Culkin's 2005 testimony where he said that the prosecution calls him a "victim" without even talking to him about whether he claims to be a "victim". He learnt from TV that he was supposedly a "victim".

So this is how absolutely hell-bent and biased this prosecution and specifically Sneddon was. It didn't even matter if the alleged victim himself said that they weren't a victim.

Now, think about it: this is the guy whose words the World blindly trusts when he falsely claims that Jordan's description was a match!
