manner of pursuit to protect innocent parties from being
framed or railroaded into being charged with offenses they
did not commit. This case was unfortunate to me because when
it came to the investigation of extortion, Mr. Garcetti's office
did not provide that same manner of pursuit to Michael Jack-
son as it did for Dr. Chandler. Obvious facts were overlooked-
I was an employee of Mr. Rothman's office and no one from
Mr. Garcetti's office subpoenaed me to investigate the extor-
tion charge.
Not being able to indict Michael Jackson after such a heated
pursuit was an embarrassment to the District Attorney's of-
fice. It appeared to many as if Mr. Garcetti was waging a per-
sonal vendetta against Michael Jackson. The District Attorney's
office spent millions of tax payers dollars trying to indict him
of the charge of child abuse. This reminds me of the O.J.
Simpson case, and while I have your attention, I might as well
insert my theory on that case. I contend that there are only
TWO people who know whether O.J. Simpson did or did not
kill his wife and Rod Goldman; O.J. and God. All others are
merely guessing. That is another case that I firmly believe was
not given enough critical thinking or equal analogy for the pos-
sibility of innocence or being framed.
The child abuse charges against Michael Jackson were never
formally closed. Instead of closing the case after a failure to
come up with enough credible evidence to indict Michael Jack-
son, Mr. Garcetti simply stated that the investigation would
remain open until the six year statute of limitation ran out.
