Michael Jackson PR aide gives damaging evidence

A Las Vegas public relations specialist who briefly worked for Michael Jackson gave damaging testimony against the pop star yesterday, suggesting his associates arranged a smear campaign against the family who would ultimately accuse him of molestation.

Jackson, 46, is accused of molesting 13-year-old cancer survivor Gavin Arvizo at his Neverland Ranch in 2003, giving him alcohol and conspiring to hold the boy’s family captive.
