Brother challenged over Jackson case evidence

THE brother of Michael Jackson’s accuser was yesterday confronted by the singer’s lawyer with a statement he made to investigators showing he gave a different account of the alleged incidents than the one he told to jurors.

Star Arvizo, 14, testified this week that he twice saw his brother being molested by Jackson, both times by walking up stairs into the star’s bedroom in the master bedroom suite at the singer’s Neverland ranch.

Defence lawyer Thomas Mesereau produced an interview Star gave to sheriff’s deputies in which he said he was lying on a couch pretending to be asleep when he witnessed the second molestation.
