Instead of returning his 13-year old son to his former wife,
pursuant to the court order, Dr. Chandler rushed his son to
the psychiatrist where the child molestation allegations were
made. This tactic of Dr. Chandler's was completely overlooked
and unmentioned by millions of experts, Americans, tabloids,
and the news media around the world. Why didn't anyone
notice the timing of these two events as a possible clue that,
taking the boy to a psychiatrist was all a part of the plan that
Dr. Chandler had made previously referenced?
Although the reporting of the child abuse allegation was
of greater concern to Mr. Rothman and Dr. Chandler, they did
not count on June Schwartz's attorney filing the Ex Parte pa-
pers requesting the immediate return of her son. This Ex Parte
hearing required them to show up in court within 24 hours of
receiving notice of the hearing, and, having an explanation as
to why her motion should not be granted. Every diabolical
scheme has a quirk in it. Well, I believe this was the quirk in
Dr. Chandler's and Mr. Rothman's plan. June Schwartz had
just thrown a wrench in her former husband's and Mr.
Rothman's supposed perfect plan. They had to think quickly
to counter the unexpected flaw to get back on track. They had
to come up with a counter move that would offset hers. Be-
cause an Ex Parte hearing requires the case to be heard on short-
ened notice to the parties involved, it does not give the oppos-
ing party much time to figure out their rebuttal.
On August 23, 1993, I was watching TV in the conference
room while on break at Mr. Rothman's office. There was a spe-
cial news break referring to Michael Jackson. That's when I,
and the entire world, learned of the child molestation allega-
tions that had been made against Michael Jackson. I am sure
that from the world's point of view this news report came as a
complete shock. I was shocked for a different reason. I knew
instantly while watching the news report that the child abuse
allegation against Michael Jackson was false. I had no doubt
whatsoever of Michael Jackson's innocence from the very be-
ginning of this ordeal.
