@IAmBrettBarnes A full 10 months after the Chandler investigation began—in the very final month of the last extended grand jury—Sneddon was so desperate to still conjure any actual evidence or victim that he (& Weis, Birchim, Monk, Hodgman) traveled in secret to AU just hoping Brett would turn.
The level of depravity by Sneddon at 05 trial transcends any other criminal trial.
Rather than calling Brett (and Mac) to the stand to clarify their stance, he relied only on a tabloid cesspool to pretend Brett was a victim. Same witnesses declared worthless in 1994 by Garcetti.
The same reason Sneddon refused to call Brett/Mac to the stand during their case in 05 is why Dan refused to approach them for commentary in his secretive propaganda piece by two 11-time civil litigants.
Brett's answers are not in the interest of those vested in MJ being guilty.

The estate filed a 70-page reply to Finaldi's brief.
Remember, this is an appellate matter so their arguments are purely procedural as matter of law (taking allegations at face value), to explain why court was correct to dismiss.
As a refresher, James' 3rd amended suit against MJJ Productions & MJJ Ventures sought compensation for 6 causes of action.
Oct. 2020: Judge found none of the causes were viable. Finaldi failed to convince that it could be remedied. All 6 were dismissed on demurrer.
JS appealed.
The estate describes Safechuck's arguments as "liability theories [that] stretch the cases & governing legal principles far beyond their breaking point."
They go on to explain that his theories, "if adopted, would have far-reaching, unpredictable and impractical results."
I'll always remind people how Kimmel hired an actor to pretend he was a delusional MJ fan from 2004-05 to appear at all the court events, unbeknownst to the media who were happy to showcase this "fan."
Associated Press also ran this fake character's photo for stories on June 13.
So a lot of the falsified media persona of fans being blinded by stardom and uncaring if MJ was actually an abuser or not stems directly from stunts like this, where stooge "fans" blend in with real ones and become the highlights of what the media wants to depict "fandom" as.
Jimmy Kimmel also was honored to star as Jay Leno for the trial reenactments.
Both of them did everything from 03-05 to attempt tainting of the jury pool & stirring malice against MJ.
Even while Leno knew that the Arvizos were making it up as they tried to do similar to him.
THREAD: Estate's Reply to Finaldi's Opposition of Case Reimbursement Costs
Context: In June the estate filed a memorandum of costs seeking up to $112,960 reimbursement from Finaldi after Wade's case was tossed.
Finaldi objected to many of the expenses, the estate has responded.
The estate argues "Robson's motion to tax costs is w/out merit."
The court's prior ruling that knocked some costs off the total was made by a temporary judge sitting in for Beckloff, and is not a binding order.
They note how Wade's last appeal was only successful due to AB-218.
It is Finaldi's burden to prove that the listed costs were unreasonable, excessive or not properly chargeable.
The estate contents that with the possible exception of Wade's IM all other contested claims were clearly and expressly authorized by statute & should be reimbursable.
2004, after Janet's police interview clips leak to the media: " What we have today is a judicial process that doesn't protect victims when they make charges against superstars."
1993: AP directly names Feldman as leaker of Jordan's affidavit.
Yes, the same Larry Feldman who cried "the privacy of the accuser has already been violated" about Arvizos, was the one who directly violated the privacy of Jordan in 1993 by leaking the most confidential and personal details of his allegations to the massively syndicated AP.
In fact, the clips of Janet Arvizo's police interview were leaked by a pro-Arvizo source to The Insider tabloid, and came with sympathetic commentary depicting her as a fearful mom afraid of MJ's people.
Mesereau strongly opposed those leaks but couldn't even respond to them.
THREAD: Here is a run-down of Safechuck's attempted arguments in the latest appeal.
Finaldi's team filed a late 71-page opening brief alleging that "the trial court AGAIN wrongfully dismissed the action."
This is in reference to JS' full case—6 causes—being dismissed last Oct.
Sidenote to Dan and all guilters who still attempt to half-heartedly defend James' impossible train station abuse lie as "the date they have wrong is the end of the abuse."
Just as with JS' affidavit and all briefs, the appellate opens by confirming "until age of 14 in 1992."
The opening remarks aren't too dissimilar from his 2018 appeal. Again tossing in as many graphic keywords while entirely misrepresenting the court's very detailed explanation for total dismissal.
"the court held that the pedophile was simply too powerful to be controlled..." 🤦
The guilter proof (from latest incarnation of the troll who blocks & stalks) that MJ was investigated prior to 93, comes not from a pre-93 filing but from the word of Hard Copy favorite Charles Mathews—Dec. '93, while representing the Hayvenhurst 5 in their tossed lawsuit.
😆🤣
The same attorney who alleged MJ's mafia broke into his office to snap photos of case files.
Then cried attempted murder after a random motorcycle accident.
Judge found he used injuries to avoid pretrial hearings & delay proceedings, yet still made time to appear on Hard Copy!
Giving Finaldi a run for his money in the realm of tabloid lawyering, Mathews was also heavily sanctioned by the judge.
This included a $24k fine for repeatedly seeking publicity, including paid appearances on Hard Copy w/ clients, while delaying & ditching matters in the court.
