Prosecutors suffer blow in Jackson case
Prosecutors in the Michael Jackson molestation case lost a key battle when a judge refused their request to allow testimony from a domestic violence expert to explain why the mother of Jackson’s accuser lied under oath.
The Jackson trial is not about domestic violence and “it would be a mistake to allow it”, Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville said yesterday of the prosecution’s attempt to portray the mother as a battered woman.
