Joy's 94 GJ testimony decimates the post-2012 claims.

- Whole family went on Grand Canyon tour.
- 1st trip was preplanned 1 month regardless of MJ/NL.
- Contact w/ MJ only spawned by Joy (and dad) calling to get his info.
- L.A. Gear paid/arranged next visit, not MJ/companies.

To add:

- MJ's visa sponsorship specific to Wade had "no money associated with it whatsoever." Wade did not actually work for MJ.
- It was Joy's hope to stay in US, not MJ's. (She told 90s media MJ said "follow your heart." Now pretends MJ pressured them and tore family apart.)

- Joy's "employment" with MJJ Productions was as a conduit for sponsorship. She had NO contract with MJJP or actual work duties there. Her real job at Pigment's Cosmetics would send her paychecks to MJJ Productions, to redistribute. So that money was from external job, not MJJP.

Imagine being a self-described journalist in 2025 (@mulkerrins) writing paragraphs about James' "mental tour" through the "sex" he says he had daily at iconic locations around NL.

Without acknowledging the aforementioned train station never existed in his abuse timeline—at all.

In another paragraph the author even acknowledges, per James, "the abuse tailed off as Safechuck reached his teens."

This is consistent with his 4 versions of lawsuits where he has their "relationship" tapering off by 1990. Three years before the station began construction.

The author doesn't bother to ask James about this discrepancy, which the filmmaker himself attempted to defend as getting "the end of the abuse" wrong.

This was before Dan had evidently read James' years of lawsuits and contradicts LN's own timeline that places it prior to 1990.

Today in 04, MJ's defense filed a motion calling out Melville's factual errors in refusing to reduce MJ's egregious $3M bail.

The county max for comparable charges was $435K.

Sneddon: "MJ is no ordinary defendant & the bail schedule does not apply to him."

"Celebrity justice."

In the ruling, Melville baselessly suggested MJ had plans to travel to Brazil after sending the Arvizo family there (via hot air balloon?)

Except MJ had no involvement in any of those conversations, nor did he plan to go there.

Melville quoted non-existent remarks in decision.

Further, Melville leveraged the Chandler and Francia civil settlements based on 10+ yr. old allegations that never spawned any criminal charges after grand juries, 400 witnesses and millions of tax-payer expended travels to find any "victims."

Melville never did reduce the bond.

Summary of the motions last week:

GRANTED: Motion to quash subpoenas seeking body photos etc. This was the most important defense motion.

DENIED: Motion to enforce professional conduct by plaintiffs.

POSTPONED UNTIL OCT. 22 2024: Trial readiness & complex case considerations.

RE: Subpoenas

Judge Whitaker noted the prior unsuccessful requests made by Wade/James in 2014-18.

"To the extent Plaintiffs wished to seek relief from that order, they have not done so...subpoenas directly violate that order."

The one exception being the new request to SBCSO.

RE: Subpoenas

But the SBCSO subpoenas—the only new aspect introduced with Carpenter's latest requests—would still require a notice to affected consumers (including MJ's estate) and this was not done.

Therefore, these subpoena requests are included in quashing all four sets. 👍

The Wade/James court hearing tomorrow centers on three agenda items:

1. Trial readiness and tentative scheduling

2. Motion to enforce professional conduct by Wade's attorney(s)

3. Motion to quash four subpoenas to LAPD/SBSO/LADA/SBDA

The context behind each is as follows:

RE: Trial Readiness

The defense proposed a trial date of August 17, 2026 to allow 18 months for discovery, depositions, other calendar commitments and pre-trial motions. The plaintiffs did not object.

If honored, both sides will have until fall 2025 to finish major prep work.

Earlier this year, the media claimed the estate was delaying due to the biopic and to "silence" WR/JS and that Carpenter wanted a trial by April '25.

But in legal filings Carpenter agreed with the defense that discovery "is in infancy" and a 2026 trial date is fully reasonable.

From the original 11-page handwritten memo of Jordan's allegations, sold to the media in '93.

"Jordan stated he & Evan met with MJ & attorneys, and confronted him with ALLEGATIONS in AN EFFORT TO MAKE A SETTLEMENT and AVOID A COURT HEARING."

They never wanted court of any kind.

This is the same meeting detailed in Ray/Evan's book, where they outright admit to demanding $20M and how, had MJ just paid Evan it, he could've remained unscathed.

Instead, MJ staunchly refused any such demand including Evan's subsequent $1M pleading he sought later that month.

On August 5, 1993 following the failed meeting:

"I would like you to continue to negotiate...if those negotiations are not successful then as your client I am instructing you to file a complaint against MJ"

(By that, Evan meant filing a CIVIL case against MJ to allege such 💰.)
