Because the courts made the civil suit precede the criminal trial. Denied 6 times to have the criminal trial first he was left with the option of having the prosecution having a front row seat to all his evidence and alibis etc, so all they would need to do to damn him would be to adjust dates and places etc which they actually tried to do in his 05 trial too. They stole the defence file from a room not on the warrant. What would you do? This was an extreme violation of Michael’s constitutional rights and as such, the States has since changed the law so this can never happen to anybody again.For the record, a not guilty man would absolutely Never(land) pay 200 million to silence "alleged" sexual abuse victims.
But your boy Michael Jackson did.
The judge should have balanced what was best for both parties and could have easily have resolved this issue but refused to. He could have either let the Criminal Trial for Jackson’s life go ahead of the civil trial for cash as it is infinitely more important, or at the very least he could have granted Jackson a Stay Motion and a Protection Order On Civil Discovery - problem solved.
Having said that, he didn’t pay anybody a cent, his insurance company did and it wasn’t for the sexual abuse claims as that isn’t allowed under law. All settlements have to be approved by the courts once a compliant has been made.
