The 20 Million
Dollar Demand
Dr. Chandler first brought his accusations of child moles-
tation to his ex-wife, June Schwartz, at a school function in
June of 1993. She reportedly didn't want to hear it. June thought
very highly of Michael Jackson and thought he was a very kind
person.
Dr. Chandler also discussed his plans with Dave Schwartz
in a conversation that was secretly recorded by Mr. Schwartz.
Dr. Chandler admitted to Mr. Schwartz that he had been "re-
hearsed about what to say" and as mentioned earlier, that
"there were other people involved that are waiting for my
phone call that are in certain positions... everything's going
according to a certain plan that isn't just mine." Dr. Chandler
admitted to Mr. Schwartz that, "if I don't get what I want, it
will be a massacre." It was also in this telephone conversation
that Dr. Chandler admitted that, "everything was going ac-
cording to a certain plan," - "that isn't just mine."
During this time, Mr. Rothman and Dr. Chandler talked
on the phone at least 3 to 5 times per day. Dr. Chandler did not
come to the office very often at this point, but called constantly.
Mr. Rothman always took Dr. Chandler's call behind closed
doors. I thought it odd that after their many conversations there
were never any memos to file, nothing memorializing or reit-
erating their many conversations.
