THE MOST TERRIFYING MICHAEL JACKSON MOMENT THE LAWYER HANDED HIM HIS OWN NOTES... march 1, 1996. michael jackson is 37. he's under oath in a lawsuit, and a camera is rolling. the lawyer slides two handwritten pages across the table. michael reads them and says it's his handwriting. deposition = you answer a lawyer's questions under oath, on camera, before the trial. anything you say can be played to a jury. what's on his list: → 0:09 "yes, it's mine" → 0:26 things he wanted to set straight in a tv interview → 0:35 the interview was with diane sawyer → 0:43 "people have lied on me" → 0:48 the bleached skin rumor → 1:01 a rumor about president clinton's inauguration → 1:07 "don't judge a person unless you walk a mile in their shoes" → 1:26 "jesus said to love the children" → 2:04 "people completely lie on me" what actually got me is that he wrote it down. the most famous man on earth sat at home and made a list of what people said about him. i rewatched 1:26 three times. he's quoting the bible to a lawyer. he looks like he means every word. he was never convicted of anything. in 2005 a jury found him not guilty on all 10 counts. but the list didn't get shorter. it got longer every year until 2009. the scariest part isn't the rumors. it's a man who had to keep a written list of them.
