THREAD: In Leaving Neverland, clips of 3 jurors are excerpted to imply they acquitted MJ only because of their dislike for the mom.

LN features Cook & Hultman, the two jurors who immediately planned a book (feat. Stacy Brown) and were told sensationalism and scandal sold more.

In reality, Janet Arvizo's lies and misconduct played no role in the jury's decision to acquit, as made clear by the complete juror interviews.

The jurors—including the flip-flop would-be authors—explained they carefully assessed Gavin's claims, testimony & sheriff's interview.

The day after the verdict, Ray Hultman and Eleanor Cook appeared on different anti-MJ networks to conduct interviews.

Ray Hultman was interviewed by Diane Dimond and Eleanor Cook was interviewed by Howard Stern. The questions asked of each were loaded & critical of the verdict.

Ray Hultman described how careful they were to review Gavin's testimony:

"We sat for at least half a day to identify [all] the lies that the accuser had told on witness stand."

He explained their primary concern was "the lies of the young boy, he's the accuser," not his mother.

At another point, Ray emphasized the bizarre timing of the allegations, including how the Arvizos 1st met w/ high profile civil attorneys/psychologist before contacting police.

Adding to that, Ray noted how the kids wanted to be actors and have seen attorneys before (JCP), etc.

On Howard Stern's pro-guilt radio show, Eleanor explained to him (day after the verdict) how EVERY state witness backfired:

COOK: "They [state] would just get so far and then it'd backfire on them."

Q: So ALL the witnesses just blew up?

COOK: That's exactly how I viewed it.

Eleanor Cook went on to explain that they took many votes during deliberations, and for the couple of instances where there were doubts at all:

"But we looked at the EVIDENCE. We had the EVIDENCE at our disposal. We viewed the EVIDENCE & had to go w/ the EVIDENCE." #MJInnocent

Dispelling any myths that there were arguments, forced verdicts or undue pressure by either side during the jury deliberations, Ray explained:

"We tried to be democratic about it and allow each other to speak. We didn't make any enemies in there, it was a cooperative effort."

The 9 jurors not shown in Leaving Neverland as well as the alternate jurors collectively agreed—in their first June 13th media interview—that every single piece of evidence and witness testimony was weighed individually and considered.

The verdict was the culmination of it all.

2 months after verdict, the Cook & Ray began a small media tour in promotion of a planned guilt-based book and movie deal. This was spearheaded by Stacy Brown (who, as shown in court & via Bob Jones' testimony, encouraged falsehoods for $). Even CourtTV was aghast by the conduct.

Soon thereafter, Ray sued his agent and Stacy Brown, demanding to be released from the book contract while also seeking "damages for mental and emotional stress."

Part of the lawsuit related to Stacy Brown's reported plagiarism of a Maureen Orth's MJ hit piece from Vanity Fair.

After the $-driven flip by Eleanor & Ray, other jurors once again contradicted their newfound claims of the case & so-called jury misconduct/threats:

"They all had their right to stand their ground and stand up for what they believed in."
