Jackson judge considers sanctions against Meserau

The judge in Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial said today he may sanction lead defence lawyer Thomas Mesereau for misrepresenting the terms under which Jackson waived his privilege of confidentiality with former lawyer Mark Geragos.

“I feel deceived by Mr Mesereau and I am considering … sanctions of some sort against Mr Mesereau,” Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville said in a hearing before Geragos resumed testifying.
