THREAD: A breakdown of the "compendium of evidence" Finaldi just submitted (in person, claiming it is "too large to electronically file" 😁) in hopes of preventing the summary judgment in Wade's case.
I've previously shared most of these materials in older threads, not much new.
I've previously shared most of these materials in older threads, not much new.
Finaldi has filed 51 exhibits as part of his arguments.
As I foreshadowed, he's lodged 1000s of pages of largely innocuous & irrelevant materials w/ a few "points" underlined in each of them.
But lugging in totes full of "evidence" against MJ makes compelling footage, I'm sure.

Exhibit 1 - John Branca Deposition (October 18, 2017)
I previously shared this full deposition, here:
John Branca is 100% supportive of MJ and offers nothing supportive for Finaldi. Finaldi establishes Branca held business meetings w/ MJ on occasion lol.

Exhibit 2 - Gary Hearne Deposition (September 2, 2016)
100% supportive of MJ, believes Wade/James are lying and shed light on the Chandlers, claiming narcissist Evan would lie about anything.

Exhibit 3 - Charli Michaels Depo (Dec. 19, 2016)
Charli collected $35k from Hard Copy & spread stories that even post-2012 Joy denied were true. But Wade still included them in his lawsuit anyway.
In 2016, she 2nd guessed her tabloid truths.

Exhibit 4 - A copy of MJJ Productions Employee Handbook.
This was used in various depos by Finaldi in very roundabout efforts to depict Norma/businesses as responsible since it doesn't have clauses specific to CSA in it or mandatory reporting.

Exhibit 5 - Blanca Francia Depo (Sept. 6, 2016)
One of 2 days Blanca was deposed. Her story of seeing Wade in shower predates his 1st visit 😂. In depo she admits to police pressure & swore 6 times under oath in 94 + 2005 she saw and heard nothing but MJ. $20k from Hard Copy.

Exhibit 7 - Leroy Thomas Depo (August 21, 2017)
From the Hayvenhurst 5 - Maury Povich & $20k for Hard Copy tabloid fame.
Claimed he once tore up a nude boy photo at MJ's request (years before Chandler allegations), couldn't pass a Maury lie detector but did promote a tell-all.

Old friend of Blanca who helped with the Hard Copy arrangement in 93-94.

Exhibit 10 - Confidentiality agreement issued by Norma to Leroy Thomas, similar to all employees that were hired by MJ (or any high-profile celebrity for that matter).

Exhibit 11 - Mary Coller Depo (Sept. 19, 2017)
She barely remembered Safechuck but mentioned him as a guest as MJ's when police interviewed her in the 1990s.
She never met Wade and wasn't aware that MJ was communicating with him.
Never saw anything questionable with MJ & kids.

Exhibit 13 - George Niall Depo (Oct. 23, 2017)
Former chef, 100% supportive of MJ and never saw anything improper.
He recalls kids were mostly accompanied by parents, adults, members of church, etc.

Exhibit 14 - Evvy Tavasci Depo (Sept. 14, 2017)
She recalled James and his parents going to ranch and she would make arrangements for that, but that MJ was hardly ever there.
Like man witnesses, Finaldi's only offering from her is she performed many duties & signed NDA to work.
